  • Re: Print Styles

    I believe the paper size list in the print style dialog's Main tab is obtained from the printer associated with the active print set and is provided for convenience only. You're free to type in any paper size name you like. I agree if would be…
  • V8i .pltcfg loading EXTREMELY SLOW

    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…
  • Apply PrintStyle Sloooow

    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…

  • Print Organizer and ProjectWise

    In the define print styles dialog for the print ogranizer, it doesn't appear you can select a plot driver from ProjectWise? Clicking the browse button only goes to your typical windows dialog. Oddly enough, when selecting a pen table, you can navigate…

  • Difference between Plotting to PDF and Plotting to Plotter
