Microstation Raster File Attached

Microstation Raster File Attached

Microstation Raster File Attached

(OP)
I am having difficulty plotting a design file with multiple rasters attached.  The raster files have been attached interactively and everything looks fine on the screen.  The plot has the dgn in place but the raster files seem to plot wherever they want to with sections duplicated at the bottom of the plot.

I am not a cad person, so any ideas would be appreciated.

RE: Microstation Raster File Attached

County,
Just a guess...Use your plotter specific file for printing. Instead of printer.plt, use hpgl.plt or other plotter file while you printing. I guess the output will change. I dont kno for better or worse though.
hope it work better..-|

RE: Microstation Raster File Attached

Raster files require Microstation plot driver files that accept raster images. Some plotters cannot plot raster files. HPGL/2 will not plot raster files. Call your plotter representative and see if your plotter can handle raster !

Thanx to all that have replied with suggestions.  

I have found that using a plot file has seemed to fix my issues with the Raster.
