Prints the current file. The software prompts you to select the reports to print, prior to printing.

Input Listing Options Dialog Box

Any time an input listing is written to a file or to the printer, the format of each of the reports is obtained from the .inp file. The .inp files are ASCII text files which can be modified to create reports of differing styles or content. You can modify the Initial.inp to change the page length in the report, and the starting and stopping column positions. Any text editor (such as Notepad) can be used to change any of the .inp files. If you change the .inp file, you may receive fatal errors during report generation if impossible formats, or if invalid commands are requested.

For information on editing ASCII text, see ASCII Text File Rules.

If you prefer a different (more columnar) form of the basic element data, three additional formatting files have been provided.

ELEMENT0.INP - Intergraph CAS standard element format

ELEMENT1.INP - 1st alternate element format

ELEMENT2.INP - 2nd alternate element format

ELEMENT3.INP - 3rd alternate element format

To use any of these formatting files, change folders to the CAESAR II\System folder. Then, copy the formatting file that you want to use into Element.inp.

To print an Input Echo from the input dialog box, click File > Print. To write an Input Echo to the screen for review, click File > Print Preview.

You can print an input listing from the output module as part of the entire output report.
