Hello,
I am a new user of CMS Intellicad 12.0 PE
I want to print to pdf.
When I press the print button, PrintDialog command does not work.
It creates a message as you can see above.
Any thoughts for resolving this printing issue/error?

Have you installed a pdf printer on your PC?

Hello,
There is a pdf printer on my PC.
Yet, when I press the print button on the output tab of CMS, it does not open the dialog box to let me chose a printer at all.
And the software crashes.

can you try typing this on the command line and then press enter

_print

I tried. The same thing happens. It does not open the dialog box to let me chose a printer at all.

I think you may have to un-install the software and try again.
Don't forget to release the license first!!

I uninstalled the software and tried again, according to your instructions.
The same thing happens. It does not open the dialog box to let me chose a printer at all.

Additional info if it helps:
| Crash Description
Process CmsIcad caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module TD_Root_23.12_16.dll at 0033:54d6d1c8 (read from location 00000008).
Details: PrintDialog.

In that case I would suggest contacting CMS Tech Support.

I had the same problem when I was using a custom visual style in one of my mviews. I found out that if you cant resolve this issue, then the Print Dialog just blows up and posts the same exception. I discovered that with the printDialog function, the exception handler just dumps the exception to the log and does not offer viable suggestions on how to fix the problem.
IMO, on the catch portion of the try statement of the code there should be better exception handling then simply telling the user the function failed. The catch will, or should know, where the exception occurred in the code and perform a rollback of plot settings to the last successful plot performed on the drawing first then next application wide!
Suggest setting all of you visual styles to 2d wireframe and try using a proven print driver like Microsoft Print to PDF (file will be too large, but at least it should work without crashing). I had to go through every one until I found one that worked.
Good luck
