    Why is my Print Dialog not showing a preview

    Product(s): MicroStation
    Version(s): v8i, CONNECT
    Environment: N\A
    Area: Printing
    Subarea: Dialog

    Problem Description

    When I open the Print Dialog, the preview is not displaying despite the Area being set to sheet and the contents of the design is within a sheet model boundary. This is occurring in all models in the drawing, but not on another machine's install.

     

    Steps to Resolve

    On the Print Dialog there is an option "Show Design in Preview". Ensure this is toggled ON so the preview can be displayed.
