I am trying to use level overrides on a reference file to get it to plot correctly. There are linestyles in the reference that are at the wrong scale, and the wrong lineweight, so I am trying to use overrides to correct both of those. Both the scale and weight overrides appear correctly on my screen. The problem, however, is that the lineweight override does not plot. The scale override plots correctly, but the lineweight does not. Can someone walk me through how to fix this? I am using IPlot on microstation V8i (SS10) version 08.11.09.916. I have attached a simple file to show what i am talking about. There are 3 pictures in the file. The first pic is a microstation screenshot of 3 lines as they show up in the reference. The second pic is a microstation screenshot of the 3 lines with scale and weight overrides turned on. The third pic is a plot showing how the scale override plotted correctly but the weight override did not.

Eric,
This is a long shot, but if you check the reference file presentation is VIEW FLAGS turned on?I have had occasional problems when this was set - I would see the lneweights in the reference file, but they would not plot.To get it to work I had to turn off view flags and redo the weight symbology.

I do have the view flags turned on. That is the only way I could get the scale override to plot correctly. When I turn the view flags off, then neither the scale nor weight override will plot
no the weight overrides do not plot. Just the scale overrides. Both show up fine on the screen. I am not sure how to detach the pentable or design script. I've never really had to do anything with them before. Is that something I should try next?
Go to FILE > PRINT\PLOT to get to the MicroStation plot dialog , in the Plot Dialog go to FILE > SELECT BENTLEY DRIVER, then browse to . C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\System\pltcfg and select pdf.pltcfg. Plot to PDF and see if you get weights.
in your control p > choose your printer then in
printer settings> print attributes> is line weight enabled and overrides enabled here is snippet of mine

Thanks for the response, but I have no trouble getting the lineweight overrides to show correctly when I print the file. I can't get it to work using Iplot
you need to look up the wiki on iplot and how it works and what you need to edit... I haven't used iplot since intergraph days so cant help but there should be a iplot specialist user here or at Bentley select support
