    ICS Improvements to Multi-File processing

    In ICS, I can select individual DGN files and submit a job from an ICS profile  that doesn't ask me about the ICS printer, but does have me select a pre-determined settings file from ProjectWise.  Works Great!!!

    To make renditions from IPS files, the ICS printer must be specified in the IPS file, and the plots must have a settings file applied from ProjectWise.  Selecting a profile from the ICS profile dialog is not an option (grayed out).  This is time-consuming preparation, with the only real savings being PDF generation.  It would be faster to just select the individual DGN files, then use an ICS profile to process them.  The only drawback is that the renditions from individually-selected DGN files cannot be placed in a multi-page PDF by ICS.

    Is there any chance that ICS will be enhanced to use the IPS file solely as a list of files, and allow the user to select a Presentation from the ICS profile dialog?  Or will it be enhanced to allow individually-selected DGN files to be rendered into a single multi-page PDF?

      Andrew, Your suggestion is exactly what I have been doing. On the ICS server, I created a printer for ICS (LACSD_ICS_Printer) that uses our preferred KIP860 driver. Works great! Only problem is still…
