How to print the entire drawing with format

• Click zoom out on the tool bar.
• Choose the zoom in tool and put a box around the entire drawing leaving some padding between the edge of your box and locating numbers and letters on the outside edge of your drawing. (Even if you already have a view like this on your screen you still need to do this.) Your screen should look something like this.

• Click on print from the tool bar or choose print from the file menu.
  • Click on the configure button and make sure it is a Type A. Choose the Model tab and make sure it is going to print based on zoom (this should be the default).
• Click ok and it should print.

(I may change the format so you don’t have to do this shortly in the future.)

How to display tolerances on your drawing

• Right click in the background of the drawing.
• Choose properties and in the box that pops up choose Drawing Options.
• Scroll down in the box that pops up until you find ‘tol_display’.
  • Click on ‘tol_display’ and in the bottom right of the window choose yes in the drop down menu.
  • Click Add/Changes
• Click OK
• You can now click on individual dimensions and choose which kind of tolerancing you want to apply.
  • Left click on the dimension. Then right click and choose properties.
  • In the upper right corner of the pop-up window you can specify tolerance limits and type of tolerance.
  • If you choose nominal as type of tolerance, no tolerance will be shown.
