Printing transparant references with MicroStation Connect

I’m not aware of a way to force “Print Adjusted Colors” on by default. The setting not effecting Transparency in V8i is actually a defect that is fixed in CONNECT Edition.

Using a pen table to apply transparency to the reference files is an alternative solution.

Thanks Todd !

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.

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.
