The use of "Microsoft Print to PDF" to create digital copies of your PYTHA plots may cause errors to occur within PYTHA. The following corrupted dialog box may appear:

      
It may also cause the following dialogue box to appear when attempting to print drawings:

                        

This can be fixed using the following steps:

  • Please save any work in PYTHA before continuing 
  • Ensure that your default plotter in the "Page Setup" menu is set to something other than "Microsoft Print to PDF" (There are a number of alternative PDF converters that can be downloaded from the internet free of charge)
  • Select "Print", change the selected printer to your new default and hit "%OK" (This will cause PYTHA to crash and close)
  • Reopen PYTHA, go to “View” on the PYTHA Menu Bar and select "Reset dialogs"   

                  

  • When you return to the Plotting page, the dialog boxes should now be back to normal
