For those who constantly work a different kind of drawings, do not know how important it is to know how to save autocades in PDF, because it happens that it is necessary to send a drawing to the approval, for example, or print it (in the absence of auto channel) . Let's consider it in detail today how to save autocades in PDF format and what methods there are ways.
Conservation method
It is clear that many computer spells for a regular user will not be completely clear, that is why we will try to explain everything simply, in detail and understandable. There are a number of recommendations that must be followed to achieve the goal, in this case it is saving autocadus in PDF format:
- First, the user will need to go to the settings of the sheet parameters (in this case it is being done about those sheets that you intend to print on which your drawing elements are located).
- Most often, the drawings are created in space, which is called "model", and most likely, your case is no exception. At the bottom of my drawing, you can see the icon with the inscription "Model", which will also need to choose.
- After that, a window will appear in front of you in which a whole list of various functions will be located, it will be necessary to select "Leaf Parameter Manager".
- You will have a new dialog box window, here we will need to create a new set of parameters. To implement the intended, the user needs to click on the "Create" button, which is located to the right of the main field of this window.
- Next Step - The user must specify the name of the most created set by it that the set of sheet parameters has selected, after which it is confirmed by all their changes made by pressing the button in the lower right corner "OK". Each of its own action must be maintained or confirmed that in consequences all modifications are saved.
- Now the user will need to select the appropriate driver (most often the appropriate option becomes dwg to pdf.pc3).
- It will also be necessary to choose the appropriate scale, as well as the format is a prerequisite. Here you should not forget about the orientation - another important parameter that you have to choose yourself.
- Many of your attention will have to be given to this parameter as the "print area". There are several options here, so you will be from what to choose - screen, borders, limit. You will need to choose a way that in all characteristics is suitable for you.
- There is still an important point, namely - print style. It is necessary to understand that if you choose to monochrome.ctb, then ultimately you can withdraw your drawing exclusively in monochrome (for those who do not know - it will be black and white). The end result will depend on the print quality, so this parameter should not be overlooked from the view.
- Each parameter you will see in the open window will need to be able to pay attention to not miss anything. To do everything, as it should be, just "move" on the points from the top of the window to the bottom, paying attention to each item existing in this window.
- To evaluate the result of your work, you will first need to click on the "view", the function that is in the bottom corner of the left, and if you don't like something, you can adjust it.
- If the result is suitable for you and no complaints, then you can save all changes. Introduced by the user by clicking on the "OK" button.
- It remains only to select the "Install" function in order to get the desired one.
It is important here to remember that if all the work is conducted in the "Sheet" format, then the user can configure the parameters in the same way and without any difficulties. Only there is one nuance here - it will be necessary to press the PCM on the "Sheet" at the moment when its activity is manifested.
Team "Print" to help
Now let's consider in detail another way, namely, the translation into PDF AutoCAD team "Print":
- The process is quite simple and all begins with the fact that the user must enter the main menu application.
- After that, it will be necessary to select the "Print" function and do not forget to register in the row with large letters a similar word (print).
- You can find this feature in the left column with all other functions (it will be the third bottom).
- As soon as you do these manipulations, all the dialog box will appear before your eyes, because in the previously automatic mode, it has already been created a set of necessary parameters. If it does not suit you, it means that you have to configure these parameters manually, as described above in the previous method.
- All that remains to do is save all available changes by pressing the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.
In order to export from auto channel to PDF, you must do the following:
- First of all, select the application menu, after immediately we go to the "Export" function.
- The next action is the choice of format (in our case PDF) - 4 item from above in the window that appears.
- After that, the dialog box appears before your eyes, where it will be necessary to adjust the sheet parameters, as well as the export of which part it will be necessary.
- Do not forget that the introduction of any adjustments will be required to enter a specific file name and save all changes.
At first glance, it may seem that the instruction is not simple, but in practice you can decide with all the parameters and make the changes you need just a few clicks.
