can't use the printer driver configuration tool

I can't edit the print driver pdf.pltcfg file with the print driver configuration tool on Microstation Connect. I have tried to set it as the active one and edit it by going to File> edit print driver configuration tool on the printing window, but it makes it run a new Microstation window and after displays the message: Alert [] is not a recognized file format.

  • Your printer driver may be corrupted. Has this file been opened directly, in something like Notepad, in the past? I've had situations where I opened pltcfg files in Notepad and made changes that were not the correct syntax. Microstation's plot configuration editor was not able to open the driver at that point.

    As Bob mentions, get a clean copy and start over. You should be able to open yours with Notepad, but unless you know what was changed it may be hard to figure out how to fix it.
