Producing output

CET Designer generates a complete bill of materials while the drawing is being prepared. Changes in the drawing will automatically update the pricing and the part numbers in the calculation. Because of this you can be assured that the pricing shown in the quote always is correct.

If you are working with several alternative drawings for the customer, you get detailed quotes for each and every alternative. The quote can be saved in PDF format, and sent as an e-mail attachment and/or printed out on paper.

Note:

  • The contents of the Print Reports dialog box can vary depending on which extensions that are installed.

  • The Preview option gives a quick preview of the 3D view, a screen shot of the 3D view. Printing and creation of PDF will always perform a full rendering of the image. If you wish to view the 3D view fully rendered in the preview, click the Preview rendering button in the preview dialog. The Preview rendering button is not active if you have chosen Actual Print output from Renderings in the Print Reports dialog box.
