Bentley Driver trying to output a DGN instead of a PDF.

I'm using Microstation V8i ss3 and when printing to pdf with the Bentley Driver it attempts to create a dgn instead. It will result in an error and fail to output if the file name is not changed (file already exists). Most of the time the print output is a pdf as expected. It creates only creates dgn file occasionally. If the file name is unique and it creates a dgn and I delete that dgn, then often the next try will result in a pdf. Otherwise I have to rename the output file.


Any help would be appreciated.

  • Alex,
    Are you using the PDF.pltcfg as it was delivered or has it been modified? Have you modified the "Filename" in the PDF.pltcfg (originally set to)
    $(MS_PLTFILES)$(basename(_DGNFILE))-$(MS_PLTMODELNAME)-<autoInc?digits=3?base=0>

    Does this issue happen with one or two files or any file?

    When it creates the DGN file can you open that file with MicroStation? If you change the extension to PDF can you open it with Adobe Acrobat?

    I do not believe I have heard of this particular issue before.
    Thanks,
    Van
