Getting hardcopy documentation of your calculations is absolutely essential. We believe you will find our current calculation reports well designed, concise, and visually appealing. You can print a single calculation or an entire set to any printer you have configured within Windows....be it a Laser printer, fax software, Adobe Acrobat file, or another destination.

 

We actively request your suggestions for changes or additions to the printouts we provide. Because printouts are so essential to your documentation we want to hear your comments!

 

Printing a Single Calculation

When editing a calculation this printing button is available.

 

To print a calculation, just select the Print button showing on the calculation screen  . This button starts printing for the current "Main" tab (Calculation, Sketch, Diagram). You will be asked to select/verify the printer to use and the printing will begin.

 

You can set up the title-block area on your printout by entering data on the Settings window, available on the main menu.

You select the calculations to print by simply clicking on them. Repeated clicking will toggle the highlight on and off. You can scroll the list up and down and select any or all calculations, or use the Select All, Clear All, and Swap Selections buttons for assistance.

A Typical Printout

All printouts in the Structural Engineering Library are designed to look like a hand calculation would be laid out and orders the information as Input, Summary of Results, Calculated Values & Details.  Please see a typical calculation shown below.
