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…

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…

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…

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

I'm trying to determine a way to with the standard pen table substitutions or named expressions to print "Sheet X of Y" for various disciplines within one print set file. There is a named expression variable "PrintSet.PrintDefCount" that counts the total…

Hi I used to use IPLOT to create pdf's but found that the standard Print Organizer i much faster. But I have a problem when I need to create more than 500 print (plotshapes). I know where to changes this for IPLOT, but can't find the same config…

Hi all, When I choose "Settings > Apply Print Style" from the Print Dialog and change to another Print Style it takes ok not 5 min., but 4 min and 59 seconds to apply. What could be the problem? This is just too long. (V8i SS2) TIA Mike

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…

Hello all. We have begun having issues with newly created user accounts. When we add a new user to to ProjectWise ( SS3 - 09.11.09.109 ) they are unable to print to PDF files within MicroStation V8i ( SS2 - 08.11.07.443 ). The "save as" dialog which…

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…

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…

Is there a way to force Line Weights on inside the pltcfg?

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 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…

The batch plotting in the office has been controlled by a centrally located batch plot specification file. Works Great. As we (finally) migrate to 8i, what file controls the print style definitions, and how do we locate it? So far, I've had to recreate…
