Hi Maria,

Thanks, I use a lot of different versions from MicroStation to Railtrack PowerCivil and ORD connect editions :)

I see this file is responsible for the input:

C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i_08.11.09.459\WorkSpace\System\data\sheetsizes.def

Hi Christiaan,

What MicroStation version are you using?

I believe in V8i the borders folder is available From C:ProgramData<Bentley MicroStation v8i (SELECTseries)workspaces<systems

If working in CONNECT I think the folder is under C: Programdata<Bentley<CONNECT Edition<Configuration<Workspaces<Examples<WorkSets<MetroStation<dgn

Review this Blog as Sheet Border is explained there communities.bentley.com/.../introduction-to-sheet-border

Note: the default sheet sizes are referenced from the sheetsizes.def file .

If you want to create your own customized definition copy this file sheetsizes.def to your corporate workspace folder. Use the variable MS_CUSTOMSHEETSIZEDEF to point to your file location.

Sheetsizes.def is normally saved in the Data folder

In CONNECT C:Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT edition..\MicroStation \Default\Data\sheetsizes.def

for V8i I think is ...\Workspaces\System\Data\sheetsizes.def

I recommend you to review Customizing Sheet Sizes in the Sheetsizes.def file in MicroStation Help

also review this wiki: communities.bentley.com/.../16854.sheet-model-sizes-do-not-match-definition-file
