Printing

I want to be able to print/plot fragments from SolidWorks. In other words,

I want to be able to print a sketch with its dimensions so that I can mark it up, add notes, etc without a lot of fuss.

Does SW have a feature like AutoCAD where you can capture what you want to see in a plot by windowing, and then print it out? When I try to print, it prints the whole sheet.

Ezra,
You should be able to zoom up to show the area you want, then in your print manager select "print window". This should print only what is shown on your screen.

Ezra,

By the way, some print managers use different dialogue, You might find a check box like "screen image", "selection", or something along those choices.
