Hi
This is an very nice plot/print help to get the right scale to your plot/print and see how the print area is overlapping your design.

Can someone change this to Connect edition ?

The best effort from bentley to create an really good print workflow was in Bentley Map 2004 edition, it was the print preparation function in Bentley Map, the only thing that didn´t work was the coordinate cross placement from design model coordinates in sheet model. The rest of the print preparation functions was 9/10 points.
Here is an old thread where I had an question about print preparation and how it would be possible to "break" the printprep.ma out from the Bentley Map and use it with vanilla microstation. (it worked but I didn´t get all the variables to find all parts needed within print preparation because the variables was within Bentley map and not specific for the printprep.ma.

Did even find an older thread where The plotmanager source code was attached, videos how it works is in swf format and windows 10 do not support swf files even when open within internet explorer, so if you know how to convert swf video files to something that works now, plese let me know how to do that.

if you plan on taking advantage of some of the Bentley functions, they are working with sheet files and the print function recognizes the sheet border (no need to place a shape or a fence)
but this is a whole different workflow.....
