Printing and Exporting as an Image File
Once your drawing is complete there are a number of options available to you:
Print directly from Color to your printer.
Export to a JPG or Adobe® PDF file to email to a client or send to a print shop for printing.
Export as a PDF file and then print from PDF to your printer.
Export as a PDF file to email to a client or send to a print shop for printing.
Important notes about printing:
If you are printing from a computer that does not meet the recommended system requirements you may have difficulty printing larger colored drawings. You may also experience problems exporting as a JPG
It is not recommended to print to paper larger than ARCH‐D (24”x36”) size. The print file size may be too large for some printers to handle
If you are experiencing problems, choose the smallest paper size that is appropriate for the drawing to reduce the chance of a problem occurring
Using the PDF option is always a good alternative for anyone experiencing printing problem
Always save your drawing before printing or exporting as a JPG.
