RE: Print Organizer Plotting Levels That Are turned Off

Thanks. Will re-loading the pset do the same thing? The whole idea, in my mind, of creating a plot set with pset is so that if there is a minor revision it’s easy to plot a new set of sheets. If someone has to update the pset I am going to lose users in trying to get them onboard.

  • In print organizer select the dgn file in the pset file and right click on that file or and go to the advance tab. In this menu click on the (update from design file)

  • The main purpose of PSET is so the settings stay the same and you get the same output each time.  If you create the pset and then turn levels on or even attach references, you have to update the pset.  It is a snap shot in time of how your files look and what you want to accomplish when you plot.  Subsequent changes in settings (levels on/off, references attached/detached/moved/clip boundary/on/off, color tables, ...) need to be updated.  Just adding, deleting elements doesn't require an update.

  • I created the pset to save _plot_ settings, not drawing edits, so that I don’t have to go through the selection process each time. As long as I reload my Print Organizer file before I plot all of my latest edits are reflected.
     
    I don’t know how I could have had levels on a nested reference that had its display turned off in the parent reference file plotting, but whatever. It’s been behaving since. I think it is key to reload the .pset each time.
