Printing custom line styles with Print Organizer

We utilize custom line styles in our workspace i.e. a "w" inserted in a line for waterline. When we print this sheet using the standard print option and our pdf plt driver, it shows up correctly. I am new to Print Organizer so hang in there with me. I have put our pdf plt driver as the Printer driver configuration file. I don't know if this is correct or not. The bottom line is I am not able to see our custom line style when I use the Print Organizer. Any help would be most appreciated.
  • Jason, 

    I don't know if this will resolve the issue or not, but you may want to try this if you haven't already.   Open MicroStation with the workspace you are wanting to use.  Then from that MicroStation session, open up Print Organizer and try printing your file.  (Although Print Organizer allows different print definitions to use different workspaces, there is currently a problem with that feature that I believe is addressed in the next Select update, i.e. you will be able to have different workspaces associated with different print definitions inside of Print Organizer.)  

    If this doesn't allow you to get what you want, and nobody else provides a solution, you want want to log a Service Ticket with the Plotting Technical Support Group so additional troubleshooting can be done.

  • Are you running ustation.exe with customized command-line arguments, or using another technique to run MicroStation in a non-standard manner?

  • I have tried this method a couple of different times, with no results.

    Can you explain this in further detail? In customized do you mean a customized project config etc? We are running custom configs.
  • Examine how you invoke ustation.exe.  This could be from a custom shortcut on your desktop, a modified shortcut under the Start menu, a script file, or some other technique.  Some site administrators modify the command-line arguments of ustation.exe to specify a different workspace root or a non-standard mslocal.cfg.  Print Organizer in 8.11.5 does not support that type of customization; it will be added in the upcoming SELECT release.
     
    Print Organizer in 8.11.5 does support custom project & user workspaces, as long as they are located in the default locations.
     
    It would also be helpful to know if the custom line styles show up correctly in Print Organizer preview (versus the PDF you created from Print Organizer).
