High Quality Presentation and Publishing Made Simple


Map Publishing Solutions Overview
The CADscript software solution enables the simple generation of professional publication-quality presentation graphics inside MicroStation.

Key Feature:  CADscript's WYSIWYG operation—What you see on the screen is what you get in the print.

Extra control is provided by resymbolization and ordering tables, whose effects are visible on the screen the moment they are applied—costly, time-consuming checkplots are a thing of the past.

In addition, CADscript does away with traditional color limitations, provides masking functionality and generates high-resolution compressed PostScript or EPS output straight from MicroStation.

Easy-to-use menus provide MicroStation users with access to the desktop publishing tools. Tools typically found in cartographic and desktop publishing such as graduated linear and radiated fills are readily available to create design effects.

Sophisticated full and half halo creation is available on either closed linear elements to represent water, earth, area boundaries, and linear elements.

Transparency as a screening percentage from 0 to 100 percentage is ideal for highlighting areas on a raster image and adding color washes to monochromatic images. CADscript uniquely makes transparency available to 2004 Edition users through its own capabilities and leverages the capabilities in MicroStation for the V8 XM Edition.

A full complement of handy cartographic tools, such as line cap options, are provided along with a wealth of text presentation options, including shadowing, variable fill, transparency, and the use of PostScript fonts. CADscript makes it simple to place text along curves and around corners. CADscript also allows EPS files to be placed directly into MicroStation to bring accent graphics and other designs in that may have been created in another desktop publishing tool.

To ensure the best presentation output, users of CADscript have complete control over element order and symbology presentation both on the screen in WYSIWYG mode and in printing or plotting. Using CADscript, it is simple to produce a composite PostScript or color separation files for print production. For plot production, CADscript offers reliable and powerful print control.

CADscript print control provides an intuitive interface making it straightforward to create high quality industry standard PostScript output. From one screen easily define print setup, manage plot scale, implement image compression techniques, define plot rotation or color separation options.

Bentley CADscript is also a client of Bentley MAPscript, a scaleable, server-based system for digital output management.
