Has anyone been able to get the new Print Organizer (in V8i) to work with GEOPAK V8i installed? I have not been able to, and I am working with Bentley Support to narrow down the cause. They have filed TR #260626 for this issue, but have not yet resolved it.
I also tried using the old Batch Plot ("mdl load batchplt"), but this also does not work in V8i with GEOPAK V8i installed. I am able to use Print Organizer after uninstalling GEOPAK V8i, but that, obviously, is not acceptable.
Thank you,

Esther,
I have been working with Andrew Edge from Bentley on this matter. He has filed TR 262597 to track this problem, and has posted a fix for the next SELECT update.
To answer your question, I am not running anything other than MS and GEOPAK V8i. I have no other related programs installed other than older versions of MS (XM, V8 2004, V7). All are installed to unique folders, of course.
To clarify, TR 262597 covers a Batch Print problem (BP running in an environment it was not designed for, one containing default print styles). That TR does not touch upon the GEOPAK issue at all.
The GEOPAK developers are aware of the compatibility issue with Print Organizer (involving the non-graphics background MicroStation process that Print Organizer relies on) and are working on a solution.
