- I. TIPS/ERRATA/FEATURES/REVISIONS
- ============================================================
-
- 100-Level and Backing-Store
- ---------------------------
-
- panaStation Classic is a 100-level MicroStation driver. Support for
- Backing-Store is not available in 100-Level drivers.
-
-
- Line Weight and Window Positioning Caveats
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Moving windows over lines greater than one pixel wide may result in the
- line appearing broken or jagged when the window is removed. This is part
- of the nature of 100-level MicroStation drivers. To restore the lines,
- it may be necessary to Update the view.
-
-
-
- PANACFG
- -------
-
- To avoid having to reconfigure panaStation when starting MicroStation
- from directories other than the main USTATION directory, you may set
- the environment variable PANACFG. When present, panaStation will look
- to the sub-directory defined by the PANACFG variable for the PANACFG1.DAT
- and PANACFG2.DAT files. If the .DAT files are present the data will be used
- to start MicroStation, the driver will begin its configuration
- process if the files are not found.
-
- Syntax for the PANACFG variable is:
-
- SET PANACFG={path}
-
- where {path} is the complete path name of the sub-directory which holds
- the PANACFGx.DAT file(s).
-
-
-
- II. What if I Have Problems?
- ============================
-
- If you encounter a problem with panaStation, please try to duplicate,
- and document, the steps required to reproduce it. As you document the
- problem, list your current system configuration, including video board,
- resolution, number of colors configured, etc. Also, if possible, try to
- duplicate the problem with a MicroStation sample file so that we can
- easily try to re-create the problem on our equipment. To contact
- technical support, refer the Support Chapter in your manual.
