Function Group: Save/Print

Drawing > Save/Print

This group provides functions for closing, saving and printing of drawings and the option to send drawing via E-mail .

 

Functions

Save drawing

Saves the current drawing with the current file name.

Clicking opens a pull-down menu with further Save functions, e.g. for the saving with HELiOS (PDM), or the export to other file formats.

Save drawing as

Saves a copy of the current drawing with a different, new name.

Close drawing

Closes the current drawing without ending HiCAD. If the drawing contains any unsaved changes, HiCAD prompts you to save the file.

Close all drawings

Closes all open drawings without ending HiCAD. If a drawing contains any unsaved changes, HiCAD prompts you to save the file.

Print drawing

Prints or plots the current drawing - either completely or only a detail of it.

Clicking opens a pull-down menu with the function:

Send print job (HELiOS Spooler)

If you are working with the (optionally available) HELiOS Plot Manager , you can use this function to redirect plot files from HiCAD to the Plot Manager.

Print HiCAD drawing (without HELiOS)

Use this function to directly print several drawings (i.e. without having to open them beforehand) in one step without the HELiOS Plot Manager.

Clicking opens a pull-down menu with the function:

Print all view areas

Use this function to print several model and sheet areas of a drawing in one step. In addition, you can output the files as Postscript files, auto-convert them into PDF files with the help of an appropriate converter, e.g. Ghostscript, or combine them in one PDF document. A conversion to XPS files is also possible.

These functions are optionally available!

Send drawing via E-mail

Sends the current drawing via E-mail.

If you use the 64Bit version of HiCAD together with a 32Bit version of Microsoft Office, problems with the sending of E-mails may occur. In such cases you can use the Outlook COM interface for the sending of E-mails.

For this you need to set the key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ISD Software und Systeme\HiCAD 2015\Sendmail via Outlook-COM

in the Reistry to 1.
