Missing Raster References in PDF from Print Organizer (Ss3)

I have a set of Plan over Profile sheets that have Mr. Sid files attached. When I use the plot driver in MicroStation, the preview shows the raster files. When I use the driver in Print Organizer, neither the preview nor the output shows the raster files.

This same pset file worked a few days ago. This is maddening!

  • Hi Caddcop,

    Not sure what is going on with print organizer and raster, but it seems you are not the only one having problems.

    Here is another related thread (communities.bentley.com/.../90330.aspx).

    If you can send me some dataset I'll be glad to investigate further the problem.

    Thanks,

    Mathieu



  • Any movement on this? I'm having the same problem with PDF's.

  • Hi Caddcop,

    Unfortunately on my computer everything seems to work fine.

    I have talked with one of my colleague and he told me that this ``ìs not uncommon on big plots on low-memory machines for raster images to be missing tiles``,

    Though by what you are describing I'm not sure this is your problem.

    Could you send me a dataset?

    Thanks,

    Mathieu



  • Just one of these JP2 files is more than 50 megs. Do you really need my data?

    The other problem I am having is priorities. We work in a lot of 3D files but have 2D sheets. I can see my graphics and in my 3D file get the rasters to appear behind everything. But once I get to my sheet with this referenced in using live nesting, the update sequence is no longer honored.

    I even tried a 2D file with the rasters referenced into my 3D plan views but for some reason the rasters are always on top of the graphics.

    I even tried adding something to my pen table to set priorities but no joy.

    The only way I could get my graphics on top of my rasters was to enable transparency, rasterize and make their level transparent by 50%.

    I know, this should be a new thread...

  • Hi Caddcop,

    If your dataset allows us to reproduce the problem on our side then we could try to fix it or even suggest a workaround. Otherwise we can only make guesses..

    So if you could post a small dataset (one image is enough), including the .dgn, .pset, .ptlcfd and .tbl files it would help greatly.

    By the way, did you try with only one raster? Also did you try with iTiff files instead of .jpeg ones?

    Thanks,

    Mathieu



  • I can only try it with the files I have. I am in production with some tight deadlines, so my responses might be delayed.

    I also determined that when I do not use Rasterize, the following occur:

    • I can control the display order of my raster files vs vector files.
    • The irregular clip boundaries of my reference files are ignored for the raster files, instead they appear to use the smallest rectangular boundary they would encompass the clip boundary. All of the reference files (vector and raster) come from nesting to a single reference file, clipped by an element. However, the rectangular clip of the raster files behaved the same way when a fence was used to define the boundary.
    • Toggling on Rasterize removes the ability to control the display order of raster vs vector, but fixes the clipping issue.

    Again, these issues occur in PowerCivil for North America, Ss2 most current version.

    The missing raster files occur when I move to MicroStation Ss3. I have not tested this with any other Power products. Since the raster files do not plot, I cannot confirm any of these other issues.

    I am in SS3 08.11.09.536.

    I am trying to plot a TIFF from a pset.  It will plot as an individual file using MicroStation Printer; however, if I attempt to plot it using Print Organizer, the TIFF does not show up.
