;====================================================================== ; ; Bentley Windows System Printer Driver Configuration File ; ; $RCSfile: printer.plt,v $ ; $Revision: 7.71.2.2 $ $Date: 2006/10/31 19:34:19 $ ; ; Printer driver configuration files are stored in two directories: ; ; $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)/System/plotdrv/ ; $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)/Standards/plotdrv/ ; ; System/plotdrv/ should be reserved for printer driver configuration ; files delivered by MicroStation and other Bentley products. ; Standards/plotdrv/ is provided as a place for you to store ; customized versions of these files. For simplicity, you may choose ; to store frequently-used files in Standards/plotdrv/ even if you do ; not customize them. ; ; To minimize the risk of losing your changes during a product ; reinstallation, do not edit the files in the System/plotdrv/ ; directory. Instead, copy the necessary files to Standards/plotdrv/ ; and edit them there. If the printer driver configuration file ; depends on other files, such as PostScript prolog (*.pro) files, ; copy them to the same directory. ; ; NOTE: It is recommended that you create a copy of this .plt file ; for each Windows printer in use, and customize it by adding ; a /name qualifier to the 'sysprinter' record at the bottom ; of the file. ; ; NOTE: With the introduction of the Printer Driver Configuration ; Editor in MicroStation 8.9.3, the .plt printer driver ; configuration file format has been superseded by the XML-based ; .pltcfg format. MicroStation continues to support legacy .plt ; files, but migration to .pltcfg files is encouraged. ; ;====================================================================== ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ; The lines in this section are required for proper operation. ; This section should appear before any other records in the file. num_pens = 255 ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ; If default_outFile is uncommented, 'print to file' is set by default. ;default_extension /auto_incExt = "000" default_outFile = "$(MS_PLTFILES)$(basename(_DGNFILE)).tif" ; Automatically center plot on page autocenter ; Color mode options are color, grayscale, or monochrome color_mode = color ; Refer to the documentation for available border qualifiers. ;border /pen=1 /width=0.025 /text_height=0.254 /offset=(0,0) /filename /time /comment=("") ; If true, RGB raster is converted to a color palette when possible. ; Note that this generally results in smaller plot files, at the ; expense of plot processing time and memory requirements. optimize_raster_color_depth = true ; If point_size is set to zero, pattern points are not printed. ; If the size is non-zero, pattern points are printed using diameters calculated from their weights. point_size = 0.01; ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ; If uncommented, the custom paper size definitions below replace the ; paper size list obtained from Windows printer driver. ; * Note that many printer drivers do not support application-defined ; custom paper sizes. If the driver does not properly respond to the ; custom size definition, MicroStation obtains the true dimensions ; from the name of the Windows form specified in the /actualName ; qualifier. If the /actualName qualifier is not present, the name ; of the Windows form whose true dimensions most closely match the ; custom form dimensions is used. If no match can be found via name ; or size, the custom form is ignored. ; * Application-defined form sizes cannot override the Windows printer ; driver's non-printable margins. Therefore, the usable area returned ; by the driver may be less than the .plt form size. ; * If the Windows driver does not permit custom sizes, you may still ; use 'size' records to filter the list of forms presented in the ; user interface. You may also use them to map the Windows form ; names to those specified in your sheet definitions, or to specify ; per-paper-size line weight/style scale factors. For this purpose, ; it is recommended that you add an /actualName qualifier to each ; size record to ensure the desired Windows form is mapped. ; * In some cases, the /actualName qualifier may used to distinguish ; between different forms with identical published extents, but ; different printable areas. For example, when using an HP DesignJet ; printer with Oversize forms loaded, adding the qualifier ; /actualName="Oversize: ANSI E" the 'ANSI E' size record removes ; the non-printable margin from the form definition. ; * You cannot override the printer driver resolution. ; * Each size record must include a /units qualifier. ; * All system printer size records must precede the 'model' and ; 'sysprinter' records in the .plt file. ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ;size=(8.5, 11) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="ANSI A" ;size=( 11, 17) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="ANSI B" ;size=( 17, 22) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="ANSI C" ;size=( 22, 34) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="ANSI D" ;size=( 34, 44) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="ANSI E" ;size=( 12, 9) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="Arch A" ;size=( 18, 12) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="Arch B" ;size=( 24, 18) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="Arch C" ;size=( 36, 24) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="Arch D" ;size=( 48, 36) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="Arch E" ;size=( 42, 30) /units=in /penScale=1.0 /name="Arch F" ;size=(210, 297) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A4" ;size=(297, 420) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A3" ;size=(420, 594) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A2" ;size=(594, 841) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A1" ;size=(841, 1189) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A0" ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ; DfA Formate size=(891, 3150) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x15A4" size=(891, 2940) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x14A4" size=(891, 2730) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x13A4" size=(891, 2520) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x12A4" size=(891, 2310) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x11A4" size=(891, 2100) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x10A4" size=(891, 1890) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x9A4" size=(891, 1680) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x8A4" size=(891, 1470) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x7A4" size=(891, 1260) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x6A4" size=(891, 1050) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x5A4" size=(891, 840) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x4A4" size=(891, 630) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x3A4" size=(891, 420) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x2A4" size=(891, 210) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="3A4x1A4" size=(594, 3150) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x15A4" size=(594, 2940) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x14A4" size=(594, 2730) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x13A4" size=(594, 2520) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x12A4" size=(594, 2310) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x11A4" size=(594, 2100) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x10A4" size=(594, 1890) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x9A4" size=(594, 1680) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x8A4" size=(594, 1470) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x7A4" size=(594, 1260) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x6A4" size=(594, 1050) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x5A4" size=(594, 840) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x4A4" size=(594, 630) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x3A4" size=(594, 420) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x2A4" size=(594, 210) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="2A4x1A4" size=(297, 3150) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x15A4" size=(297, 2940) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x14A4" size=(297, 2730) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x13A4" size=(297, 2520) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x12A4" size=(297, 2310) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x11A4" size=(297, 2100) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x10A4" size=(297, 1890) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x9A4" size=(297, 1680) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x8A4" size=(297, 1470) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x7A4" size=(297, 1260) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x6A4" size=(297, 1050) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x5A4" size=(297, 840) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x4A4" size=(297, 630) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x3A4" size=(297, 420) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x2A4" size=(297, 210) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="1A4x1A4" ; ISO size records size=(1189,841) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A0" size=(841,594) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A1" size=(594,420) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A2" size=(420,297) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A3" size=(297,210) /units=mm /penScale=1.0 /name="ISO A4" ;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; The style records below define how design file cosmetic line styles ; are plotted in paper units.
