I am a newbie. Received a drawing. Renamed the drawing and saved to a dedicated folder. I printed portions for the drawing and the entire drawing. Next I copied a portion of the drawing and pasted within the same drawing for modification. Now I cant print any portion the drawing. Why could I print before but not now?
2nd question
Why does the text cokes have to be changed to red or other colors before printing. Now the text is not black. The background is black so I can't change the text to black. Other text print great...why does the text color require changing before printing
I am an autocad user many years ago. New to microstion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
With out seeing your print dialog and print drivers its hard to guess, but I think your using a pentable just like in autocad that changes what is printed and how so in acad some colours are printed black with varying thicknesses or weights and line types, mstn can print what you see is what you get but pentables alter this also the level manager can have overrides and specify non print or print layers.. the first part of you post doesnt make sense to me... also you didnt mention which version of microstation your using as this effects how we answer your questions... screen snapshots are very helpful as well as a small sample of your drg dgn file
What is a Text Cokes maybe a language translation thing....How did you print portions what do you do and how ... do you mean cross sections are you using sheet models like in autocad or model space ????

We may be better able to help you if you supply a sample file in wich the problem occurs. Also mentioning what software and wich version you are using will increase the chance of a helpfull answer.
Regarding the 'black' or 'red' text... are you using the most Right Bottom color for black? If so, that is not a black color. That is the background color. And whatever that color is (you can specify it to be blue, red, black, you choose), it will turn up as white on your print. If you want to test this, put those texts on a opaque shape and see if they 'cut out' in background color.
If you want to print black, use color 0 (Left Top).

No-one is going to be able to help without seeing your settings and a sample dgn file that demonstrates the problem.
