Hi,
I often need to create custom footprint for new component and I need to check if it fits well. In OrCAD I was used to print it 1:1 on paper and align component on and eventually do a fine tune. Now in altium PCB library editor I can see that menu/file/print is grayed out so I can't print. I had to put a footprint on PCB and then print it but it cost more clicks & time. Is there a better way to do it?
 

You can do it by placing footprint on dummy PCB and than you can take print out in 1:1 scale size.
 

Yes I found this way too, but it's overcoming the missing feature, I wanted to know if I didn't overlook it in menu...
