 I have been using microStation V8i since august of 2010 and have conformed to the typical usage of my office. I am not key on the way we go about printing pages because it takes more time then it should.

&lt;p&gt;I leave &amp;quot;Master&amp;quot; &amp;amp; &amp;quot;Reference&amp;quot; both checked (even if the shape is only in the reference) and do not fill out rererence names; I only fill the &amp;quot;Level&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;LineStyle&amp;quot; &amp;amp; &amp;quot;LineWeight&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Printing help</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/155164?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Dec 2010 13:17:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:93a79d44-048d-476d-b596-233716a3a8ff</guid><dc:creator>Barry Lothian</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Tom,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t merge the border in and leave both boxes ticked, it shouldn&amp;#39;t make any difference as long as the attributes for your shape are unique compared to the other data in reference attachment. If you have many instances of border&amp;#39;s being referenced in, then select create one print definition for each matching shape. Set the remaining print settings and you should find the print organiser populates with each instance of the shape around each border.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Printing help</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/155131?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Dec 2010 21:46:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:232f2931-6fbf-4f22-849c-bba36fa91a4b</guid><dc:creator>Thomas Moore</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This is similar to what how we were doing it in each file, we have a shape property set up but it is in the reference file. When I tried it how you suggested I still could not get it. After I add the file to create a print definition, I select manually specified options, it opens to Fence tab, clicked define from shape, I then put in the level and attributes, under search on the left i unclick master model because the Border level is in the reference file, it then prompts me to enter references? also Create one print definition form first or each shape? i then went to Main tab, changed print area to fence and other options like paper size...etc. once I have done this, it searches, fines a model in Layout1 and my print area changes to view, not fence. do I need to merge my referenced border file into the master?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Printing help</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/155053?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Dec 2010 03:49:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:5a987bde-983a-4236-9b2f-d239db9d5ebf</guid><dc:creator>Roy Gallier</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;If each of your borders have a block shape to represent the fence, then yes it is possible. You would set Print Organizer to find these shapes and use them as fences for the plot. The shapes should be ordered (front - back )in the file such that the order found in the file would represent the plotting order. I have created printers with only one paper/form size each defined in the pltcfg; this is to allow selection of paper size and printer with one selection. I have my pltcfg files set to maximize the print area to the full page/form size; this will automatically set my plot scale for every sheet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
