		    	General Pen Table procedures.

    First, open the plot dialog box by selecting 'File->Print/Plot'
    from the MicroStation File menu.  This dialog box is resizeable.
    In it's smallest state there is no plot preview area visible.
    If you resize it to make it large enough, a plot preview area will appear.

    From the plot dialog 'PenTable' menu select 'Modify'.  A file open
    dialog box will appear.  Select the pen table file that you wish to
    load/modify.  The 'Modify Pen Table' dialog box will appear.

    At this point the pen table is loaded and you should be able to see
    its effects in the plot preview area of the plot dialog box.
    After making a change to a pen table you will want to see what effect
    it has on your plot.  Simply switch focus back to the plot dialog and
    click on the 'Preview Refresh' icon.  This will cause the preview area
    to update and will reflect any changes made to the currently loaded
    pen table.

    Once the development of a pen table is finished, you may want to load
    it by selecting 'PenTable->Load' from the plot dialog rather than 
    'PenTable->Modify'.  This way, the pen table will load, but the
    'Modify Pen Table' dialog box will not appear.

    To unload a pen table, you can select 'PenTable->Unload' from the
    plot dialog, or simply 'File->Exit/Unload' from the Modify Pen Table
    dialog box.

    NOTE:  The BASIC debugger cannot be used to step through the execution
    of BASIC routines which are called from pen tables.  To debug such
    BASIC code, you can modify your 'main()' routine to call the
    pen table entry points manually.  Once the BASIC code is fully
    debugged, you can remove main(), or change it back to it's
    original form.
    


============================
    1)  plotordr.tbl	-   use design file plotordr.dgn

    This example demonstrates how a pen table can determine the relative
    order in which various design elements are plotted.  To use it,
    load the plotordr.dgn design file into MicroStation (look for it
    right here in this directory).

    When the pen table is loaded the order of the ellipses in the plot
    will be reversed.  Several text string subsitutions also occur:

    $DATE$	    gets substituted with the current date: 22 SEP 95

    $TIME$	    gets substututed with the curre time : 11:34:31

    Pen Table File   gets substituted with the loaded pen table file name.


    
    
============================
    2)  cellsub.tbl 	-   use design file cellsub.dgn

    This example demonstrates how MicroStation BASIC programs can be used
    in tandem with a pen table.  The example replaces certain cells with
    another cell at plot time.  The name of the BASIC program used by
    this pen table is cellsub.bas.

    Be sure to load cellsub.dgn as your master file before try this
    pen table.
