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.
Go to <File <Setting <Configuration <Configuration Variables. In the list in the right pane locate the variable MS_PLTFILE_EDITOR. It should be undefined.
We need to verify this variable before we go any further.
Also, can you post your pdf.pltcfg to see if we are able to open it with Microstation's editor on our pc?
Microstation CONNECT 10.17.00.209
ORD CONNECT 2021 R1 10.10.1.3
Microstation v8i SS 10 08.11.09.919
Power InRoads v8i 08.11.09.615
ProjectWise 10.0.3.453
Thanks, it helped me much. The MS_PLTFILE_EDITOR was defined "Microstation". I changed it to "Builtin" and now when I go to File> edit print driver configuration tool on the printing window it opens the selected one with the configuration tool.
However, I can't save the system configuration because it's asking me for administrator permission as my computer is managed by the company. Does it mean that I have to edit it every time I run Microstation?
Here you can find my pdf.pltcfg in case you still want to inspect it.
8420.pdf.pltcfg
You should have you Microstation Manager edit that variable at a higher level so all users are set correctly. Currently you would need to edit that variable every time because when you change it it is only taking affect in your personal user configuration file.
Thanks, I will definitely do it
