Open PDF automatically after creating!
With thanks to
Rudi Wells
for sharing this tip:
When you created a PDF with previous versions of MicroStation, you had to locate the resulting file on your hard drive to open it. In MicroStation V8 XM Edition RC4 (08.09.02.42), uncomment the following line in
PDF.plt
to immediately open the PDF after being created.
program /post /command="ShellExecute"
Remember to reload the driver after making these changes.
