Printing transparant references with MicroStation Connect

Setting a reference transparant works just fine on the screen, but when I try to print a drawing with a transparant reference this isn't working.

I have the 'Rasterized' checkbox highlighted.

In V8i Series 3 this worked without much trouble. All we had to do was highlight the 'Rasterized' checkbox. But when we updated to Connect this wasn't working anymore.

Anyone has a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance,

  • I’m not able to reproduce this symptom with a simple test case. Confirm Transparency is enabled in the Print Dialog > Settings > Print Attributes. Also, if you are defining a Transparency value in References > Properties > Adjust Colors, make sure “Print Adjusted Colors” is enabled.

    I’ve enabled the ‘Print adjusted colors’ checkbox & it did the job!

    However, this has to be enabled manualy for every reference I attach. Because we use about 20 transparant references for every drawing we make (& every one in a different transparancy), it would be great if there was a standard setting for it.

    In our previous version (V8i Series 3) it apparanty was some sort of standard setting, because the ‘Print adjusted colors’ wasn’t enabled either.

    So, if someone knows a standard setting for this would be appriciated!!

    Thanks in advance.
