print does not recognize sheet

Please advise on the Product / version being used to help others answer your query,

That said I suspect that the issue relates to the Sheet Models Custom Size specifically the 'Width having a Negative value of -600. Assuming this is only affecting Sheet Models having negative values.

very strange, the X-and Y-values must be  positive numbers,
every "integer" can be positive or negative
why should the negative value give an internal error?

good to know, but this can rather be fixed

btw (my product: OBD u9.2 =  Open Building Designer update 9.2)

Because paper size is a number based on the size of the paper measured from the bottom left corner to the top right corner, always measured in the positive direction.

Yes, integers can technically be positive or negative, but certain measurement types follow specfic parameters and standards. There is no "negative width".

Thanks for the detailed info,

but it should be better to give a clear error while filling the negative value,
now nothing is telling what is wrong, and the sheet is grayed out
this is not "fool prove"

on bigger sheets the "header" is always placed on the right bottom corner.
if  this header is filled in, ore the sheet is duplicated,  the height and width can be adapted while this header stays on place.
now every thing has to move

having a negative value for the sheet does not say the paper should be negative,
it only says the sheet is measured from the origin to the left
this reduces some unnecessary handling

You definitely have a point!

An error message might be helpful. Or some way to tell MicroStation to define from right-to-left. Or to mention this point in the Help somewhere. I don't know if this is strictly a MicroStation convention, or a Windows convention.

Good luck!
