Print to scale from 3D window?

Is there a way to print an iso/axo view from the 3D window to scale?

The "Archicad" tab we usually get Scale from is not available when printing in the 3D window as it is in the 2D window.

Also, "Plot" does not even come out of the plotter.

Funny, I get the scale option when I print.

If all else fails, you can copy using the flat marquee and paste into a 2D window and print from there. Make sure to use 'Scaled Drawing' at the top of the copy dialog.

I've never plotted from AC, so I don't know. Depending on your plotter you can probably print to it using the CUPS/gimp-print facilities in Panther.

Unless I'm not understanding your question.

HTH?

Not if you are in OpenGL. Switch to internal engine, analytic, and you should be able to do so.
