;====================================================================== ; ; Bentley Windows System Printer Driver Configuration File ; ; $RCSfile: printer.plt,v $ ; $Revision: 7.68.2.1 $ $Date: 2006/05/10 22:06:27 $ ; ; Plotter driver configuration files are stored in two directories: ; ; $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)/System/plotdrv/ ; $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)/Standards/plotdrv/ ; ; System/plotdrv/ should be reserved for .plt files delivered by ; MicroStation and other Bentley products. Standards/plotdrv/ is ; provided as a place for you to store customized .plt files. To ; simplify plotter selection from the Plot dialog, you may also ; elect to store frequently-used .plt files in Standards/plotdrv/ ; even if you do not customize them. ; ; To minimize the risk of losing your changes during a product ; reinstallation, do not edit the files in the System/plotdrv/ ; directory. Instead, copy the necessary files to Standards/plotdrv/ ; and edit them there. If the .plt file depends on other files, such ; as include (*.inc) files, copy them to the same directory. ; ; NOTE: It is recommended that you create a copy of this .plt file ; for each Windows printer in use, and customize it by adding ; a /name qualifier to the 'sysprinter' record at the bottom ; of the file. ; ;====================================================================== ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ; The lines in this section are required for proper operation. ; This section should appear before any other records in the file. num_pens = 255 ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ; If default_outFile is uncommented, 'print to file' is set by default. ;default_extension /auto_incExt = "000" ;default_outFile = "$(MS_PLTFILES)$(basename(_DGNFILE))-$(MS_PLTMODELNAME).000" ; 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 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" ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; The style records below define how design file cosmetic line styles ; are plotted in paper units.
