Printing Cross Sections

There is a pair of buttons in Print Organizer, in the define by Shape dialog:

Create one print definition from first matching shape

OR

Create one print definition for each matching shape

You want to check ON "...each matching shape"

Also, make sure that your "Print Area" on the Main tab is set to "Fence"

I did have that button checked. I just drew a rectangle around the border. The only way to pick the shape that I can see is by level which I have my shape on a level named "shape." I even have it on a certain color and enter that as well.   I know I am missing something. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this. I don't want to have to print 200 separate pdfs and combine them

There's also a picklist on the print definition tab...I believe the option you want is "All Models".
That's another setting that catches me up sometimes.

Yep, had that checked too...

Are you only getting the first sheet recognized by Print Organizer when creating a PSET?

Or is it only PRINTING the first sheet?
If the problem isn't generating the PSET, but printing, double check that your "Print Range" is set to All (not Selection) and that "Submit as" is set to Single Print Job. I've chased that around the bushes more time than I care to admit...

I got it! I finally realized that when you are adding files to set, that is where you pick the print style name you chose...geez. Thanks again so much for your help!

Glad you found it!

Hi I'm having very similar issues. I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

When adding my dgn with cross section layouts in it to the Print organizer I get the message "sheet border" is not a valid level for file.

I select my print style name and then select manually specified options, go to fence, select define from shape, and then type in the level "sheet border" and I check the "create one print definition for each matching shape"

Yet, after all this I get nothing added to the print organizer due to "no elements matching the automatic area search criteria"

Thanks for the help!

Double check the spelling of your level - I've typo'd our batch plot level name before.
Also, doublecheck that your shape is really a closed block. Sometimes a linestring will be placed as a box, but it wasn't closed, so it can't be "found" as a closed element. You can use the "Create Complex Shape" tool with "Simplify Elements" to make it a closed box.
