Previewing Printouts

You can see how the drawing will look when it is printed or plotted.

To preview a printout:

1. Click File > Print Preview (or type Preview).

2. Use the toolbar to:

   

   • Print or plot the drawing.

   • Pan the preview.

   • Zoom in or out (the default state).

   • Zoom to window specified by two opposite points on the preview.

   • Zoom to the original view of the preview.

   • Close the preview.

Note: It is required that a printer has already been assigned to the current Model or layout Sheet. Use the PageLayout command to assign a printer to the Model or Sheet.
