Printing with marquee on rotated plan view

Achille Pavlidis — Thu, 25 May 2023 22:05:56 GMT

When trying to print with marquee on a rotated plan the output is always wrong. It is like the marquee is misplaced every time. It is impossible to get to print the part inside the marquee.

Anyone else has this problem?

Hi Achille,

unfortunately this is a known issue on Mac that is entered to our defect database with no. 130450.
As a workaround I recommend saving the selected part as PDF before.

Best regards,

Thanks Katalin,

Save as pdf how? With Screen Capture? Because the preview generated pdf from the print window is rotated to.

I could save the selected area with the "Save as..." .pdf command and got the attached result.
May I miss something?

I was clicking the "Preview" button. But anyway, the "Save as pdf" produces the same result. Output is rotated and is actually displaced related to the marquee.

(note: I'm working on TW)

The only workaround is to create views and place them on layouts...

Hi Achille,

yes, you are right, my selected area was too small to see the difference. Saving to PDF works only for such tiny details.
Your recommended workaround is also correct. You can either create a drawing or a detail/ worksheet that can be printed well.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards,
