batch print v8i drawings from excel using macro

I've been trying to find a discussion topic or tutorial explaining this step by step.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish:

1. create an excel spreadsheet that has a list of .dgn files for a project

2. use an excel macro to find these drawings, and open them

3. batch print these .dgn files to .pdf and/or plotter using a push button on the spreadsheet

 

Anyone have any suggestions, references?

 

Thanks!

  • Since V8i has the print organizer which does a similar task, why not use it.

    Why not use MicroStation's built-in tools, such as Print Organiser?

  • it would be nice to have a way of importing a text file that contained a list of drawings into the paint organizer. Currently, we use an Excel spreadsheet to log our drawings and title block information. and for the more help regarding printer go to the https://babasupport.org/printer/nipson-printers-customer-service/633 to get the help.
