GGU-UPLIFT: Layout of the output sheet (Ex. 1)

Once the system has been calculated, a further legend to the soil properties legend is displayed, containing the results for buoyancy safety, together with a legend containing the results for safety against hydraulic failure. Position and format these legends according to your wishes (menu items "Output preferences/General legend, System presentation, etc.") and send the results to your printer (menu item "File/Print and export").

Enter a company letterhead. To do this, activate the Mini-CAD system by pointing to "Graphics preferences/Mini-CAD toolbar" and load the example file "GGU-UPLIFT-e.kpf" using the "Load" icon in the Mini-CAD pop-up menu. If desired, save the file to your hard drive (menu item "File/Save as"). If you would like to have a different sheet format to A4 (default), select the menu item "Output preferences/Page size and margins". If you do not want the outside borders to be displayed, click the "Graphics preferences/Margins and borders" menu item and remove the tick in the "With borders" check box.

At any editing stage of your problem (including if the system has not been calculated), you can have the current screen contents sent to the printer. Select the menu item "Print and export" from the "File" menu. A dialog box appears, in which you select the "Printer" button. If necessary, alter the printer alignment in the dialog box from "Portrait" to "Landscape" by clicking on the appropriate button. If you are using a printer that cannot take a complete A4 page, then click on the "Fit in" button. This will calculate a reduction factor (zoom factor), ensuring complete page output to the printer. Otherwise, several pages will be printed. After this, select the "OK" button, in order to start printer output. You will then get a graphic output in submission quality.
