I am married to a programmer, so I understand your point about them not being the same code. However, it is important to note that the AutoCAD version of print window works well whereas the Revit version is not equivalent. It is awkward, clumsy, are requires trial and error. The people who design the software are not the people that use the software. It appears they have no clue why we would only want to print ONLY a small portion of a sheet with out extra parts hanging out along the edges.
@dplumb_BWBR, I understand that the programs were build on two separate coding platforms. My statement was not about copying the code, it was an illustration that a printing feature in Autocad developed LONG ago has not made its way to Revit even with significant requests from users. This is not modeling issues or carrying shared parametric information level stuff. Printing specific information in a view is a fairly simple solution, and as I remarked previously, one they have figured out in a parallel program previously. Your analogy would be closer to comparing a quad transmission to a motorcycle (which is much closer that a minivan) :).
Personally...while the print by window does exist (but is a pain in the....) I like to use the snipping tool in Windows and grab a screenshot and print that.
It does not work well at all. Example. I want to print what is shown in the window. [image: image.png] Preview of what it actually wants to print. [image: image.png] Window selection like a lot of other software would solve this.
No-brainers like this that NEVER get resolved are what are really frustrating for Revit users and what makes us think Autodesk doesn't care one bit about about providing a good product for the users who, you know, keep it in business by continuing to subscribe to its products year after year whether anything's been fixed or not. Companies who forget why they exist and start thinking the customers are for their benefit instead of the other way around deserve to go out of business and be replaced by another company (or open-source offering). It's one of those annoyances that comes up so frequently because it's not just when printing, but also when exporting images, which uses the same options as the print dialog box. The fact that this particular "print window" request has been on here for 9 years now, and the fact that I couldn't believe Revit didn't have that extremely basic ability back when I migrated to Revit from AutoCAD in 2009, and the fact that this can't possibly take more than an hour of programming/testing time to resolve this issue once and for all, speak to the utter disdain Autodesk apparently has for its customers. Either that or incompetence.... I mean, seriously, could they not fit in 1 hour somewhere in the last 16 years (that I've been using Revit) to mark this off the list and move on???
