How do I increase the size of text at plot time using MicroStation printing?


Product(s):MicroStation
Version(s):V8i, CONNECT
Environment:N\A
Area:Printing
Subarea:Design Script

Problem Description

When printing I need to modify the size of text (increase the ratio eg 10x). The current text sizes in our DGN are too small.

Steps to Resolve

To accomplish what you want, you need to write a design script. The online help has a section on desigh scripts. Open Help in MicroStation and select the Contents tab. Expand the book "Working with complete designs". Expand the folder Printing. Expand the folder "Print Resymbolization and Design Script". This entire folder can help you write the design script. An example follows:

if ((type == text) and (level == 18)) then
   size = 200
endif
