Hi!

I have two other questions,

1. How can I switch the drawing print orientation?
2. How can I specify the paper size of the drawing that I want to print for the printer?

Thanks.

Hi,

1. For watermarks please refer to the thread here (http://www.guthcad.com/forum/showthread.php?t=154)

2. For page orientation please download the very latest software update (CAD Viewer 5.0 A.26) here: CAD Viewer download page (http://www.guthcad.com/dlviewer.htm) It has a new command line switch to set the orientation:

/po=n

Set the print page orientation.
where n=0,1,2
/po=0 printer default orientation
/po=1 portrait
/po=2 landscape

Alternatively add the entry to the [Print] section of the PRINTCMD.INI file:
[Print]
initPageOrient=n

where n=0,1,2
0 = printer default orientation
1 = portrait
2 = landscape

Example: Set orientation to be landscape
[Print]
initPageOrient=2

3. For paper size CAD Viewer does not currently have any switch or ini file settings, it just uses the default paper size for the selected printer. A way to do it is to make a copy of your printer driver giving it a different name, and for the copy set the desired paper size as the default.

Hope it helps!

best regards,
software support
