    How to change the linestyle on printed output

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): 08.11.09.459
      Environment:  N\A

    Would like to change a linestyle in a dgn to appear differently when plotted.

    Steps to Accomplish

    • Open the Print dialog

    • From the 'Resymbolization' menu select 'New Pen Table' and save to a location and name of your choice (Alternatively select Edit Pen Table to modify an existing one).

    • Highlight the section to work with under the heading 'Element Section Processing Order'. This is 'NEW' for a new pen table. (See the Edit menu item for creating new sections)

    • Select the 'Style..' button on the Modify Pen Table Dialog under the 'Element Selection Criteria' tab. Highlight the linestyle in the design to be resymbolized and choose OK

    • Optional: If the linestyle is used else where in the design that should not be resymbolized further narrow down the selection criteria using the other options available, Color.. / Weight etc.
    • On the 'Element Output Actions' tab place a check against 'Style:' and use the magnify glass to pick the required output linestyle.

    • Save the Pen table and close the Modify Pen Table dialog.

    • Referesh the Preview to verify result before printing.
