Hi Karel,

fixed recently for Windows please upgrade your version.

Re: Print button doesn't work.

There is an other problem relating to printing.

On the print settings page when you want to change the layout, e.g. the margins, if you click ok the page orientation of the preview changes to portrait even though landscape was marked. At this point the buttons portrait & landscape do not do what they are suppost to do.
The resulting printout is landscape orientation but the size of folio is what you would get on a portrait layout, the landscape page is not completely filled.

When one does the printout a second time everything is ok.

Thx for the info it works perfecly

Re: Print button doesn't work.

Hello . To adjust my scheme to the folio I went to print and found the page layout button. However, I cannot use it because it is not enabled. Is there a library that i can download to be able active the page layout button? Thank you for your time

Re: Print button doesn't work.

What your os and the QET version?

Re: Print button doesn't work.

My OS is Windows 10 and my QET version is V0.9. I also tried to use page layout downloading the V0.7 and the v0.8. And it didn't work on any.

Hope you can help me. Thanks for your reply

Re: Print button doesn't work.

Maybe you have not printed installed on your OS, or not open project in diagram?
Please send a capture screen.

Re: Print button doesn't work.

Like your screen -> project is open in diagram editor and printer icon is not grayed out.
What you see on screen is what you print on paper, no layout to configure here.

Re: Print button doesn't work.

You have a printer and you can print, also printer is installed, no?

Re: Print button doesn't work.

Thank you very much. I did it. It is that first I tried to export it to PDF and then print it and I did not get the Page Layout button activated when exporting it.

Re: Print button doesn't work.

Try checkbox print options in layout.

Re: Print button doesn't work.

I don't know where to find the checkbox print. Can you send me a caption?

Re: Print button doesn't work.

Keep coming out like this. It does not respect the margins I put in the page layout. Even if I have put the dimensions of the sheet of my design scheme the correct ones according to ISO 216:

Re: Print button doesn't work.

Maybe your problem is on your title block dimensions, try to add rows, columm or change size?
Or send me a example here?

Re: Print button doesn't work.

What is seen in the preview window is what will be printed and will not depend on the paper size, it will be the same if you want to print in A4 or A3 what you see on the screen will be represented as is whatever the sheet size.

Re: Print button doesn't work.

Some old developers pulled their hair out or even almost threw their printers away because it's so complicated depending on the operating system, the printer driver or the brand of printer, for respect margin used by printer dialog..
