Border On = True not being honored after restarting MicroStation

Scott Harmon

I'm printing some variables as a commend in the print border. When I turn on the print border in my plot config file (.pltcfg or .plt, both fail), the check box next to "Print border" in the Plot dialog's Print Attributes settings dialog does not stay checked if I close (or exit) and re-open MicroStation. I have to do a "Reload Print Driver Configuration", re-browse for the print driver or go into Print Attributes and turn on "Print border" to get the border (comment) to print. Shouldn't this always be check "on" if it is in the .plt or .pltcfg?

Has anyone else experienced this or know what I can do to fix it?

windows_printer.plt:

border /text_height=0.25 /nooutline /pen=130 /model /time /comment=("${username} - ${_dgnfile} - Scale=${MS_PLTSCALE_SHORT}")

windows_printer.pltcfg:

upon re-entering MicroStation the check box is not "on".

    Hi Todd,

    You are correct that there was a default Print Style being applied. I didn't realize that the plot dialog applied print styles. You have to go to Print Organizer to create them though, right? Shouldn't there be a "None" and/or "default" option in the plot dialog Settings»"Apply Print Style"?

    Looking a little further into plot styles I was confused. Seems odd that you have to select a plotter configuration file and a print style is applied. The odd part here is that the Print Style also can define a printer configuration file. (I assume that it is only used in Print Organizer).

    Kind Regards,
