What is the different between .PLTCFG and .PLT?
I have been having problem plotting files in png, wmf, tiff, formats "Printer driver configuration file..... is not valid" "Raster compression value can not be 8, or 18, or 28 depending on print output format.
So which driver are you currently experiencing this issue? Is this driver plotting directly to a printer or is it to create a pdf? If this is a modified driver, have you tried with an unmodified driver to see if you still have the problem?

They do the same thing, the biggest difference is that one can be edited in Notepad (.plt) and the other (.pltcfg) is in XML format for which Bentley provides a UI to modify. The .plt is subject to operator errors and to syntax issues. The .pltcfg is much user friendly to modify. The Help file provides information for what the records are in .plt and the equivalent property in a .pltcfg. Bentley Bentley also provides for you to convert your .plt to .pltcfg.

In V8i, the png.plt became obsolete. The wmf.plt became part of printer.pltcfg and the tiff.plt was rewritten in the last version of MicroStation XM now called tiff.pltcfg. The new TIFFDRIVER generates output one scanline at a time, rather than storing the entire plot in memory as LORIP did.
Is XM the latest version?
All original, png.plt, wmf.plt, and tiff.plt.
Ed Yepes answer below has helped.
Thanks
No, XM is old. Microstation Connect Edition is the latest. I believe they are on Connect Update 7 currently. Looks like your version is in the v8i edition.
