I created a few new levels on my working file to make it easier to edit...... but when I print to PDF the lines I drew with the new levels are not displayed. Any ideas how to fix this? or do I just have to stick to the existing levels?

We have just upgraded our MicroStation from V8 and XM to V8i. I use Level Symbology to print grayscale by assigning a screened gray to certain color numbers. I am using the same plot drivers and pen tables as I used with V8i and XM. However, my print…

We have a stipple / stucco / dot pattern which always prints lighter than desired. If we use the cell library "archpatv8.cel" and a PNT-type pattern "Stucco" to create a hatch, it prints light. If we place the same cell at the same scale into our drawing…

I am new to Microstation and currently trying to configure a plt file to printer to an Oce 9300. Using a HPGL2 plt file I have set up custom weight strokes for pen thickness. When I use the plt file to print to the 9300 I get no line thickness at all…

We are having an issue where Print Organizer is not reading the PW managed workspaces, so when we print our files, our custom linestyles, fonts, named expressions, text substitutions, etc, etc, are not being processed since that information does not reside…

I created an aerial using the google earth image capture feature in Microstation V8i. As you may know, microstation does this by creating a triangulated surface or mesh, which is then draped by an image, as if the image were a material. The end result…

We are having an issue with our line weights when we plot to PDF. When we plot to the printer, all of the line weights look exactly the way we want them. The problem occurs when we plot to PDF. Line weights get larger or smaller, but only for certain…

I am getting the error message shown in the picture on a machine that recently had V8i SS2 installed. We have other machines in the office that are running SS2 and have never had this problem, but when submitting a plot in Microstation be pushing the…

When trying to use the Print Organizer, I select my files and print style, but when I click OK nothing happens. I noticed in my Message Center that "The process 'C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation\ustation.exe' encountered an error during startup"…

Picking a printstyle, other than the default, via the "Apply PrintStyle" selection of the print dialog box is very slow. I have tried to simplify things as much as possible by having only (2) .pltcfg files where line weights and linestyle scales are set…

I have a problem with MicroStation V8i being extremely slow when we change “PrintStyles”. I have narrowed it down to not being the actual “PrintStyle” in the dgnlib file , but the .pltcfg file that the “PrintStyle” calls. As I said, I have disabled MicroStation…
