File - Print

Select File - Print to print a report which contains the current view displayed in the Graphics window.

You can zoom in on the area in which you are interested, or choose to display the whole model. You can either print the error map for the model (displayed when you click on the Shade Errors button ), or turn it off and label points with their errors. For more details about labelling points, click here.

When you select this menu option, CopyCAD display the CopyCAD Print dialog box.

Note: Before you start, you must make sure that the view of the model is that which you want to print. Make sure that it is correctly orientated and that the model fills the whole of the Graphics window.

You can set the options for the printed report as follows:

• You can select the printer you want to use and the print properties in the Printer area
  
  
• If you to have a white background behind the model, leave the White Background check box selected. If you want a black background, click on the check box to de-select it.
  
  
• If you are using a black and white printer and you would like to greyscale the model colours, click on the Mono Printer check box to select it.
  
  
• If you want to put a border around the model image in the report, specify its size in the Border Size (mm) box.
  
  
• You can use the Gamma Value box to set the brightness of the image. A higher gamma value gives overall a brighter image. By default, the Gamma Value is set to 1.
  
  
• You can set where the model image will be positioned on the report using the Justification box. By default, it will be positioned at the Upper Left corner of the report.
  
  
• You can set how many copies of the report you want printed using the Number of copies box.
  
  
• You can set the size of the model image using the options in the Size area, either To Fit Paper, or by setting the Width or Height in millimetres.
