Apply a Print Style to a specific Drawing

The current version of MicroStation does not support this feature. We do have an outstanding Enhancement Request 49882 to add a print style property to a sheet model.

Hi.

It might be a dirty hack, but if you record a macro where you choose the correct print style from the print dialogue, you can assign these macros to specific print tools for each type of drawings.

If you have some distinct difference in the file properties for each type, you could use a Show/Hide Test to show only the correct print tool for that type of drawing. I have tested by setting file Subject to "Site Plan".

Example:

I recorded the macro into "Default" vba project.
The Show/Hide Test checks if the file subject is "SitePlan".
The file subject is set in_ File→Properties→Summary→Properties, but the Show/Hide test could be linked to virtually anything specific in your files.

File→Properties→Summary→Properties

I took a look at this I never noticed there was anything after  File→Properties...

How are these extras  like revision number etc created  or edited .. they seem to be imbedded in my seed file   but I cant seem to access any  of the settings to change it in the seed file itself .. mine is stuck with rev 7  for anything I make  new with  new and  use the (my ) seed file?

I have no idea how that property can be modified. I have really never used properties for anything other than for this example. We only use one print style here.
