Is it possible to change the display style of a file in Print Organizer to ensure it is wireframe at print time? We want to see visible edges in some files and use a display style set that way. When printing an individual file I can add a command line to the stream of print commands that will change it, but I can't see a way to do this using Print Organizer.
Thanks for any help,
Stephanie
I don't know about doing this in PO but, you could have a second view in Microstation set to Wireframe and have PO use that view instead of the view set with Visible Edges.
Microstation CONNECT 10.17.00.209
ORD CONNECT 2021 R1 10.10.1.3
Microstation v8i SS 10 08.11.09.919
Power InRoads v8i 08.11.09.615
ProjectWise 10.0.3.453
There is nothing in a Print Style that will allow you to control the Display Style being used. Maybe you can use your command line string along with the Print Organizer key-ins to create a print definition and subsequently your plot.

In the case of Printing (not with Organizer) I could pre-pend a command to change the view to wireframe, but I'd like to be able to set the view back after printing. If it could be done, I can see where it would require 2 tasks, neither of which I'm well versed. First, I'd need to check (and save) the ActiveView.DisplayStyleName, to see if it is WireFrame. I think that could be done using named expressions, but I couldn't find enough documentation or the right examples to explain how to do that. The other part is how to follow up a print command with a command to set the DisplayStyle back to what it was before opening the print window. I thought I might be able to use the Print Driver Configuration File's post-print Program Command to do this, but that only appears to run programs/commands outside of MicroStation, so I'm not sure how to accomplish this either.
Any ideas, anyone?
