SettingDescription
Use these models to create print definitions (Visible only when the Print Definition Creation Options dialog or Define Print Styles dialog is selected.) List box that lets you choose the models to print.
  • Prefer sheet models — A print definition is created for each sheet model. If there are no sheet models present, a print definition is created for each design model.
  • All models — A print definition is created for each model.
  • All sheet models — A print definition is created for each sheet model.
  • All design models — A print definition is created for each design model.
  • Listed models — Lets you type in the model or models to use for creating print definitions. You can also use regular expressions to match models. For example, if a DGN file contains three models named sheet 01, sheet 02, and sheet 03, you can use the regular expression sheet.* to match all three models.
None Indicates that you do not want to define a fence.
Define from shape Opens the Define from shape dialog, which is used to specify the plot area indirectly by describing shapes whose actual coordinates define the print area.
Define from cell Opens the Define from cell dialog, which is used to specify the plot area indirectly by describing a cell whose actual coordinates define the print area.
Fit to master model The print area is automatically calculated to include every element in the master model. The fence points are displayed in the Fence points list box.
Fit to master model and all reference files The print area is automatically calculated to include every element in the master model and all references. The fence points are displayed in the Fence points list box.
Fit to element range Opens the Fit to element range dialog, which is used to specify the plot area indirectly by describing a fence whose coordinates are based on the range of specified elements. The fence points are displayed in the Fence points list box.
