HELiOS Options: Print

The Print tab of the HELiOS Options window enables you to specify the printing behaviour with regard to

the dialogue window for the printing of documents and
the printing of result lists with the Report Manager.

Print documents

These settings refer to the printing of documents via the corresponding dialogue window.

Print immediately if input unambiguous: If this checkbox has been activated, no extended dialogue window with further options will be displayed if all inputs concerning the document are unambiguous, i.e. if the document has not been assigned to a particular folder that would have to be specified for printing, the Print dialogue window will be skipped and the print job will be immediately passed to the HELiOS PrintClient.

Views:

View selection: A view selection will be offered in the Print dialogue. As soon as several views exist, you need to select at least one for each document in the dialogue.
Print all views: If this option has been chosen, all views of a document will be printed; there will be no selection options.
The additional option Include model area is relevant if you work with a CAD system (such as HiCAD or AutoCAD) that makes a distinction between model and drawing area. If this option is not activated, all sheet areas of the drawing are transferred when the print jobs are transferred to the Report Manager. If this option is activated, the model area is also transferred.
Print the view that was active when saving the model drawing: If this option has been chosen, the selection option will be skipped and the current state of the CAD drawing will be printed.

Linked articles:

Must be located in the same selected project as the document to be printed: If this checkbox has been activated, the print job can only be sent if the document and the linked article(s) are assigned to the same project.
Must be located in the same selected folder as the document to be printed: the print job can only be sent if the document and the linked article(s) are assigned to the same folder.
Must have been selected if available: If one or several linked articles exist for the document, at least one must be assigned to the print job before it can be sent.

Notes document:

Document must be explicitly selected if a notes document for it has been created or accepted: In some cases you may not want documents with created or accepted notes documents to be printed. If you activate this checkbox, notes documents in the Print dialogue will be marked as such, are excluded from printing, and will only be printed after their explicit selection.

Print result lists

If the Restart Report Manager for each print job checkbox has been activated, a new Report Manager window will be opened for each print job (already opened window will remain open); otherwise, the result list will be passed on to an already opened Report Manager for printing (the previous data will be overwritten), or, if none has been opened yet, one will be started.
