workbench-PrintDialog

 Print provides the capability to print the WireSheet. The WireSheet will remain fixed at logical size of 100 x 100 "blocks". Printing will scale the WireSheet drawing to fit the page size (minus header and footer). Thus if you build your WireSheet logic in the top left corner, you will get a large scale for your print out. If you use the entire WireSheet down to the bottom right corner, you will get a much smaller scale for your print out. Margins are 1" for left and 1/2" for top, bottom, and right. A standard header is included which displays container's reference and current date. A future version will create a footer listing external links and knobs.

workbench-ExportDialog

 Export provides the capability to Export views. You can Export any Table found in the workbench (anything built with bajaui:Table). The Table options menu (that little button to the right of the header), includes a Print and Export command. These commands allow you to Export the Table to PDF, HTML, or CSV (ExcelFile). The Export uses the current sort order and visible columns you have displayed.
