Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out. I am extremely new to Microstation with moderate CAD training on other software. I began a new job in a civil engineering firm and have set up my console to replicate the previous employee and I am having issues plotting files to get the same result as my coworkers on other consoles. I am getting nodes on my reference drawing that locate features that a surveyor took out in the field. The dots are being shown when plotted. I am on V8i (ver. 08.11.07.443) and my coworkers are using a MUCH older (pre2004 v8). When they open the same file in our network their nodes show up as squares and mine show up as points. I do not want these to plot. What steps can I take to prevent this?
I don't see these nodes in the drawing you attached. In your original post you stated they were in a reference file? Can you post parts of the reference file that contains the nodes?

This has been reported as a defect in V8I and will be fixed in the next major Microstation release. Potential workaround is drop the cell the point element is in then turn off points via the settings->print attributes on the print dialogue..

I have this problem too, but a workaround I do is I go into the print dialogue settings and click off "constructions" and the points do not print
Thank you rcook, I will give this a try.
just be careful though, any cells you have in the file which are also considered "constructions" will not print either
