Printing Sketches

[Anonymous]

I realize this has come up before but it seems from a users point of view it would not be hard to implement and would be somewhat useful. I need very complex final drawing in order to produce a product. However, I am not willing to make all the drawings and renderings before I have a commission. I need to throw together a sketch and pitch it to the customer. Since I also use this sketch to work out some of the tricky bits of geometry so as to not make a promise I can't keep it would be nice to have a quick print sketch option. Then the customer could draw on it and could move on without having all the final drawings. Both of these prints have the same information. One is from the sketch the other from the model. It is clear which will be more useful to my customer.

This is long overdue.  I bang my head against this problem all the time.

I have found that by taping a pen to the side of my CNC I can sketch parts using the trace command. I need to make a spring loaded pen to improve the quality.

IMO this is a basic requirement.

It is quite bizarre that F360, with all its amazing tech, cannot even print a sketch easily.

Very BASIC requirement indeed.

why not just export it as a pdf, and print it?

two mouse clicks and you are done.

@dieselguy65-because that function is available for DRAWINGS, but not for SKETCHES.  And you can't put a sketch in a drawing either.

Here's the thing, sketches aren't drawings.
Every CAD software I've used, granted that's only half dozen, lines in
sketches have no weight.
How do you intend, to print lines in a sketch, that don't have any weight
(thickness)?

This is now possible. Simply create a drawing page and turn on the sketch! Thank you!

The functionality is now present, but does not work well. I've identified some of the issues on this link:

How is a print button not a feature???

At the moment I have to set the zoom to a nice level, capture that view of my sketch as a 1024x1024 png with NOT 72 dpi (although it says so) and then print it. I then take a ruler and measure how much I was betrayed. In my actual case the picture should have been 120dpi instead of 72. Figured that out in 3 iterations. Now the scale is perfect enough to work with it. But why on earth can Fusion not fill in the correct dpi value for me? Why is it always 72 dpi although that is not correct? If I zoom out and in the dpi value just stays the same. This would not be an added feature but simple a fixed bug.
