So this issue just recently started occurring and I have tried many different thing to try and remedy it. If I print from the normal print dialog I get a perfect print, but when I setup the exact same print for 20+ documents then I end up with no rasters in my .pdf's. It is very frustrating because the alternative is extremely time consuming to do printing them one at a time to individual files and then combining them.
I am printing with print organizer having it find shapes by layer for the fence for each sheet each sheet and in the advanced pane I have print raster images checked. I also validated that the print option is selected of each image in the raster manager.
Any idea?
Thanks, Matt
I can post my .pset file or some pictures if that would help
Todd,
I have also confirmed that if we uninstall Descartes and leave the Inroads Command line switch intact print organizer will print the raster's.
Is this a Descartes problem or an Inroads problem?
I was under the impression that MicroStation was the base Platform for Bentley products.
Perhaps what Bentley needs is a support category for product Integration.
When Print Organizer prints, it starts a separate 'ustation.exe' in the background (non-graphics) to process the plot. There appears to be a problem with some applications not functioning correctly in this context. I suggest posting to the application’s (Inroads) forum or using the application’s support channels.
I too have the save issue. (MS 08.11.09.459, Desc. 08.11.09.432, Inr. 08.11.07.615)
my raster's will not print or show in the print preview when using Print Organizer.
Yes, I have Inroads and Descartes installed (because I do need to use both).
I also have the command line switch in my MicroStation Icon to load the Inroads Application menu in MicroStation.
When I remove the command line switch, the raster will display in the Print Preview.
While this seems to be the temporary fix, it is also a an inconvenience, when can we expect a real fix??
Update: This specific problem occurs when Inroads and Descartes are both installed on the same machine. The raster will not plot in Print Organizer. TR 38603 has been filed. As a workaround for now, you can remove dcartes.cfg from the ..\config\appl folder or use the Print dialog to plot.
I am investigating this and will post an update. Thanks Matt
