Our agency has PEN tables that allow utilities to appear in color and certain grays to plot and be transparent. There is a section in the PEN table wording that encompasses all other levels and sets them to black. Unfortunately, this also applies to the…

If I print one of my drawings out of MicroStation V8i to a pdf with a hatch in the drawing (road hatch) then the pdf size is extremely large. If I turn the hatch layer off and print in the exact same way that I printed before, then the pdf size is normal…

Hi everyone. One of our employees’ microstation crashes as soon as she tries to print. When you click print the print dialog does not even open, instead it freezes a little bit and then opens the send error dialog, if you close it, it opens another…

The variable MS_PLT_ENABLE_SCALE_CLIPPING states that plots will not be clipped if set to "0". Refer image below. Has anyone else noticed this setting is not honoured in CE for all situations? e.g. If I FENCE an A1 in DESIGN MODEL, set scale to 1…

Is this a pen table issue? I had the Ricoh engineers out to look at the fiery and they indicated that the hardware was fine. The issue seems to happen most when printing to a printer shared from the server. When we print from IP address, it sometimes…

Hello everyone, I have two problems with printing/exporting to pdf. 1) I am unable to print transparencies. If I rasterize the drawing, half drawing is printed in the sheet model (white background) and half in the design model (black background…

I've got a 3D model file with a custom saved view with a display style referenced into a drawing file. However when I try to print this either to a plotter or to PDF the display style reverts to wireframe (rather than 'smooth modelling' for example).…

This is a comment and a question... We pay for Bentley Learn and while it can be handy and has some good content; sometimes I spend FAR more time trying to find the training than is reasonable (or frankly worth the effort). For example I wanted find…

Hello, and welcome to the MicroStation V8i printing forum. In addition to the discussions here, I want to point out that I've posted several articles concerning MicroStation printing in my personal blog, Printing Great Things . If you have a question…

The fence is in a reference that is NESTED 1 level deep. How can I get Print Organizer to find this shape? It's acting like it doesn't see the shape and is instead using the view to define the print window. Thanks! EDIT: I thought I'd…
