Apply Print Style very Slooooooooooow !

Hi all,

When I choose "Settings > Apply Print Style" from the Print Dialog and change to another Print Style it takes ok not 5 min., but 4 min and 59 seconds to apply.  What could be the problem?  This is just too long. (V8i SS2)

TIA Mike

  • Mike,

    I take it you are applying the print style via regular printing through USTN not PO. Where are your print styles stored Network location or locally? Do you have pen tables defined in your plot driver and where are they stored? Is the any pre-processing funtions in the pen tables? Can you apply the print styles in PO w/out the wait.

  • Well, I just tested and it only took 30 sec to apply the same print style in PO.  Printstyles, and pen table are stored on network.  Pentable pretty simple just sets 3 colors to screening (not much in these files to screen).

  • Hmmm... I normally do not load print styles in regular plotting but just as a test I opened up several of my files, some simple some with rasters attached, and applied print styles. Everything loaded instantly. I don't know what would be causing the issue.

    Sorry, no help maybe someone from Bentley will look at this. You can always file a service ticket.

  • Unfortunately I can not open a ticket. Our IT/CAD is not really interested in any CAD problems, we are not high enough on the org chart. Thanks for your input, will just work around again.
