Re: Printing list of Layer Names

I thought it might be helpful to use the "print" feature of the Define Layer window,
however the results seem to have a formatting problem. "Previewing" in my print options
reflects the same as is printed. Text seems to have Left/Right alignment but vertically the
lines are cramed on top of each other. I tried changing parameters under Text/Note/Item
Number menu but had no effects.
What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Bill

Bill - what version of CADintosh? What version of Mac OS? Thorsten
will probably want to know!

It works fine for me under OS X 10.3.9 with CADintosh X v5.3.2. I
checked a drawing that had as many layers as I could find (#0 - #9)
and all seemed satisfactory. Incidentally, I tried scrolling down to
higher-numbered (empty) layers on the screen, but that does not afect
what is printed. The printout appears to be just the layers with
stuff actually on them.

I'm sorry, I have no clue as to why your printout is fouled-up.

regards

Rowland

Hi,

hmm, works here on my 10.4.4, too.
What is your configuration?

Just upgraded to 10.4.5 and CADintosh X v5.3.2. Still have the same problem.
Using an Epson R320 and a shared Epson R200 with Driver v2.1. Does it necessarily mean
the trouble lies before the printer software if it shows up in Preview?

Just discovered in the User Guide that the print function is supposed to print only the current
selected layers. (which certainly makes it more functional!)
I thought it was printing the layers listed in the current window view.
With only one layer selected it produces the same garbled list of 10 or so layers. I was
wondering if there was some sort of print cache that is not clearing? Does this offer any
additional help with diagnosing the issue?

I uploaded a screen shot of the print preview for viewing.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill - I agree, that looks awful! I have created a new folder in the
files area called Rowland Carson & put 2 files in there: a screenshot
of the layers window from a file with a number of layers, and the
resulting printout.

I assume you don't have ony other printing problems? As far as I
know, Thorsten monitors this list, but he tends to be kept pretty
busy over on the GraphicConverter list, where new releases appear
with amazing rapidity in response to user feedback.

Thanks for the assistance Roland. Had another idea to check. Opened a new file and put
data on 3 layers. Print feature works fine! Guess its up to the Guru
