Printing

Juan,

Obviously you only want to print the relevant Page(s) and not the whole book. Open your PDF browser and scroll to the page you want. The page number will be displayed on the toolbar. Then click on the print icon. This will bring up the print menu, where you can enter the page(s) you want to print, which brings up an image of the first page you selected. Click print and you should have just the page you want. If you want to use the drawing for accurate modelling, it's a good idea to verify that it has actually come out at the correct scale. If the drawing includes a scale bar, use this. Otherwise compare some dimensions on the drawing to the full-scale dimensions divided by 35. If you come up with an error, photocopy the drawing at a percentage that will correct the error, and then either destroy the original, or write on it "not to scale" so that you don't inadvertantly use it as your modelling reference.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
Adam C.
