    Pen Table use with Project Publisher

      Product(s): Promis.e, Bentley Substation
      Version(s): through 10.00.00.232
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Print_Publish Features
      Subarea: Project Publisher

    How can I specify a pen table for Project Publisher to use so I can remap colors, hide elements with certain criteria, etc. on the resulting PDF file?

    Background

    Project Publisher uses the platform's Print process to create PDFs of the project pages. Setting the configuration to use a pen table for the print process will also affect Project Publisher.

    Steps to Accomplish

    Note that this method will affect all printing, not just Project Publisher output.

    Set the MS_PLOTDLG_DEF_PENTABLE configuration variable to the path and filename of the pen table to be used. For example:

    MS_PLOTDLG_DEF_PENTABLE = X:/Promise/MyPenTable.tbl

    This can be manually added to a .ucf or .cfg file, or added to the user configuration with the following process:

    1. Open the Configuration dialog.
      CONNECT Edition: From the ribbon menu, select File > Settings > Configuration > Configuration Variables.
      V8i: From the main pull-down menu, select Workspace > Configuration
    2. With the All (Alphabetical) category selected on the left, find the MS_PLOTDLG_DEF_PENTABLE variable in the list on the right and select it.
    3. Click the Edit button.
    4. In the New Value pane on the Edit Configuration Variable dialog, enter the path and filename of the pen table. For example:
      X:/Promise/MyPenTable.tbl
    5. Click OK to close the Edit Configuration Variable dialog.
    6. Click OK to close the Configuration dialog.
