       There are three buttons at the bottom of the print window they are the OK button, cancel button, and the printer setup button. This is a Windows® function screen and for your convenience we have made it accessible in KCDw®. 

 

Why are there +'s listed after the views?:

KCDw will put a plus sign after every view that has cabinets on it.  Sometimes you may put a wall up but not have a cabinet on it, you may not want to print that out.  So if you click the "Select all active views" button, only those views which have cabinets in them will be highlighted.  If you really want to print inactive views, just click on them and they will highlight.

 

Where's My 3-D?:

Sometimes you will go to print job and not see your 3-D views in the listing of available views to print.  In order for the 3-D to be available, you must first go to the 3-D section and setup your camera angle.  If you want the Presentation view to be available, you should first allow that view to generate before going to the print the job.
