Print Organizer Print dialog
Used to submit printed output to the Windows System printer or to a file on disk for later submission to the required printer.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
File name | Displays the selected printer driver configuration file's file name and location. |
Type | Displays the type of printer driver for which the configuration file is intended. |
Printer name | (Visible only when the Bentley Windows printer driver is selected.) Displays the Windows printer. |
Printer Setup | Opens the Printer Setup dialog, which is used to select, edit, and reload a printer driver configuration file. |
All | Prints the entire print set. |
Selection | Prints only the print definitions you selected. If you select a folder, all items in the top level folder and sub-folders are considered in the selection. |
Number of Copies | Specifies the number of copies you want to print.
Most Windows printer drivers do support multiple copies, some do not. The
hpgl2.pltcfg and pscript.pltcfg printer drivers do support multiple copies;
however, the remaining Bentley printer drivers do not.
|
Collate | (Available only when Windows driver is selected. Visible only when Single print job is selected. Enabled only when Number of copies is greater than 1.) When on, the Windows printer collates multiple copy prints for single print job submittals. The printer.pltcfg and interplot.pltcfg printer drivers support collation; however, the remaining Bentley printer drivers do not. |
Destination Mode (drop-down list box) | Lets you choose the print destination:
|
Submit As (drop-down list box) | (Available only when the Bentley PDF printer driver
is selected.) Lets you determine if a multi-job print set is submitted as a
single print request or as separate print requests.
|
Destination | Specifies the output folder for print files. Use
the browse button to locate a folder or to make a new folder.
By default, the value for Destination text box is determined by the MS_PLTFILES configuration variable. If the File Name property specified in the printer driver configuration file is a UNC share, TCP\IP address, or LPT port, then that destination is used as the default instead of the folder specified by MS_PLTFILES. Multiple print jobs can only be submitted to single folder, UNC share, TCP/IP address, or an LPT port. When printing as separate print jobs, Print Organizer does not support creation of print output files in multiple folders. |
Open print file after creation | (Visible only when a Bentley PDF printer driver is selected) Opens the file immediately after creating the print file. The print file is opened using the Windows application that is associated with the print file's extension. |
Publish PDF to Personal Share | This option displays only if the following
conditions are met:
When selected, the PDF file is first written to the local drive. Then, the CONNECTION Client sends the file to the Personal Share in a separate background process. The file name on the Personal Share will be the same as the one on the local drive. If a file with the same name already exists in the Personal Share, it will be overwritten. |
Use master design file directory for print destination | (Visible only when submitting as Separate print jobs) Sets the output directory for print output files to the same directory as the source file. |
Output File Names | (Visible only when submitting as Separate print jobs) Opens the Output File Name Expression dialog. |
