KOMPAS-3D v23

Using special print, you can output the current document to printing devices which allow you to adjust the size of the print page according to the document sheet on the fly, during the printing process. For example, you have a multi-sheet document with sheets of various sizes. When using the Special Print feature to output this document to a virtual XPS printer, an XPS file will be created, and the size of the pages in this file will match the size of the sheets in the document.

When you use the Special Print feature for printing fragments and models, a single-page document is created, and the size of this page matches the dimensions of the image of this fragment or model.
