Notes

This command is available in both the ANSYS and DISPLAY programs. It is valid for postscript format files chosen in ANSYS with the /SHOW,PSCR command, or in DISPLAY with /SHOWDISP,POSTSCRIPT.

An output file is generated for each plot. The ANSYS file is named JobnameNN.pscr. In the DISPLAY program, this file is named PSCRnn. This file remains open for a subsequent /NOERASE plot, and will be incomplete until the program is closed (/EXIT), or until the next file is opened by the next /ERASE plot request.

Issuing PSCR,STAT will list paper size, orientation and resolution modes.
