Print Organizer Won't Print In Color

MS_PLT_ENGINE_CMDLINE_ARGS only seems to do anytihng if you are running MicroStation from a shortcut with a command line argument. The way I understand it, Print Organizer runs its own, parallel session of MicroStation with the current configuration, but any command line arguments are not loaded, which can cause  resource files end up missed. If you aren't running from custom shortcuts, it may not do anytihng. If you ARE running from custom icons, then that variable should be set with the same argument used in the shortcut.

Try running the keyin "delete unused linestyles". If there are any line styles that are part of the actual file with the same name as one in a line style library it can change the appearance of a line style. 

oh, like with the plotting in color, the same pen table and pltcfg files are being used in both printing environments, best as I can tell. I will verify.

thank you. I will look at that. that screen capture was from a working machine, though - we are trying to use the exact same print style file from the machine that works, and the one that doesn't. maybe the other is *not* using !Water.

Copying the ucf from a working machine to the new install didn't work. in fact ...

setting MS_PLT_ENGINE_CMDLINE_ARGS and MS_SYMBRSC to networked standards files changed the erroneous line from the (bad) custom linestyle to linestyle 0. copying the entire ucf changed it back to plotting the wrong custom line.

I'm sure it is something simple, just wish I knew what.

It should not default to anything unless there is some sort of configuration variable is able to control that. I would just switch the Workspace drop down to be blank and try printing. If the issue still persists then you need to check if a pen table is being loaded or if a different .pltcfg file is the cause.
