EcoPrint

Comfortable printing and batch-printing

EcoPrint eases printing of SolidWorks drawings:

For different printing tasks such as draft or final print, faxing, archival or PDF-creation you define printing profiles which store settings like output format and the printer to be used for each SolidWorks sheet size. Unlike other batch printing utilities you can also pre-define advanced settings like paper-bin, resolution and color mode, to name a few.
This saves a lot of time because without EcoPrint one has to select and verify each of these settings for every sheet of paper you have to print out.

When EcoPrint is launched with open SolidWorks drawing documents, it lists all sheets available for printing and highlights the current one. You can then change the documents to be printed, select one or several printing profiles and you are done.

In the batch mode you can select any number of files to be printed, set the printer profile, number of copies and optionally verify selected files with the fast integrated file-preview.

Print simultanously to several printers. For example you can set up a PDF printer like Adobe Acrobat or Jaws PDF creator (formerly Niknak) to always create a PDF-file copy of every print for digital archival purposes.

Easily define header and footer entries for a batch of drawings without hassling with SolidWorks dialog - even if the drawing does not contain (or contains different) header/footer information.

For drawing releases you can set up users with the "release" privillge. When one of these users prints a drawing (or creates a TIF-file etc.), EcoPrint can now add notes in the print such as the user name, date, time or any fixed text.
