Printing...
Hi,
I just tried to print and I'm really disappointed.
I remember I tried bricscad long time ago, and the print dialog was working. It had many other problems, then, but printing was quite ok.
Now the opposite. Besides some crashes is almost all perfect BESIDES printing.
After looking in forum, if I understand well, I see that you removed the whole print-to-printer stuff and force to use print-to-pdf. Why ? This may be ok for final printouts, but in my ordinary job I use to quick print a model space window to show to my co-workers what to do.
Now I must:
1) Use the dialog to setup a page (sic) and print to pdf
2) Use another application to print the pdf
And, worse...
3) I can't simply plot to a png-jpg, which is a must to quickly embed some printouts in openoffice documents.
Even worse, the print-preview DOESN'T work, showing only a black rectangle.
I wrote many linux applications that prints through CUPS, and it's even easier than in windows.
Cups can list all printers (even network ones appearing on the fly), and the print interface is quite simple and uniform.
Is the print-to-pdf just a temporary stuff, or it's meant to stay forever ?
Best Regards
Massimo
