Re: Printing in Inventor 2008
You have to create a 2D drawing of your part and dimension it. You probably now have a part model (.ipt) and need to create a drawing file (.idw). Very briefly:
1. Go to File-> New -> Drawing to create the blank file.
2. Then, create the base view of your part with the Base View tool and dialogs.
3. Next, change your tool pallet from Drawing View Panel to Drawing Annotation Panel and dimension the drawing.
4. Finally, print the drawing.

To learn how to do all this properly, go to Help -> Tutorials -> Basics -> Preparing Final Drawings and work through the exercises.

Enjoy!
