Prints the current file in black and white.

This function enables you to assign a line thickness and/or colour to each pen number of your printer/plotter. Assignments can be saved to files that can always be reloaded.

From HiCAD next 2008 (version 14) onwards, the GFIG format will automatically be integrated in the SZA file when saving a drawing. This means that SZA files can now be displayed entirely, i.e. including 2-D and 3-D parts, in the HiCAD Viewer. In addition, a new Colour Management has been introduced that allows a distinguishing between drawing colours and system colours. Drawing colours are saved together with the drawing, making the formerly required additional material files redundant.

Drawings (SZN) created with older HiCAD versions can be displayed in the Viewer if they contain shaded 3-D models. Glass models or 2-D objects are not displayed in the Viewer. For a realistic representation of the 3-D models, the user additionally requires the appropriate material file.

If this option is active, the Viewer window is displayed with a white background; otherwise, the background colour selected below is used.

Assigns another background colour to the Viewer window.

The current file will be displayed as large as possible.

Use this function to simplify OpenGL displays, which is particularly useful when working with complex 3-D files. A simplified OpenGL display allows a significant acceleration of the graphic representation.

The function enables you to define the background for the sheet and model area and to optimally illuminate your 3-D model with a minimum of input - based on OpenGL.
