Print Size Error

Using Print Organizer, when attempting to add a particular file, the following message appears.

I have defined Print Styles that searches a reference file to apply a fence shape according to color and weight of the shape. Issue is specific to this one particular design file. 

Anybody have any ideas?

Microstation V8i (Select Series 2) - Version 08.11.07.443

Thanks,

Terry

  • What is different about that file? Are there duplicate elements, or is it looking at a different reference file?

    While I suspect there's something different going on with that one file I have, on occasion, run into files that just don't want to print. On those occasions I usually just have to save off the bad file and recreate it.

  • I have removed the few duplicate elements contained in the file. Tried to batch print again and still same issue. All the files I am printing has the same reference file attached that holds the border sheet shape file that Print Organizer searches for. I failed to mention that I also have the following message appear as well....

  • OK, I've never seen THAT before... :-O
    And it's only one file?

    (Assuming you've exited MicroStation and reopened it) Does the file print correctly if you place the fence manually and use the regular Print dialog?

    I think that file just may have bad data in it. I can't say why that might be or how it happens. But I have seen files every once in a rare while that just will not print with Print Organizer. At that point, my workaround has been to either stick a blank placeholder into my PSET so that I can print that one file individually, or to recreate the file from a clean seed file. I can usually reference the bad file into the new file and copy anything I need out of it without bringing over whatever was bad.

    If you can, file a Service Ticket with Bentley Support and send them this file (and supporting files). They may be able to find what the problem is and maybe even fix it.

  • I recreated the file and had no problems printing. There must be something in the file that is corrupt. This happens from time to time so I really want to figure out what is causing this. I will file a Service Ticket.

    Thank you for all your help.

  • You're welcome.

    If they can figure it out what the problem is with your file, let us know. It doesn't happen often here, but it does happen, and I'd love a better idea of what could be causing the issue.
