    CONNECT Edition - Printing rasterized PDF takes very long

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Print/Plot
      Subarea: N\A

    Problem

    In OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition, it can take very long to generate a rasterized PDF with the settings: Applying Fence: Type: Block, Mode: Inside, Print: Print as PDF with A0 format, maximized plotting. The same process in AECOsim Buildings Designer V8i SS6 is much faster.

    Solution

    When printing in rasterized mode, all the graphics in the design are converted into raster by the MicroStation display system before being sent to the printer driver. The final plot file (or data spooled through Windows) consists of only non-overlapping raster tiles.

    Rasterized printing requires many more passes over the design, resulting in longer print times than a non-rasterized print. Raster data is also usually larger than vector data.

    The following variables can be used to improve the speed of the rasterized print. They can be defined under file – Settings – Configuration – Configuration Variables.

    MS_PLT_RASTERIZED_MAX_TILE_WIDTH

    and

    MS_PLT_RASTERIZED_MAX_TILE_HEIGHT

    Note: Tile Width / Height used for rasterized printing. Default width / height size is 2048 and max is 8192.

    Set the values 4096 or 8192 for the above variables. 

    Save the settings and restart OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition.
