Scale Reset While Printing

I'm new to Microstation v8 because I moved from v7 very recently.

I have a problem with scaling the output while printing.

In the printing dialog window

1. I choose Windows Driver

2. Set the scale of the print output

3. Click on File -> Print...

4. The printer dialog window opens

5. Then I click "Print" -> THE SCALE IS RESETED TO "MAXIMIZE" THE PRINT OUTPUT

 I assume that there is some configuration variable to set to keep the scale while printing. Can anybody help me to fix it?

  • Can you detail every single step and  leave nothing  out? also a copy  of the  drg your trying  to print   or at  least some screen captures... you see  we cannot determine what  it  is your doing that  is  different  if you don't tell us all the steps... don't assume that everyone does things the exact same  way you do... I  have seen peaple  just  hit the  print  icon and compain why  it prints the  way it does...

    We kneed to know  if your just  view printing, printing from a  border  boundary element, a fence, a sheet view, model view etc ..

    Screen prints  of every stage  is great so we see what you see befire and after actions...

    You can capture the ustn screens  or  open dialogs  via ALT printscreen buttons and  paste into  ms paint and  either crop  or not and save as  jpg for  posting here... this will help greatly in working out what to do  to help you....
