    How to print Filled Elements that are in Master file but not in its Reference(s)

      Product(s): MicroStation

    How to print Filled Elements that are in Master file but not in its Reference(s)

    Background

    Having created a Sheet Model containing Reference(s) of which both contain Filled elements, when printing all Filled elements are printed. In certain situations, the Fill in the References is not required to be printed but the Fill in the Sheet Model is required.

    Steps to Accomplish

    Option 1 Changing the Reference Presentation

    The reference file presentation can be changed prior to printing, the down side with this method is the need to reset once printed if not required to be a permanent change.

     

    1. Open the References dialog

    2. Select the Reference(s) to be affected and in the ‘Presentation’ column, select the Presentation Style

    3. Turn on the ‘Use View Flags’ toggle

    4. Turn off the ‘Fill’ option (Toggle others as required)

    5. Select OK

               

               

               

     

                 The view should be updated with the Reference no longer displaying filled elements and can then be printed.

     

               

     

    Option 2 Use a Pen Table to Re-symbolize the Filled elements in the Reference(s)

     

     

    Using a Pen Table once created can be attached as required, will not affect the Design elements.

     

    • Open the Print dialog

    • From the Print dialog create a new Pen Table (Reymbolization > New Pen Table) or select existing one for edit.

    • From the Element Selection Criteria tab, select ‘Files’ to open the Identify Files dialog

               

    • Identify the Reference(s) to be affected using the ‘Select’ option.

      (In this instance the Reference in Slot 1 – See Help and wiki link below for further options)

               

    • From the Element Selection Criteria tab, select the ‘Fill Color’ and choose the color(s) that are not to be plotted or select ‘All’ and select OK.

               

    • From the Element Output Actions tab, select ‘Do Not Plot’

               

    • On the Modify Pen Table dialog select File > Save and close the dialog.

       

      At this point the new Pen Table is automatically attached to the Print Dialog, but the Print dialogs preview may need to be refreshed to verify the changes prior to printing
