Reference clipped elements appearing in prints

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.

Maybe not so much an answer as it is a solution.  What seems to make this work relates to the element and reference being used to clip the reference.  In our case, we use a Cliprd01.dgn containing our clipping shape used for clipping a master motif file.  When that clipping shape reference is turned off, Print Organizer will completely disregard the clip and print everything beyond the boundary (as if no clip was used).  By keeping the clipping reference on and using Level Manager to toggle off plot column of the clip shape level, print organizer recognizes the clip.
