  • Press Esc or the Cancel button to abort the command.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • To create a PDF from a TechDraw page you can also use the File → Export → Technical Drawing (*.svg *.dxf *.pdf) menu option. Or you can right-click the TechDraw page in the Main View Area and select Export PDF from the context menu.
  • A PDF file created from the 3D View will contain a bitmap image, a screenshot.
