    Print Accounting Variables
     

    When you create a print, certain variables are set for each print. Using the values of these printing variables, a macro can be written that writes to a log file, recording the values of these variables. This information can be used for accounting purposes.

    For a list of these variables, refer to the MicroStation documentation under Working With Complete Designs / Printing / Tracking Printer Usage / Printing Accounting Variables.
