Andrew Edge:Are you running ustation.exe with customized command-line arguments, or using another technique to run MicroStation in a non-standard manner?
Andrew, has there been any progress in fixing these issues,
We would like to move forward with V8i, but until these issues are resolved we will most likely have to shelf V8i.
It's not clear what issues you are referring to.
GEOPak has addressed their issues running in non-graphics mode. For more information on that, you should talk to GeoPAK support.
Print Organizer will support custom ustation.exe command-line arguments in the upcoming SELECT release.
Andrew,
All of the issues,
I am currently dealing with plotting issues in XM, these issues also involve custom linestyles, and fonts that do not plot or display correctly. I have contacted support with these issues and I was told that they would be addressed in V8i. These issues have sometimes caused me to fall back to V8 in order to plot a project correctly.
Reading this thread, It appears that we have even more issues with Print Organizer because it is not using our Project workspace resources.
If print Organizer is going to be the replacement for batch plot, One would assume that it would work as well if not better than batch plot.and that it would utilize our project workspaces the way batch plot does. in addition we rely on Inroads and Geopak along with several other Bentley programs to meet our deadlines, therefore these issues can impact any upgrades that we can make to V8i.

Any of these issues fixed in the SS1 release?
Workspace resources not recognized when using Command line switch,
Font display, some Microstation fonts appear broken when plotted.
Custom Line styles not printing correctly when line segments are changed to complex chain.
Do you happen to have the trouble report (TR) numbers? I could give you more accurate status if you happen to have the number. Otherwise, I am familiar with fixes that we made in the first two areas you mention. I am not familiar with the third issue. If you don't have the TR number, please download MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 1) and confirm it with one of your files.
Hi Jeff,
The TR for the Font issue is 8000493285, this issue goes back as far XM.
My TR for the Linestyle issue was related to and older TR192355, (Support via Larry Abla)
I did not file a TR for the workspace isssue since it was discovered by others here in this post.
I am currently waiting for the SS1 release of Inroads before I install the SS1 release of Microstation.
Geopak will still open and Print Organizer will work on the same machine.
