check they are not frozen and or turned off like in acad.
in V8 you just open the DWG without turning it into microstation.
Try open

If the outer edge of the sheet has any unique feature it can be used in batch plot ie level or colour it is a polygon right? so if its the only polygon on a specif
level it can be used to set your batch plot boundary..
Better yet you could create a macro that would place a polygon on level 1...
use google to search for inroads, I don't think you'll find anything free as its a commercial driven application so people just want to make money off it rather than give help away for free.. but there are some very good books available..

We work of the server but only since XP as it allows for synchronization ie should the server drop out it saves to local drive then when the server is again available it catches backup to be current.. this becomes almost seamless and if it wasn't for a small dialog box telling you that your...
I use the same printer its very good with microstation..
Chech how much ram it has as you can expand it and have more ram for faster data plots...
Try using the printer.plt ( the windows printer) in V7 and V8 this worked for me and print direct thru windows.
But remember with windows the...
In response to Ben Dar and others...
You don't use the select tool to find out what an element is.. in pre V8 versions tentative on an element and read the status line it tells you what type of element and its level and if its a ref file which one...

Go to their web site on select and have a look, you'll see there are loads of Microstation applications..
Where Bentley sucks is they are crap at promoting themselves and letting everyone know what they have.

Her is my 2 cents worth
Don't use by level unless you set it ups as standards for all elements on certain levels must be certain colours.(just like Autocad)
Use only level overrides and actual active settings for colours and other symbology.
always have symbology on
to turn off by level...
Dave please do not consider this a flame right but as I just posted already you need V8.1
you also need to go to some bentley training say "Whats new in V8 for experienced ustn users.." or attend the next V8 summit would be good.
Can you use the Bentley news groups this has helped me...
I had similar problems at first however its that your missunderstanding the new way symbology works with the way it used to work in V7/SE/J.
first turn on level symbology from Control B
It is like in Acad now where a by level symbology is where you set up standards where all things drawn on that...
I think your wanting to turn off/on your cells via a toggle.
I assume your using V8.
The only way I can acheive this is to reserve a special level for all cell use only.
Lets say level 1 will always be reserved for cells as your office standard now open your seed file and add a level so its...
yuo cant' really zoom in..
You can preview in full screen from the preview pull down in the print manager.
The only other work around is in like pre v8 fence the small area your interested in the control p then look at the preview pull down full screen
you in theory can make a very small area...
You can't.
You can only choose a pre slanted font such as the itallic iso fonts..
Are you sure you not meaning rotate text or place text at an angle.
Try using the macro recorder

where xx is the active angle
then key in ft=yy
where yy= font number
type in tx=zz
