The idea that we have, is that I want to make a quick external command to print the active view to our plotter with a certain setting.
We have settings templates setup, so half size, a3 etc... what I want to be able to do in the API is when the user runs my command it doesnt ask any questions, it just sends the document off to the printer with one of those settings selected.
So say the person chooses my A1 command, bang out it comes printed to a1 to the plotter, no clicking around etc, just a default setting.
I understand that the PrintMgr sample has the View.Print() function. But the only two paramaters you can supply are View Template, and a boolean of wether or not you want to use default settings.
When I tried supplying false for that, it made no difference.. it still did it anyway :/ Where can I specify which of our saved print settings to use?
I understand the .Print function is new to 2008? So its probably only in its infancy, therefore that function might not be possible?
