Changing the print area, does the following:

• If the print area is changed to View, the print area is reset to the view origin and delta for the selected view number. The orientation and rotation automatically is set to achieve the best fit. If the current print scale with the new print area results in a print size that fits the paper, the current print scale is left unchanged. Otherwise, the print size is maximized. The print attributes are reset from the selected view number.
• If the print area is changed to Fence, the print area is reset to the area enclosed by the MicroStation fence if present. Otherwise, the internal fence from one of the Set Fence (Settings > Set Fence from Fit Master or Settings > Set Fence from Fit All) menu items is used. The orientation and rotation is automatically set to achieve the best fit. If the current print scale with the new print area results in a print size that fits the paper, the current print scale is left unchanged. Otherwise, the print size is maximized.
• If the print area is changed to Sheet, the sheet definition is reloaded from the model and applied in the same manner as was done when the Print dialog was first invoked. The print attributes are reset from the selected view number.

When the print area is changed, new view, fence, or sheet parameters are obtained from the MicroStation environment. In this manner, the print area control acts like the Update from View control. When the view number is changed, the behavior is the same as when the print area is changed.
