Printing Rasterized, Rendered, and Transparent Prints

Use the Rasterized check box to indicate that the view should be output to the plotter as a single raster image. You can also print partial transparency with any printer driver capable of printing in rasterized mode. To do so, set the Rasterized check box in the Print dialog. Your system's display settings must also be set to use 24-bit color (true color) or higher.

Note: The Rasterized check box is always visible. It may be disabled if the following is true:
  • The printer driver does not support raster output, i.e. HP-GL/2.
  • The printer driver only supports rasterized output, i.e. CALS, TIFF, JPEG.
  • Point clouds are displayed withing the view to be printer.
