- [Instructor] Now that we have our drawing created,
we need to save our drawing.
So we're just going to go into file, save as,
and because this is the first time
we're saving this,
it doesn't matter if we hit save or save as.
It's going to take us to the same menu.
Save as.
Locate our folder.
And give it the appropriate name.
Now that our drawing has been saved,
we need to issue the drawing.
So there's several ways we can issue this drawing.
We can go into file,
print.
With file print,
you have the capability of sending it to your printer.
You have several options here to position
the drawing on the piece of paper.
So I can rotate this, I can say "fit to",
reduce to scale slightly so if you want to have
a little boundary or border around it,
you can do that.
If you have a specific print area,
you can just say "display" or "selection"
so you can zoom up on the drawing,
whatever portion you want to print out will be printed.
I can say
fit it to the page complete, whole,
and obviously no fitting is,
in some cases, if it's a large drawing,
and you're trying to print on a A sized format,
it's going to be way too large and not fit properly.
So, typically you'd say fit in page.
Once I've specified how I want this to fit,
my rotation,
you can go specify the printer,
you can print to a file if you want,
if I go into page setup, you'll notice
the file size that it's printing to.
I have letter, A3 ISO, A4, B, so on so forth.
So whatever paper sizes you have,
you can go in there and print to.
So if I want something a little smaller, a little bigger,
we have those options.
Can adjust your margins.
Select OK.
Once I have that all set, just select apply, OK,
and the document gets sent to the printer.
Don't forget to pick it up.
Oftentimes, you need to share the drawing with people,
and they may not have a CATIA.
So we like to save these out as PDFs.
I'm going to go into file, save as.
Here I have the ability to specify the format
that I want to save it out as,
and you can see I have TXF, DWG, TGM.
I'm going to go all the way near the bottom,
specify my PDF,
and hit save.
And what it's going to do
is it's going to save this out as that PDF.
