How can you control what gets printed?

Is it possible to print to a particular scale?

I don't believe there are a lot of options in AC3D itself --- perhaps your printer has some options (via print setup)?

Your best bet may be to take a screen grab of the window you want to print and import it into an image editor with printing and scaling capabilities. Every window in AC3D 5 has a "Camera" menu, and (in Windows at least) a "Copy image to Windows clipboard" menu item - this basically copies whatever is in the window and you can paste into your editor from there.

I'm not sure what the options are on Mac/Linux (I assume there's a similar command?).

Good luck,

Dennis

Another option I use all the time is "Save 3d window to png" in the tools menu, this is even better if you anti alias the 3d window first. Most 2d viewers / editors will work with png files (my favorite is Irfanview (www.irfanview.com) be sure to download the plugins for irfanview).
