Scalescenes New Modern Factory/Warehouse Kit-Bash Build
#6
G'day All,
After reviewing my progress so far and some lessons I have learnt I have decided to put the build on hold for a week or two until I have built a module for my test of concept modular industrial switching layout to make sure I have the correct dimensions. I am also going to re-start the build with using some of the lessons that I have learnt so far. Some of those lesson have not been posted yet but they will be revealed when I recommence the thread. This is not to say that kit has problems, it is just my application that requires some careful thought.
Fortunately I will not have to print out the entire kit again as I learnt a technique from somewhere on the web that allow you to print individual components.
1. Open the pdf file containing the Scalescenes kit.

2. Find the page which contains the component your want to print.

3. In the top right hand corner of the window are three dialogue boxes. From left to right they are 'Minimize', 'Restore Down', and 'Close'. Click on 'Restore down'.

4. Using the '+' or '-' buttons on the image zoom command bring the image up to 100%.

5. By moving the right and bottom margins of the window and using the scroll controls on the right hand side and bottom of the window you can work away until only the component that you want to print is visible in the window.

6. Open the Print dialog box. Click on `Current View'. The preview box should show only the component(s) that you have isolated.

7. Set 'Page Scaling' to 'NONE'.

8. Click on 'OK' to print.

If I've communicated the directions properly only the desired component should be printed.
This is someone else's idea that I have picked up, and its a really good one!!!
