• Print on paper:


  


- Number of copies:


Specify the number of copies for all selected documents.


- Handle the number of copies differently (Nx1, rather than 1xN):


This option applies specifically to certain printer drivers that do not recognize the number of copies.

With this option, the driver is instructed to print the number of documents once, rather than printing each document once.

For example, to print two copies of the Verin.slddrw drawing:

- When the option is not checked:

    We are starting to print the Verin.slddrw drawing with a quantity of 2

- When the option is checked:

We run the print job for the Verin.slddrw drawing twice with a quantity of 1


  • Publishing settings:


 


- Printing the plan sheets:


This option allows you to print all sheets, only the active sheet, or select the page numbers to print.

In this example, only pages 1 and 2 of all selected documents will be printed. The separator character is;.


  


- Size (Reduce/Enlarge):


-Format: The printout is generated in the format of each selected document.

-Force the following format: This option allows you to force a print format.


In this example all selected documents will be printed in A4 format, regardless of their default sizes.


this option is linked to the Impose the following format and allows you to force the printer selected in chapter Printers for the chosen format.


  • Document Operations:


  


- Rebuild documents on startup:

This option allows you to start a rebuild each time a selected document is opened.


- Zoom to full screen:

This option allows you to zoom to full screen before printing each selected document.


- Switch to high-quality drawing views:

This option applies the SOLIDWORKS High Quality option to the views of all selected drawings.


- Uploading documents for viewing only:

This option opens all selected documents in single-view mode.


- Test the validity of the views (wait until the page has finished reloading when you open it):

This option allows you to start printing only after the selected drawings have been reconstructed.


- Use a delay after opening the plan:

This option allows you to add a delay when opening drawings.


In this example the printing of the drawings will start 15 seconds after the opening of each drawing. This allows SOLIDWORKS (for large assembly drawings) to fully load the drawing before printing.


  • Manage document properties when printing:


 


This window allows you to update the document's properties before printing.


Example: In the title block of this drawing, we will fill in the "Modified on" and "By" fields before printing the documents.


 


I enter both properties into the utility


 


The properties will be filled in during printing.


   

A maximum of 5 properties can be added.
