PrintManager Class

The PrintManager object is used to configure the global print settings.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 21.0.0.0 (21.1.1.109)

Syntax

C# 
public class PrintManager : APIObject
Visual Basic 
Public Class PrintManager _
	Inherits APIObject
Visual C++ 
public ref class PrintManager : public APIObject

Remarks

Global print settings include PrintToFile, CombinedFile, PrintToFileName, PrintRange, CopyNumber, PrintOrderReverse, Collate. Once PrintManager is acquired from a document, changes of its global print setting properties are not automatically applied toward the global print setting. Should the local setting be used, the user needs to call the Apply method. If the user calls SubmitPrint methods, not only that printing will use the current state of properties of the (local) print manager, but the setting will also be applied to the global settings.

Examples

Copy C# 
private void CreateAndPrintViewSet(Document document, ViewSet viewSet)
{
    PrintManager printManager = document.PrintManager;
    printManager.PrintRange = PrintRange.Select;
    ViewSheetSetting viewSheetSetting = printManager.ViewSheetSetting;
    viewSheetSetting.CurrentViewSheetSet.Views = viewSet;
    viewSheetSetting.SaveAs("MyViewSet");
    printManager.CombinedFile = true;
    printManager.SubmitPrint();
}
Copy VB.NET 
Private Sub CreateAndPrintViewSet(document As Document, viewSet As ViewSet)
    Dim printManager As PrintManager = document.PrintManager
    printManager.PrintRange = PrintRange.[Select]
    Dim viewSheetSetting As ViewSheetSetting = printManager.ViewSheetSetting
    viewSheetSetting.CurrentViewSheetSet.Views = viewSet
    viewSheetSetting.SaveAs("MyViewSet")
    printManager.CombinedFile = True
    printManager.SubmitPrint()
End Sub
