So, I am fairly new to MicroStation, but I am getting the hang of it, however, I do have one serious snag. I cannot seem to get the print organizer to do what I am trying to do.
I have been all over the forum, have Googled for tips, have played around with it endlessly, and have even asked a couple guys in the office, but to no avail.
So here's the situation: I am trying to re-make a book to use as a physical index for all of my cell libraries. The format that I would like to use is the 2x4 grid that Cell Utilities creates, because it looks nice, it has all the info I need, and it generates nicely. That part isn't the problem. Now I need to print all of it.
I did manage to print it fine by fencing off each page one at a time. This, unfortunately will not work for me though, as some of my cell libraries contain hundreds of pages of cells.
I imagine that there is a way to do it in Print Organizer, but unfortunately I am not well versed enough in it to figure out how. I tried playing with shapes and levels in fence creation for a new print style, but I ended up only getting it to select 1 page...
Is there anyone out there who has done what I am trying to do?
To add to what Frank mentions, you might want to take a look at what Utilities > HTML Author has to offer. More information on this utility can be found in Help > Contents under Menu > Utilities Menu > HTML Author.
@Frank_Klein - Thanks, but I guess print organizer was just the first tool I got to for it. I'm not very familiar with HTML author, and don't know what it can do, but I already know that I like the layout that Cell Utilities makes.
@RodWing - Thank you very much! You called it, I had it only set to select the first one. After I changed that one little radio button, it worked perfectly! Too bad I never came across that thread when I was searching :/
Thanks to both of you for your help and quick responses!
Take a look at this thread:

Verify you are selecting the "Create on print definition for each matching shape" option

To whom it may concern,
Why not using HTML author?
How are you setting your sheet models for print?
