Printing without a SWdrw Background

Feb 15, 2006 2 Replies

Hello, "I have a dream" And I want to forfill it as soon as posible,



I want to print SW-drawings without background, ( no white, or black, or .. , only the model and nothing more ) or is there a way to print the background as transparant ? because i want to draw on a plane area without any sheet form and then print it directly on a pre-installed company form that is made by 3rd company's software. It's working with almost all the software programs but not with SW because SW is printing its background over the form and that is resulting in no form at all. and that's not what i want.



in (Autocad) almost all the software programs there is the option to print without background, and SW seems to be more intelligent so, is it possible or not?



Please let me know if and how, or if not ?? why is this left out ?? or is it an option in future ??



Frendly greetings,



Paul van Uden


Paul,

You can indeed print without the background. In the File-Print menu, there is a check mark to print background. Uncheck it and you should be set.

Anything you print or save directly from SW is going to have some sort of opaque background, generally the screen color.

There are only limited file types that support transparent backgrounds, such as gif, png, ico.
