MicroStation Print Organizer

Recently upgraded to ProjectWise Explorer V8i SELECTseries 4. When I run Print Organizer in MicroStation V8i SS2  and try to add files to the
set, I get error "Unable to load file pw\\:..." every time. It seems the error message is a result of upgrading to PW Explorer v8i SS4. Print Organizer worked with PW Explorer v8i SS3.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tony Santiago

    Hi Tony,

    I had the same problem. In Print Organizer\Edit\Preferences tick Enable variable print definitions.

    Tony is running MicroStation V8i SS2. The option for variable print definitions was not added until MicroStation V8i SS3.

  • How the heck do you get this POS to work!!!!!!!

    If I turn on that setting, the files come in but I cannot see if anything is correct - all it tells me is that it used the plot style. Previews fail, which leads me to believe the plot area is totally hosed.

    If I toggle that setting off, I cannot add even one sheet.

    I had a sheet that would not add, but I could take a sheet that was already in the set and browse to one of the files that will not work, and it sees the sheet and once maximized, is good.

    If I could copy a working sheet  and then browse I could add sheets.

    I am going back to ss2 where this stuff works.

    Sorry if I seem angry, but I am.
