[v8i ss2] Arrow heads not plotting as black items

Question

When I plot files, arrowheads are not black as they are when other people in the office print (even the same file). I am using the same pentable as the rest of the crew, the only difference being that I am on v8I ss2 and the rest of the members are using an archaic version (v8 2004) and do not seem to have any issues. What would be a fix (or cause) of this issue?

The BLACK section is causing the issue, you can turn "Fill color:" to black but that will cause other issues. Create a new section above BLACK. in this section enable "Dimension" under "Class:" and Check "Color & Fill color" and set to black under "Element Output Actions". I tested the pen table attached here in MicroStation V8 2004 and MicroStation SS2.

Are the arrow heads par of a dimension? If so, let me suggest you try checking "Explode dimensions" under "Pen Table Options..." when modifying the Pen Table in SS2.
