Printing and references

References are a valuable design tool and are fully supported by MicroStation´s printing tools. For simple printing, you set up the view with all the required design elements displayed, both in the active design file and all references. You then can print the view contents or place a fence around the area of interest. MicroStation lets you attach an unlimited number of references to the active design file. These attachments can include DWG and Raster files. Nested reference attachments also are supported.

Pen tables and references

With pen tables, you can selectively resymbolize elements from a particular reference or from a list of references. For information on resymbolization of references, refer to Files in the Print Resymbolization and Pen Tables chapter.

Printing raster files

MicroStation's Raster Manager lets you attach and manipulate image files of various formats. In order to print these raster references, your printer must be capable of printing raster data. For information on printing raster image files, refer to the Printing Raster Images chapter.
