14.4. Printing the Image 3D image window

Print directly

It is possible to print out the Image 3D image window, or to save it as an image file.

The settings are analogous to the general printing dialog, with less possibilities.

 

Print to file as picture

The program saves the content of the Image 3D window as a jpg image file. The image can be printed out afterwards.

Print to Pdf file

If you select the File menu – Print to Pdf file command, a similar window will appear as the previous, where you have to define the name of PDF file. There is a possibility to set the image resolve.

 

We recommend scaling the 1:100 (In case of 1:1 the file size will be too large.)

Placing the Image image window on the plot layout

It is possible to place the content of the Image image window on the plot layout. The resolution of the image will be the same as the resolution of the screen that is 75 dpi. This is enough for previewing the plot layout.

Before printing, it is suggested to apply the Plot Layout menu – Refresh layout command, so the resolution of the image will change to 300 dpi.

 

!The resolution of 300 dpi means that the image size, together with the project file size, will be increased substantially.
