OpenRoads Designer Installed via Layout Installing To Different Folders

PrionPrime — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 20:29:28 GMT

Hello,

I have 2 users, both using OpenRoads Designer CONNECT. User A has been using it since a really early version and gets his updates through CONNECT Client most of the time.

User B just had the latest version (Update 4) installed for the first time along side Microstation CONNECT.

When I was asked to install the software on user B's machine, I made a layout image using the latest installer. I only change the target of the workspace environment. Everything else is default.

After I installed it on the 2nd users computer, I got complaints that the configuration files weren't working right and the problem seemed to be that the folder names were different in C:\ProgramData.

Sure enough, the oldest installation had a folder structure as C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer 10.00.00.00

The newer installation had a folder structure of C"\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer 10.06.00.00

After trying to manually remove OpenRoads from the older installation it would return to the same folder name. I removed all folders and registry items with OpenRoads in the name manually prior to re-installation.

I also ran the layout image on a 3rd computer that had no other CONNECT software installed. It gave yet a 3rd folder name of C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE!

All 3 installations were from the same layout files. How do I make sure these all install to the same place?

[V8i]Same Plot CFG creates 2 different output weights depending on which printer it gets sent to.

Hello,

We have been using the same cfg file for quite some time on a Gestetner (Ricoh) copier for 11x17 prints. Everything is shaded and weighted properly.

We recently got a new Canon copier to replace one of the Gestetners. When we use the same print cfg to send a print to the Canon it is generally much lighter and the difference between the lightest and darkest are all wrong. Its not a case of the printer just being lighter all-around. The border is still black as black can be.

What can I do to find out the source of this issue? Will we have to make a whole new cfg for each printer?
