Preferences Printing

Print Line Boldness  You can specify the printed line thickness, as printers differ in the way they output lines.

Text Size Factor Scaling text strictly according to the plan scale doesn't always provide acceptable results. You may want to change these settings to suit your preferences when you print at different scales.

Omit Printed Dimensions when there isn't room for the dimension text: This checkbox is checked by default.

Printing dimensions when the dimension is too small to provide room can make drawings look messy.

Printer resolutions and printing scales make it a complex task to assure clean looking drawings.

If you check this box, it becomes your responsibility to assure that your dimensions won't become too small to print properly at the chosen scale.

Limit the size of printed text

Set a maximum and a minimum for printed text.

Scaling from the screen to paper can cause text to be too large, or too small. These limits can help contain theat problem.
