When using bentley print to pdf drivers (pdf.pltcfg) if I click "Print to File" then nothing happens.
Using the windows drivers allows me to print without issue.
How can I fix this?
Kind regards,
Tom

Why are you clicking Print to File? When using .pltcfg just click the little Printer icon in the upper left corner (under the File menu item. This will open a browser asking where to save the file and to name the file.

I didn't realise that it made any difference which button I used, but even clicking the printer icon has the same effect, nothing happens.
Yes I am, trying with Area set to View doesn't let me print either.

It doesn't, its the same thing.
Is the lower left corner of you sheet file at 0,0 in the dgn file? I am not too familiar with setting up sheet files. The print dialog shows the Origin at 0,0. If the lower left corner of the sheet in the .dgn file then the plot driver ill not find any elements.
It would help to post your plot driver & a sample .dgn file. The .dgn file can just be the sheet file with some random elements within the border.
I honestly don't know if it does make a difference. I neve use the Print to File button. I always assumed that button was meant to be used with a driver set to a physical device, but you wanted to create a pdf or jpeg, etc. I guess I feel that is a legacy option carried forward from the days pre-pdf driver.
