Using MicroStation v8i, I am setting MS_PLOTDLG_DEF_PENTABLE = dawn.tbl. I open the Print dialog and see the pen table attached as expected. Idetach the pen table. Leave the Print dialog open and change files. The pen table gets reattached. In MicroStation v8 XM, if you do thesame thing, the pen table remains detached as you switch from file tofile. Was this a change in behavior or a bug?Problem 38906
Whenever you switch design files with the Print dialog open, we have todelete the current print definition and create a new one from scratch. The MS_PLOTDLG_DEF_PENTABLE variable is intended to be honored wheneverthe print definition is created from the Print dialog. It shouldn'tmatter if you're opening the Print dialog for the first time with thenew design file, or loading the new design file with the Print dialogalready open. The resulting print definition should be the same in bothcases. MS_PLOTDLG_DEF_PENTABLE defines a default pen table that isloaded when you open the Print dialog box.
