The Printer Setup dialog allows you to configure the application's use of the printer.
The Printer Setup window contains:
printer
lines in the ~/.xtrkcad/xtrkcad.rc
file. The first entry, 'File', causes printouts to be sent to a file. You will be prompted for a file name when doing a print.
Note - Printing uses a default of 600ppi. It scales the print and text from a default size of 72dpi. This is often the expected value for a standard printer driver to work correctly, but will not work if the driver is not accurately setting the ppi available. To override the printer ppi you can use either the configuration file settings for print or environmental variables. These values are set in the Preferences section.
These values can also be set using environmental variables if the configuration preference values are not set or they are set to <=0.0.
