Printing to a printer or to a file

Abaqus/CAE allows you to print a snapshot of one or more viewports on the canvas and to send the image either directly to a printer or to a file for later use; for example, to include in a presentation, embed in a printed report, or display in an HTML document. The printed image will reproduce the layering of viewports on the canvas; that is, if one viewport obscures another on the canvas, the obscured portion will not appear in the printed image. You can select the format of the printed image; and additional options allow you to select the appearance of viewports in the resulting image, and the color, resolution, orientation, and size of the image.

Controlling the destination and appearance of printed images

To create a printed image, select FilePrint from the main menu bar. To configure your image, use the Print dialog box that appears. For detailed help on the items within the dialog box, request context-sensitive help on the individual items.

When you have finished selecting options, click OK in the Print dialog box to send the image to the selected destination. Abaqus/CAE closes the Print dialog box, sends the image to the selected destination, and saves your print options for the duration of the session.
