Batch Printing and Saving of Views

Saved and preferred Graphic Views and Output Views can be printed and saved to file without opening the view in GSA.

When saving to file the format of the saved file is determined by the respective ‘batch output file format’ setting in the Miscellaneous Preferences dialog.

The options are to print or save to file:

• a selected view,
• all views of a type (e.g. all saved Graphic Views),
• all marked views of a type (e.g. all tagged Graphic Views),
• a selected view list
• all view lists and
• all marked view lists.

The commands to invoke these options may be given either:

• from the right-click menu for the View Explorer.
• from the View | Batch View Options menu or
• remotely (i.e. without running GSA interactively) by COM Automation or by Command File.

Marking Views for Printing and Saving to File

Saved and preferred Graphic Views and Output Views and view lists can be marked for printing or saving to file by right-clicking on the view in the View Explorer and giving the “Mark <view name>” command. Views can be unmarked by the same process. Marks on saved views are saved with the model. Marks on preferred views are saved with the preferred view settings.
