Hi there,
I'm trying to plot to JPEG format. We often use drawings in powerpoint presentations and I end up converting a PDF in photoshop to a JPEG - This is not fun. So, is it possible to print straight to JPEG rather than PDF?
I've tried loading the Workspace\system\plotdrv\jpeg.plt file but it says the printer configuration is invalid.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Matt,
IMO the printing solution is best to use when you want to get a JPEG from an existing layout or from a fence.
In many cases you might need more control. For presentations it might be desireable to have the JPEG created in MicroStation in the same resolution and aspect ratio as digital photographs. In this case you can create a JPEG on the fly from a View. You can easily do this using the menu command:
/Utilities/Image/Save
To take full control over the size and aspect ratio of the image you can configure your View using the menu command:
/Settings/Rendering/View Size
To create screenshots in MicroStation including toolboxes you can use the menu command
/Utilities/Image/Capture
