Plot Composer has evolved over more than a decade to become a versatile tool for MicroStation^®, Bentley Map^® and GeoGraphics™ users. Use Plot Composer to place one of a set of border cells on your drawing. Plot Composer takes care of clipping reference models to your border's inner neat line, and creates a fence ready for printing from your border's trim line.

Plot Composer includes AutoText™ that updates automatically. You can specify standard AutoText keywords, such as date and scale. You can specify your own AutoText keywords that are substituted with the value of a configuration or environment variable. You can specify AutoText keywords that a user can update in Plot Composer's dialog box.

Plot Composer lets you add a scalebar to your composed plot. A scalebar is really a misnomer for a ruler, to give your plot's recipients an idea of the true dimensions of your drawing.

You can use Plot Composer as-is or you can substitute another user interface using, for example, VBA. You can design a VBA UserForm that provides a custom plot interface for your organisation.
