Print part of a drawing?

    Is it possible to print only part of a drawing (e.g. print "current screen
    view") rather than the whole thing?
    I know there are workarounds, such as doing a screen capture, but that
    gives "blocky" results.

    TIA

  2. In the print dialog area under r"ange", check"selection" & a print box will
    show on drawing, move where needed.

  3. To expand a bit on that answer, I have found that it works the best if you
    have your drawing maximized before clicking the selection box as the movable
    box appears in the lower left corner. You then set a custom scale for it
    (or whatever) to make it the size you wish to print. Change scale, move the
    box, change scale, move the box, etc. until a golden brown and the meat
    falls from the bone. Oh, wait, wrong process - I got caught up in the
    moment. :)

    Mike,

    Thanks for the tip - couldn't work out at first why no selection box
    appeared on screen, until I realised you have to zoom out to see it!

    Thanks,
    John H
