That's the reason I created mapkeys to print the various sizes. The mapkeys could be used to print the whole drawing although I've got ours to print the current sheet. Just depends on your work flow.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Rich</SPAN><BR /><BR /></BODY></HTML> Fri, 03 Aug 2007 12:02:10 GMT https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/Customization/PCF-files-and-printing-to-a-network-printer/m-p/119145#M6239 RichSerafin 2007-08-03T12:02:10Z Printer Type https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/Customization/PCF-files-and-printing-to-a-network-printer/m-p/119146#M6240 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>All I needed to do was make all my selections and save the .PCF file and </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>that did the trick.. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>some suggested mapkeys </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>some suggested that I needed to add button_name to the pcf file, but It </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>worked without me adding this.. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Why is it always the simplest answer is the one you don't think of? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks everyone. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Terry Johnson</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Senior Technical Specialist</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Raytheon -- North Texas</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>972-344-5689</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Save the earth.
