• Set up the plot on the screen (either in Base Shear vs Control Displacement, or in
Capacity Spectrum format) as you want to print it.
• If you want to change the axis labels or the axis range, click the Override Axis
Labels/Range button and make the desired changes.
• If you want to have additional notes printed on the graphics plot, type those notes in the
Additional Notes For Printed Output edit box.
• To print the graphics, select Print Graphics from the File menu at the top of the
Pushover Curve dialog box.
Note: Another technique that can be used is to create a screen plot of the entire
dialog box which you can then print from another program such as Paint,
Microsoft Word for Windows, or any other program that supports graphics.
To create the screen plot, press the Alt and Print Screen keys on your keyboard.
This will send a copy of the active window to the clipboard. (Note that if you just
press the Print Screen key, without the Alt key, you will send a picture of the
entire screen to the clipboard.) Open your other program that supports graphics
and paste the picture into that program. Usually the command to paste the
picture is called Paste, and it can be found on a menu called Edit. Once you have
pasted the picture into a file created in your program that supports graphics, you
can print from there.
