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,

  • HI Adam,

    There is not a variable for this, nor is there a Preference.

    There is a key-in you can use:

    REFERENCE ADJUSTCOLORS DIALOG 100,100,1,0,,0.000000

    Numbers are: Value, Saturation, Print Adjust Colors toggle, Fixed or Adjustment Factor, Fixed Hue toggle (it’s the empty field – two commas. Adding a 0 will turn on Fixed Hue), Transparency (the decimal number)

    Also:

    REFERENCE SET PRINTCOLORADJUSTMENT=<setting_spec> <file_spec>

    Where reference colors have been adjusted, sets whether the adjusted (1) or the original (0) colors print. Equivalent to the Print Adjusted Colors setting in the Adjust Colors dialog.

    Example with a wildcard to affect all references:

    REFERENCE SET PRINTCOLORADJUSTMENT=1 *



  • It's been a few years. But does anyone know if there is a way to set this to be enabled automatically by default on reference attach?

    Regards,

    Mark
