CMS Intellicad 10.0 and PC3 editing - Custom printable borders are not saved or loaded
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2020 11:34 am
Dear support team,
I'm evaluating CMS IntelliCAD 10.0. During the evaluation, I found this strange behaviour in the managment of the PC3 configuration:
To reproduce:
1) open a DWG in intellicad 10.0
2) go to the 2D model tab
3) type PRINT
4) select "DWG to PDF.pc3" as the printer Name
5) Select ISO expand A0 as the Paper Size. you can see that the printable area is lower than the theoretical Page Size.
6) click on "Properties..."
7) click on the Settings pane
8 ) Click on Modify Paper Sizes (Printable Area)
9) Click on Modify Paper Sizes...
10) Click on ISO expand A0
11) Click on Edit...
12) Set all top, Bottom,Left and right margins to 0 to try and obtain a borderless page
13) Click on OK
14) Click on OK
15) Click on Save As and save as "DWG to PDF Borderless.pc3"
16) Click on OK (if asked to save, saave as "DWG to PDF Borderless").
17) select "DWG to PDF_bordderless.pc3" as the printer Name
18) You will still find that ISO expand has the printable area is lower than the theoretical Page Size.
Modifications to the pc3 relevnat to margins are neither saved nor loaded back from a custom pc3.
The same apply trying to have larger margins. The modifications are neither save nor loaded.
The same apply trying to customise the PDFCreator printer. Borderless page cannot be obtained.
Can you confirm if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you
Best regards,
