I have a file where a reference is clipped (using a fence but not rectangular). It appears fine on screen and when creating PDFs, but when I print to a printer or plotter, a hidden portion of the clipped reference is printing. Maybe my .pltcfg is incorrect somehow?
I've attached an image (clipping.jpg) with yellow highlight showing where the reference should be clipped. Another image showing how it should print (correct.jpg), a pltcfg file, and Sample.dgn
For now I can create a PDF then print, but I'd like to send directly to print obviously.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just got a call from a user experiencing the same problems and I haven't found that there has been any resolution. They have a dgn file with clipped reference attachments using a fence as the clip boundary. The clip displays correctly MicroStation, and when they print using the Print dialog. When they bring the file into Print Organizer and print the same file the reference is no longer clipped correctly. The same pltcfg file is being used for both. I had them set the User and Project workspace options in their Print Style to match the current MicroStation setting but that did not change the result. They are using PowerInRoads 08.11.09.674

I am having the same problem the only difference is my clipping is by element. Has this issue been resolved?
Damn, don't you wish people would post solutions!!

Bob, I am new to Microstation and if you have any suggestions of how i can solve this issue I would be very grateful.
Thank You
Would if I could, but I have no idea. My workflow always results in WYSIWYG. In other words, if the data appears clipped on the screen, but prints differently, I have no idea. I'm using Connect r12.
Hi,
What version are you using? In Mstn V8i SS4, I had that problem. I had to uninstall that version and reinstall Mstn V8i SS3. From what I understand Mstn V8i SS10 is based on SS4, with revisions to the licensing side of things. At the time that SS4 was released, it was stated that it was the very last version of V8i to ever be released. I filed a defect report, but since that point it looks like my Service Request was deleted. The "answer" that I got was that SS4 was the final release, so nothing was going to get fixed.
