Hippocode Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Has anyone ever succeeded in printing ONE worksheet on ONE paper with the option "scale to fit" selected? As this gets ignored, anyone knows a workaround besides printing scaled viewports of worksheets (which is what I'm doing now and it sucks)?

0 GWS Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 No I have only had success with the viewport method, which I agree, is tedious. I think most users agree that worksheets need a lot of updating. Quote Link to comment
0 Hippocode Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Indeed, Using a script that creates over 40 worksheet pages that need to be batchprinted gave me a really bad day :mad: . The silly part is that you can't import sheet layers with viewports, so even though I now have a template file with a-lot-of-viewports I still have to copy all my other drawings into this template .

0 RickR Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I copy the data to Excel and print from there. Quote Link to comment
0 Hippocode Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I copy the data to Excel and print from there. That's one way, but I took the time to format my sheets in vw. Something that can't be copied into excel Quote Link to comment
0 RickR Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Is this one giant worksheet or 40 smaller ones? One tip I tried recently was to print a worksheet to PDF. Then import the PDF as a reference and place the pages so they print well. I also duplicated the page header and titles with text and lines, so each page can have them. The beauty is when you update the PDF file it all comes along. You could even set up a VW file just for printing from other projects because it all comes through the external PDF. Just change the source link and everything should fall into place. Now getting worksheets to look nice is another topic... Quote Link to comment
