Print: General Settings

Access: Open this function from the following location:

Press the General Settings button on the Print dialog.

The General Settings dialog is displayed when you press the General Settings button in the Print dialog. The General Settings dialog is used together with the Print dialog to define a number of print settings. See below.

The following print settings can be defined in the General Settings dialog:

Pen & Width

In the Pen & Width frame, you can change the actual print size of each pen. The system displays default pen widths for Inch and MM units.

Line Font Definition

In the Line Font Definition frame, you can change the actual appearance of each line font.

Clicking any of the buttons next to the line font opens the following dialog.

Units

The Units parameter in the main Print dialog define whether you use inch or mm (selected from a dropdown list).

Line font definition

The Line font definition parameter allows you to define the appearance of the line font that is edited on the paper. It does so by defining the length of On and Off segments. The length is defined in numbers representing inches or mm, as defined in the units.

Note that the numbers are separated by a semicolon so both dots and commas are regarded as a decimal point.

Next to the line font definition edit box, a preview of the line is shown. This preview is updated whenever the value in the edit box is changed.

When entering the tool, the existing line font definition will appear in the edit box.

Define the length of On and Off segments as they should appear on paper. Each number defines a segment. Segments are separated by a semicolon (;). The first segment is On, the second is Off, the third is On, etc.

Select the OK button to approve the definition for the edited line font.

Select the Cancel button to keep the previous definition of the line font.
