Introduction

ARCHLine.XP^® offers two kinds of printing opportunities:

I.Printing the active drawing:

The program prints out the drawing in the current window using the command File menu – Print.

II.Plot layout:

ARCHLine.XP^® divides printing into two phases:

• The first phase is the Prepare printing:

It prepares the files to print. You can set the physical measurements of the plot layout. You can open projects and files and place them on the plot layout and save them as a printing. You can add to the plot layout stamp, north sign, notices etc. The plot layout belongs to the current project; the command save project will save the plot layout as well.

• The second phase is the real printing, using the command File – Printing.
