Printing and Pen Tables

Over the years, I've tailored several different pen tables for use with Iplot for the different projects I work on.

 I recently just switched employers and my new employer does not use Iplot but rather prints directly from within Microstation.  Will the Iplot pen tables work within the Microstation print utility?  I've been trying and can't seem to get it to work so I'm afraid the answer might be no. 

 Thanks.

 

  • You are correct in that InterPlot Pen Tables (Design Scripts) won't currently work with MicroStation. We are in the process of an ongoing effort to migrate key functionality to MicroStation's new Print Organizer utility that was introduced in V8i. However, it will be next year or so before functionality, like Design Scripts, will make it into that migration.

  • You should be  able to build  ustn pen tables  that  simulate what you were doing  with iplot  provided you  understand  what  the iplots  were doing...take a  look at the  help  printing guide bothe the syntax  and  pentables..sections...
