Print Organiser issue within PowerCivil.

Similar to the problem that has been discussed earlier for GEOPAK, the Print Organiser has a similar problem within PowerCivil.

Follow these instructions to ensure the probelm does not effect you.

______________________________________________________________________________________

When Print Organizer is initiated, it kicks off a non-graphics session of PowerCivil in the background. This in turn loads any other applications that would normally start with PowerCivil. When this happens, there seems to be a conflict that is causing problems with Print Organizer. This can exhibit as a crash or an exception error. Other times you may not see a problem at all as it can be intermittent.

This problem is being researched and will be addressed in a SELECT Update. For now, here is a workaround.

Edit the ‘printserver.cfg' file located in the C:\Program Files\BentleyV8i\PowerCivil\config\system (or wherever you have PowerCivil installed) and add the following 2 lines:

%lock MS_INITAPPS

%lock MS_DGNAPPS

Make sure you add them exactly as shown in the sample file below.

%if defined (MSPrintServer)

 

MS_INITAPPS > PrintServer.ma

%lock MS_INITAPPS

MS_DGNAPPS > MCMTBLDR

MS_DGNAPPS > MPTOOLS

MS_DGNAPPS > FIELDHANDLER

%lock MS_DGNAPPS

%endif

 

This will prohibit any additional DGN applications from being loaded with Print Organizer and will take care of the issue.
