Join Jeanne Aarhus for an in-depth discussion in this video Using print levels and references, part of MicroStation: Plotting in V8i.
- [Instructor] In this exercise,…we will take a look at how to affect levels…both in the master file and in your reference files…just for printing purposes.…Continue using the file chapter five,…Additional Print Concepts.…Using view groups, select the model…Print Levels and References.…Use the place fence command…and select the border boundary element.…Using the print dialog, select Settings,…Print Levels and References.…
These settings allow you to control…what levels are on or off in the printed output…and what references are displayed.…When users work on their files,…they often turn levels on and off…and forget to restore them when they close the file.…If this is saved using the save settings command,…then prints may not reflect the true status of the drawing…especially during the batch printing process.…These settings give you total control…over what levels print…both in the active file and in your reference files.…
It also provides a method for turning off…which reference files are displayed.…To demonstrate this,…
