Personal Drill Book Printer

The Personal Drill Book Printer is a plug-in that harnesses one of the most powerful features of the Performer’s Practice Tools. This plug-in allows you to print customized drill books for each performer that contain drill charts, set by set pathways, and coordinate sheets.

Printing a Drill Book

Before printing drill books it is suggested that you label and name all performers (in the Cast List) for this tool to be most effective. To print a Personalized Drill Book select Print Personalized Drill Books from the File menu.

This will open the Print options for the Personalized Drill Books.
