Sheet format will not print

[PenDragon1970]

I've looked thru past posts but I haven't come across the issue I'm having.

I'm creating custom borders/templates. I've modified a C size to become a D size, everything seems fine, but when I try to print preview, or even when I print, the entire contents are invisible. They won't print. What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind, I figured it out.

I assumed it must have something to do with print area since I created the D from the C and so many SW "switches" and such are carried over. I had to reset the scale factor. I imagine I'll have a lot of issues like this until I learn the interface in and out.

Shane,

Welcome to Eng-Tips.... Solidworks is a lot of... "Hey, I just figured it out." But the people on this sight are great people.

I have a couple of old friends that work(d) at SNC... Spencer Ericksen...

Anyway, A trick we use for porting sheet sets from one sheet to another is to make them into blocks, move the block, then explode it on the new sheet. Works a little better than dealing with changing over the internals of a C into a D or E.

Good luck,

Wes C.

I appreciate the tip - just wish I learned it 2 days ago. Coming from an Autodesk background, not much in SW is intuitive or works the way I think it should.

I know Spencer . He works up in ISR. Where you from?

Alas, the transition is hardest from the Autodesk suite. But you'll you'll find it's easier (after the transition)
