Print Viewport
This option will print the selected Viewport to any of the available Windows printers on the PC or network. The user has the
option to select the Viewport to print and can also optionally print a Grid and a Plan Form.
The printout can also be directed to a PDF or DXF file if required, select the output as ‘Autocad DXF file’ instead of
