Printing

Print assembly

You can print the drawings and the parts list of an assembly right from SPCat.

Entire catalog

The catalog consists of the front page, an introduction, the table of contents, and the design drawings with related parts lists.

Define the print layout

The catalog author can specify which data fields of the parts list are to be printed. You can also adjust some other layout related settings.

Create MS Word file

The SPCat command "Create Word" automatically creates an MS Word file which contains the entire catalog. This requires MS Word to be installed on your catalog workstation.

Create a PDF file

Starting "Adobe PDF Maker" in MS Word will automatically create a PDF file. The PDF file contains bookmarks which reflect the hierarchical structure of the catalog. This requires Adobe Acrobat to be installed on your catalog workstation. 

Duplex printing

The page layout makes sure that assembly drawings and the related parts lists will appear on pages facing each other when duplex printing. This means that assembly drawings and parts lists can be seen at the same time.
