Can't Add Files to pset: Print Organizer

Is there an error in the message center?
- Are you using a MicroStation in conjunction with a add-on product, such as GEOPAK?

- If an add-on product is installed, does the error still occur if the add-on is uninstalled?

- If the error occurs with a vanilla MicroStation, does it matter which workspace is used? Is the error reproducible using the default, non-customized untitled workspace?

- Does the problem only occur with certain design files, or with design files in certain locations?

No add ons (vanilla), same workspace as I always use, no error messages. I tried adding files from a different network location and they populated the list. I tried adding a different file from the same network location as that I am having issues with and it did not add.

I don't know why the network location should matter. I have read/write privileges to both locations that I tested.

Before adding files 1st via print organizer go to edit->preferences and turn off (uncheck) the "open design files in read only mode". Then try adding the files.

Thanks, but no joy - no files are added. If I need to I will move my project to the other network location, even though that is not where it's supposed to be.

I appreciate your time.

moving to new location did not work.

- No elements matching the automatic area search criteria were found
- 'PLT_Sheet_Border' is not a valid level for file 'F:\Wucommon\Surveying & Mapping\Facility Maps\Paterson Ops Center\CSM\Dgn\1-1350-CSM1_Sheet.dgn'

above status messages displayed during Add File routine, even though I am using *sheets* to define print area, as per default Print Style (same result if Print Style applied at Create Print Definition dialog). The PLT_Sheet_Border that it can't find is a leftover from the days of plotting from design model space with one dgn per plan sheet. I do not know why it insisted on searching for the border level.

Workaround: Add file. At Create Print Definition dialog Manually Specify that it is going to use a fence (even though it won't be). Make sure Reference is checked since border containing PLT_Sheet_Border elements is ref'd in. Files will now add properly. Apply print style that uses sheet boundaries to define print area.
