I am trying to use the graphics output from the pen table. I know that you can have a color plot a graphic output (lines, cross hatching, diamonds, etc) but the scale of the graphics is too large. Is there anyway of scaling the graphic output to make…

Hey everyone - Having an issue with my notes when I'm trying to apply a background fill color to the text box using a pentable. The text prints on top of the fill shape, as it should, but the actual box line is covered by the fill shape. (See attached…

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…

We utilize custom line styles in our workspace i.e. a "w" inserted in a line for waterline. When we print this sheet using the standard print option and our pdf plt driver, it shows up correctly. I am new to Print Organizer so hang in there with me. I…

I don't seem to be able to get 3D PDF's with shadows! Is this a limitation or can anyone shed some light on it? Can we get this implemented? Ben

Since I am a Geopak user and it has been determined that Print Organizer will not function at all if Geopak is installed (I've tried and tried, activated or deactivated, with no results), I am forced to remain using BatchPlot. By using the keyin to locate…

Hello all, I am currently working with Microstation V8i. I am almost finished with some testing, but I still have the following problem. I am using PDF Factory Pro for plotting my files to PDF. With the pdf.pltcfg I get a layered pdf file, but when…

Has any thought been given to adding the ability to select levels with a wildcard e.g S-* . When selecting level names; if another level is added in a reference later it will not be included in the pentable. If you could select via wildcard, if the level…

I've been experimenting with V8i recently and have created a 3D model of an electricity Substation. From this I have created the various sections as Saved Views using place fitted section. The Saved Views were then used to create new sheets to further…

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…
