Slider printing issue

slider-diagram
print
retag add tags

I have the following settings for my PSSE version 30 and 32 slider files:

Bus bar is set to filled under diagram properties
Out of service equipment shown with Style Dot under diagram annotation

In PSSE 30, I get the same visual display for a de-energized bus on screen and on print as I should. In PSSE 32, de-energized bus will show as dotted non-filled rectangle box on screen but will show up as dotted filled rectangle box on print.

Does anyone have this issue with PSSE 32?

I am wondering if there is a work around to this problem but have no luck so far. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I got the same in psse32.
I see 2 solutions for that: use not filled busbars - in this case printing is ok. Or use export to jpg - if quality of the picture sutisfy you. And of course - write email to psse support - they can make patch for psse32 to fix that issue.

If I remember correctly the export to jpg feature takes a screen capture of your window. Unless you have a super big and high resolution screen, the quality is fairly bad. Our group did asked for support from PSSE but thus far have not gotten any where.

Hi @yliew

Yes, I'm seeing the same issue on my installation of Pssev32. I tried with both Style Dot and Style Dash and get the same result.

It makes things difficult to see which buses are out of service in print. How did you end up working around it? Can you use a much lighter colour - like a very light grey?

For myself, I just changed the de-energized bus to purple so it shows up better. However, we use these slider print outs for our reports too and management has gotten used to the older format. So our current work around is use V30 for the printouts.
