Hello!
I am using the AEC-Guide for DraftSight 2018 to learn the DraftSight program. Under Chapter 7, Printing, the instructions are to work with a Sheet from the practice drawing which is designated as the practice print page. The instructions are to right click on the name of the Sheet "1/50" and there would appear the a drop down menu, click on Print Configuration Manager and the Print Configuration Manager would appear with 2 options: "Default" and "A1-Landscape PDF."
However, I only get the "Default" option. I have downloaded the practice drawing from the instructions several times in case I did something wrong, but in all versions, I only get the "Default" and no "A1-Landscape PDF."
Also, in choosing the paper size, the option ISO_A3 requested in the instructions does not appear as an option in the DraftSight version 2019 The instructions request ISO_A3 and there is only A3. Along with no ISO_A3, there are no margin delineations as well. The pop up menu: "PDF: Custom Paper Size" does not appear and I cannot designate margins.
So when you close the printer set up and go back to the Sheet, the margins in dashes requested in the instructions do not appear. I have to draw the border in myself with no knowledge as to what the margin measurements should be.
Is the new version of DraftSight 2019 different from the instructions of 2018? If so, is the Chapter on Printing different in the 2019 program? Are there new instructions for Printing in 2019?
This is the chapter that my boss really wants me to learn and I'm stuck. Of all chapters, this is the one that does not work.
Please let me know! Thank you!
Cheers!
Patty Shenk
