Now I can&amp;#39;t clip it. I get the error message listed above. What&amp;#39;s the problem??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The image in question is a GeoTIFF. I attached it with Geo Priority set to Attachment, and Inherit GeoCS from Model to Not Inherited. The image comes in where I expect to see it. All is good. Now I would like to clip it to my sheet border, but nothing happens and I see the red circle with the X telling me &amp;quot;Raster Image is currently Reprojected&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, it probably is. What does the LOCATION have to do with my ability to clip the image?&lt;br /&gt;Do you have any suggestions for putting my image in the right place AND being able to show only the area I want to see?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I often have to place text that includes &amp;quot;special&amp;quot; symbols not available in the standard font file (TTF) that we are required to use. The property line symbol of an overlapping P &amp;amp; L is one, but there are others. Currently, I have to place&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;App. P&amp;quot; then go back to place an &amp;quot;L&amp;quot;. I usually end up grouping the resulting two pieces of text so that it all &amp;quot;travels&amp;quot; together when I need to move it. We have a cell for that overlapping P&amp;amp;L, but it still requires me to place the initial text, then place another element and group them. Three steps instead of one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would be really nice if I had the ability to place certain annotation cells as symbols directly into my text element during creation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve posted this into the &amp;quot;Ideas&amp;quot; section of this board. I&amp;#39;m sure there are other uses for this sort of thing - I&amp;#39;m just looking at a basic need i have now.&lt;br /&gt;Are there any other suggestions for how to handle this type of information?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A colleague has been given a set of dgn files to be printed together on the same size paper as a set, one of the dgn (or sheet) behaves differently then the rest and we cannot figure out why. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are about a dozen sheets that have this look and settings which are correct:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1503403166459v3.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/486x406/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1503403166459v3.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then the black sheep (or sheet) of the set has these settings:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1503403238179v4.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/484x405/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1503403238179v4.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like this sheet to behave like the rest. &amp;nbsp;I know I can manually correct the settings to match the rest but I cannot figure out how to save&amp;nbsp;the print setting corrections that I make stick; so that when I come back and open the drawing at a later date they will be the way I want.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also when I use Print Organizer the behavior of these sheets are similar, all the sheets look the way I want except the black sheep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1503403859531v5.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/456x353/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1503403859531v5.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1503403894373v6.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/456x353/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1503403894373v6.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How can I make this dysfunctional sheet fall in line with the rest AND save those changes so that I don&amp;#39;t have to keep repeating the corrections every time I need to print the set?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Also I don&amp;#39;t know if this is relevant but when Print Organizer takes a moment to display the preview of this troublesome sheet there is displayed a thin blue line on the right-hand side of the sheet and nothing else, just momentarily, and then the blue line goes away and I get what is displayed up above and to the right (with a portion of the drawing cut-off on the right where the blue line was).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;for example. i wanted to use my custom line style in a scale 20 drawing sheet, how will i able to change the line style scale everytime i wanted to use it in different drawing scale?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(A), Is there such a thing as Microstation w/o Geopak in SS3 and later?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(B) If the answer to &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; is no, then in effect, you need the same number of Geopak licenses as you have Microstation licenses from this point on, correct?&lt;/p&gt;
