Print Organizer Fonts and Lintestyles

Jason Brame — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:29:45 GMT

I am working on a new workspace for my company and have encountered a problem with print organizer not using the fonts and linestyles that are called for in the workspace. I am using the correct pcf. The dgn looks correct on the screen and when I print a sheet through the print dialogue it looks correct but when I print it through the print organizer the fonts and linestyles are all wrong.

I have compared the loaded resource files through Configuration Explorer. The new and old workspaces are loading the same files from the same directory. I have attached some images below to help.

Relevant software and OS:

MicroStation: 08.11.09.459 (does not change from one workspace to the next)

Windows 7 Professional with service pack 1

Thanks,

Jason

The image above is wrong

The image below is correct.

How do you run a .txt file with Key-In commands in ORD-CE through PW via a Key-In

David Sullivan — Mon, 14 Dec 2020 21:51:55 GMT

Hello Folks,

I am trying to use a Key-In to run a .txt file that contains Key-In commands in ORD-CE while in PW and we need to use a variable for the location of the .txt file.

Outside of PW this has worked using this Key-In: "$ @$(_GDOT_WORKSPACE_PATH)/DGNUtil/02Index_ORD-CE_Default.txt".

This Key-In should work inside of PW too since the variable is the same, but it doesn't. I have also tried the direct address Key- In too: "@pw://gdot-go-pwis11.gdot.ad.local:ProjectWise/Documents/Standards/Workspace/GDOT_CE/Organization-Civil/GDOT_Standards/DGNUtil/02Index_ORD-CE_Default.txt", but that too does not work either. I have also tried backslashes (\) too. Does anyone have any suggestions?

ORD-CE v.10.08.01.33

PW v. 10.00.03.49

Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Merry CHRISTmas,

David

Linestyle not printing from print organizer

Taylor Brownlow — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:02:25 GMT

I have drawings with a certain linestyle pictured below. When I print from the microstation print dialog the linestyle shows up how it is supposed to. When I print from the print organizer it prints as just a line with no style associated. I have tried changing the display setting in the print organizer and nothing works. The print driver/pentable for the print dialog are exactly the same. Any ideas on why this is happening? I'm trying to figure this out so all of our sheets can be printed from the organizer instead of having to do some individually. I've attached all relevant items.

Configuration Explorer CONNECT for V8i

David Sullivan — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 14:54:08 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I have a couple of questions:

Can I use the CONNECT version of Configuration Explorer to view V8i configurations?
1. If so, how do I make it see the V8i programs?
If that doesn't work, can I download the V8i version of Configuration Explorer?

Thanks for any help.

V8i SS2 v08.11.07.492 - Print Organizer not printing new Line Styles

David Sullivan — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 15:03:17 GMT

Hello Folks,

We have established .pset's, .pltcfg's and pentables that were created by previous admin folks. The Print Organizer has been working correctly for years now. Recently we added several new Line Styles. When we use the Print dialog the new Line Styles will print to a .pdf. But, when we use the established .pset's, with the same .pltcfg and .tbl, in Print Organizer the new Line Styles print as a solid line. All the other Line Styles still print correctly. Does anyone have any ideas what is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

God bless,

David

Listing of Line Styles in .rsc file - (V8i SS2)

David Sullivan — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 12:00:44 GMT

Good Morning Folks,

We have inherited a rather large list of Line Styles and we are trying to get our arms around them. We want to clean out old legacy ones that we do not use any more. We would also like to create a sheet for test plotting all the Line Styles with different plotting scenarios to make sure they plot and are correct. Is their any way to export the information in .rsc file and reproduce that information in a spreadsheet and/or drawn out in a .dgn file with the Line Style's name or will I need to do this manually? I may be asking a lot but I figure that I can't be the only one who would like to be able to do this. Thanks!

God bless,

Where does MicroStation V8i keep the Working Unit > Linear Unit: Format list?

David Sullivan — Sun, 28 Oct 2018 21:28:32 GMT

Hello Everyone,

We have had a funny thing happen. Some how the Linear Unit: Format: options have changed on us. They were originally set to this list:

This is what it changed to

We have been looking for where this list is and how to change it. We did discover that we could change it by editing the Locks.cfg. We changed this line: _USTN_CAPABILITY < -CAPABILITY_UNITS_DGNFORMAT to _USTN_CAPABILITY < +CAPABILITY_UNITS_DGNFORMAT and this gave us the correct drop down list.

We are using MS V8i SS2 v-08.11.07.492.

Does anyone know where these drop down list are and what could have changed it or did we discover the answer in the Locks.cfg file? Thanks for any help.

God bless,

David

running a .txt file to change levels, draw line and label the level

David Sullivan — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 12:40:53 GMT

Good Morning,

I am trying to figure out how the previous administrators ran a .txt file into a .dgn so that it will go through all the levels, draw a line for that level and then place text of that level's name. Here is the beginning few lines of the .txt file. I have tried @C:\path\file_name.txt in the keyin but it doesn't seem to work. Nor does starting the Place Line command and then running the keyin.

I appreciate any help, thanks.

God bless,

Levels Shown as used but I can not find them in the file

David Sullivan — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 16:53:52 GMT

Good Morning,

I have a .dgn file that when I look at the Level Display it list a large number of levels with elements on that level and is used but I cannot see them. I make on active and turn off all the others and fit view and nothing is there. They do not seem to really be there but they are listed. Does anyone have any idea how I can remove them from the Level Display list if they are really not there or why they are listed to begin with?

I have attached a sample file. Thankscommunities.bentley.com/.../0012638UTLE.dgn!

God bless,
