Printing Scenario: Adding a file to print organizer that has multiple borders in one model of one file. (i.e. for this example, let's use 100 borders referenced into one model in one file.) When I add this file to Print Organizer, and select a Print Style, everything loads OK. It locates the borders, and adds one entry per border located in the file. When I print this file, it will print sheets 1 through 100, in order, with no duplicates.
The issue occurs if I make changes to any of the following settings in Print Organizer after the pset file is created: Bentley print driver, windows printer, or print style. This will result in Print Organizer printing sheet number 1, 100 times, instead of printing sheets 1 through 100. Depending on what has changed, Print Organizer may also override the scales and paper sizes.
This causes issues when multiple people are using the same pset file, and someone wishes to change the printer, etc. I do have a workaround (create a pset file for individual printers, PDF's, and styles, which isn't ideal because every pset will have to managed individually and opens the potential for someone to miss a sheet or two), however, I can't tell you how many calls I get about this problem and someone has just printed 100 of the same sheets to a printer!
I am running Microstation v8i SS2, this issue has been present in SS1 and v8i. I tried searching the message boards and didn't find anything, perhaps due to the weakness of the search engine... which is a topic for another day...
I'd greatly appreciate any input on this issue, thanks in advance!
