Highlight when printing

[yannicknielsen]

Hey there!

I have a problem when printing.

I often print in the part or assembly environment, because showing a 3D picture to our blacksmiths is easier than trying to explain the stuff so they can imagine it.

Now, when I print, Inventor decides to highlight the last part that was highlighted (I suppose), so I always end up having a print with at least one part with red outlines. It doesn't matter if I try to unmark it, mark the whole assembly, or anything.

I am wondering why it does this, and how to turn it off?

I am attaching a picture of the print prompt and highlight.

Best regards

Yannick,

Before you print make sure the cursor has not hovered over any parts in the model screen.  Move the cursor to the outside instead of across the model.  This happens to me occationally as well and this is what I do to avoid this.

Oh. It seems you're almost right. Dragging across the model didn't do anything, but it's because the menu pops down over my browser, so I'll have one highlighted from mousing over when the print menu pops up.

I'll try and be careful about that.

Thanks!
