Problem:
Plotting to Port LPT1 generates the following message:
LPT1 This file name is reserved for use by Windows. Choose another name and try again
Solution
The name „
LPT1
“is a reserved name for the name of a file in Windows (see
here
). You cannot use this name in a standard Windows
“Save Print as”
dialog box. Windows detects that this is a reserved keyword and rejects.
You can adress the LPT1 Port when you remove the checkmark in MicroStation
Workspace -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Use Windows File Open Dialogs
MicroStation Help
If on (the default), native Windows file selection dialogs are used instead of the product file open dialogs:
If you do not want to remove the checkmark in the Preferences
to adress the
LPT1
Port, you can change the style of the “
Save as print
” dialog box using the keyboard shortcut
<shift><esc>.
