Sheets/Printing

Ok. Was wondering if anyone has had this problem. I'm trying to get my company's Standards set up. We are using Dynamic Views. Now we set up a sheet seed that has the project specific title block referenced in. Then all we are doing is dragging and dropping the Dynamic Views into a copy of the sheet seed that is renamed to the approperiate sheet name for the project, such as: A201, A202, etc. The problem that we are running into is that we can only print it once. When we go to print that sheet again we get in the print preview just the title block and not any of the Dynamic Views that where loaded into that sheet. We get the same thing when we print. Any idea's on why this is happing. The only way we have got it fixed so far is to redo the sheet all together. Which is not very productive. Anyways if you could help it would be greatly appricative. We are currently working on Version 08.11.05.52

    The files must all be in the same directory.  I've amn example posted in this forum http://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/5917.aspx

    The nested filed don't show and only annotations do.

    I have made sure that my reference variable points to all directores with the files that are referenced.  DEM fiels work fine but the BV's cannot be seen.

  • Well, think I figured out what was going on. Under the Print dialog box>Settings>Preference, the preview timeout was set to 10 sec. Wants we changed the time to 60 sec. everything started showing up. Since then we have been able to print everything. So for those that are having this issue check that Preferece and see if that helps.

  • So the print preview was just timing out before it had time to refresh?  Interesting...

    Good info for the print/plot-impaired among us.     :)
