BeachHouse1 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I hope this is me being the nut-behind-the-wheel, because if not, this is annoying. When you open the print dialog box, it automatically Previews the entire drawing set, even if all you really want to do is print one page. What's u[ with that?

I'd sometimes wondered if I was unique in doing that because my computer was too slow or something. Sometimes (can't figure out the trigger) you don't even have to update in order to print.

Nope, you're not alone. I have that setting turned off by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK Chief runs the Update before it Prints anything to make sure everything is upto date in the Layout before wasting (expensive) Ink.....but why I Print to PDF too 1st. M.

I'm referring to the print dialog box not the individual layouts. Does your suggestion still apply? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but only after it goes through every sheet prior to alloying changes to the print options. I'm hoping to disable this feature until the which sheet to print has been selected.

I'm hoping to disable this feature until the which sheet to print has been selected. This may help a little. You could then go back to Drawing Sheet Setup and check Remember Print Settings After Printing. Uncheck Update Automatically. This will remember the Current Sheet setting and will only display the current sheet. Downside is that it will remember the other settings as well - but that may not be a problem if your print jobs use the same settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
