Not without writing a gadget to do it. There's no inbuilt way of doing it. You can use Windows features to capture/print individual definitions displayed on screen.

Why do you want to print it out? It might be that some of the existing post processor features might do what you want.

Thanks for the reply, I made some changes to the data base on my laptop by accident and wanted to compare with the data base on my PC. I suppose best way would be to export from PC then copy to laptop. Unless you know of another way.

Yes I agree. Best thing would be to export from the one you know is correct to replace the "corrupted" one.

Easy enough to use something like the snipping tool in windows 10 or some other software to take screenshots if you wanted to print out the tool database :lol: :lol:
