    Plot Windows UserName in border
     
    To add the Windows USERNAME to the bottom of your plots, try one of the following solutions:

    Solution 1:
    In the plot driver, locate the border record and add ${USERNAME}") to the /comment option.

    border /pen=1 /time /filename /text_height=0.4 /comment=("Plotted By: ${USERNAME}")


    Solution 2:
    Enable the Print Border switch in the Print Attributes and enter Plotted By: ${USERNAME}) in the Border Comment field as shown in the graphic below.


    Solution 3 (MicroStation 08.09.03.xx):
    In the Printer Driver Configuration dialog, enable the Border On option and fill in the Border Comment field as shown below.



    With thanks to Phil Chouinard and Ed Yepes for sharing these on the discussion groups.
