We are having an issue with our line weights when we plot to PDF. When we plot to the printer, all of the line weights look exactly the way we want them. The problem occurs when we plot to PDF. Line weights get larger or smaller, but only for certain…

I've been experimenting with V8i recently and have created a 3D model of an electricity Substation. From this I have created the various sections as Saved Views using place fitted section. The Saved Views were then used to create new sheets to further…

We are currently moving from ustn 2004 to SS2 and I'm in the process of creating new plt config files for our printers/plotters. I have every printer working perfectly but I've got an old HP 755CM color plotter that I'm having a problem with. I used…

I am using V8i and am using a ,pltcfg that will generate levels in the PDF file that can be turned on-off. I am getting sporatic output results. About 20% of the time. I get a pdf that does not contain all the levels that were displayed…

Hello all. We have begun having issues with newly created user accounts. When we add a new user to to ProjectWise ( SS3 - 09.11.09.109 ) they are unable to print to PDF files within MicroStation V8i ( SS2 - 08.11.07.443 ). The "save as" dialog which…

When working with model spaces within a DGN file, our presentation files have several model spaces that make up various stages of our presentations. Is there anyway to have a tag of some sort printed somewhere within the printed copy that places which…

V8i: I might have missed this in previous threads and no reference in help, but... Default Print File Name has as a std. entry "$(MS_PLTFILES)$(basename(_DGNFILE))-$(MS_PLTMODELNAME)-<autoInc?digits=3?base=0> and this allows a pdf filename…

Hi experts, Anyone can tell me how to print by selecting an object or area instead of using the fence command? For example I created a square that covers my drawings and I want to print the drawings inside that square. Instead of using the fence…

In V8i the View Display Style for Hidden Line assigns a global line weight overriding the element's line weight. In XM, the View Display Mode for Hidden Line preserved the line weights. I understand the logic in the View Display Style, but is there a…

Hi Everyone, We are trying to print .plt files containing a couple of attached dgn files as pdf size A0, using a fence to define the area. There are area cell patterns and hatches in the drawings. When we print using the pdf printer it…

I would like to see the current editor able to operate on multiple files. I a field did not have the same definition it could be grayed out. Any field changed would be set in all edited pltcgf files. Another approach would be inheritable settings which…

In the define print styles dialog for the print ogranizer, it doesn't appear you can select a plot driver from ProjectWise? Clicking the browse button only goes to your typical windows dialog. Oddly enough, when selecting a pen table, you can navigate…

SS2 - 08.11.07.443 When I print to pdf (using the standard microstation pdf plot driver), the colors change when transparency is turned on, even lines and objects that have no transparency settings on them. I've tried adjusting all of the driver settings…

I am having some trouble plotting some sheets with the Print Organizer. There is one linestyle that won't plot right. It comes out as a straight line. It doesn't make sense to me because it is stored in the same .rsc file as all the other linestyles that…

Is there a way to not have the pdf.pltcfg not rasterize OLE objects? Attached excel files look terrible when they are rasterized unless the DPI is set much higher that should be needed for a good print. I know I can use a regular printer.pltcfg set…

I'm missing options in the print dialog, general settings, area. Right now I can only see. - View - Fence -Sheet But in XM we also had: - Fit all (wich we really miss) - Fit Master As we havn't used Sheet Boundrys this now…

Is there a way to get the view number into the output file name?

I'm trying to create a pen table with multiple level regular expressions in the Element Search Criteria for an individual section. Putting in a single expression works just fine, but when I add a second the entire level expression is ignored. For example…

We utilize custom line styles in our workspace i.e. a "w" inserted in a line for waterline. When we print this sheet using the standard print option and our pdf plt driver, it shows up correctly. I am new to Print Organizer so hang in there with me. I…

The fence is in a reference that is NESTED 1 level deep. How can I get Print Organizer to find this shape? It's acting like it doesn't see the shape and is instead using the view to define the print window. Thanks! EDIT: I thought I'd…

Hello We have standard printer driver configurations, which are stored on the server so everyone can use the same config. Tehre is an option in the print dialog settings where you can set the print attributes (such as printing data fields or not…
