Hey, I'm relative new to MicroStation and I'm having trouble producing nice PDFs. The lines aren't coming out smooth when I plot. I don't think it's a line thickness issue and I think I've tried changing the stroke tolerance correctly. Any help? I…

Is there a way to get the view number into the output file name?

I'm trying to create a pen table with multiple level regular expressions in the Element Search Criteria for an individual section. Putting in a single expression works just fine, but when I add a second the entire level expression is ignored. For example…

I'm just learning how to "batch plot" in V8i. I need help with getting the dgns to plot the correct area. Is there a way to set up a sheet boundary or plot area so that the sheets plot properly? I am probably not using the right terminology but…

My project has a font that is using all capital letters for all text, and small letters for symbols not on the keyboard. The problem is that all of my file names are in small letters and so is our Microstation username. When I do a predefined text substitution…

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…
