How can I print a Revit Schedule without it being on a page?

[Anonymous]

How can I print a Revit Schedule without it being on a page?  The print screen always defaults to "Selected views/sheets".  That wont do it.

Thanks

You can not. However what is the problem with putting it on a sheet and printing it from there?

Or if you want to you can export it our of Revit and open it in other software (e.g Excel)

No

I did not get a solution to my problem.

“How can I print a schedule without putting it on a sheet?”  We frequently use the schedules for various in house uses.  I want to be able to print quickly, on the fly.  Therefore, exporting to another program isn’t good, because that is a bit convoluted. 

We don’t like temporary sheets because they find their way into sets.

I should be able to check the “Visible in view only” box and print what I see.

Why is that option grayed out?

Thank You

Sometimes we just have to give and this is one of those times.  If you are either going for some workaround or sitting there cursing some anonimous programmers.  See bold text below.

Schedule can be export to a txt file and you can linked that txt file into a Excel file.  Format  the Excel file properly once and you can just update the link the next time you export your schedule.  But I take it's too cumbersome for you so move on to the next workaround.

We don’t like temporary sheets because they find their way into sets.

Create a dedicated Sheet for this purpose.  Uncheck Appears in Sheet List and it will never get into your Sheet sets.  Label it properly so that it sorts itself to the bottom or top of the browsers.

You (we) should but you can't.  Not yet.  Submit a wishlist to Autodesk and cross your fingers.

Thank You

Go to Apps Autodesk: Scheduling

Here you might find a way to easily export schedules without having to import a txt file into Excel.

Unfortunatly for now, exporting or placing schedules on a sheet, is the only option.

You can print it using Reports without putting the schedule on a sheet.

You can also save it in PDF and Word document directly from Revit.

We really enjoy using Reports plugin for Revit. We no longer export to excel and get our drawing lists, and component lists done much faster this way. It requires a little bit of manual adjustment in the first configuration to make sure the list looks perfect, but the next prints are done without the need to configure anything. Just select the folder where to save the PDF and done.

I keep checking back here to see if/when this is finally updated in a newer version.  I don't typically need to print a schedule that is not on a sheet.  However, I frequently need to print schedules such as door schedules and interior finish schedules (on 11x17) without the rest of the info that is on that particular drawing/sheet.  Therefore, what I've found that works best for me is to (temporarily) delete the rest of the items on that particular sheet, print the schedule at "fit to page",  and then immediately "undo" the deletions.  I've also found that if you select "Visible portion of current window" under the print range, and then zoom in a little bit larger than the visible portion, it will print slightly larger to my 11x17 sheet.

Here is a good tutorial that shows exporting schedules to PDF without being on a sheet:
