Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Modeler Version(s): 08.11.09.278 Environment: N/A Area: Tasks Subarea: Piping Original Author: Justinas Lipnickas, Bentley Technical Support Group Sometimes it is required to load a bunch of Company standard Services / Units into an active dgn file. In the OpenPlant Modeler SS5 version a new command for this was introduced. Sample files for importing can be found here . Steps to Accomplish 1. Create plain text import files, according to the following file format: [Associations] = = [InstanceData] = = Associations tags are optional and not required for example as in case of unit or service; Any number of instances following an associations tag will be associated to defined associations; It is assumed that any associations already exist in the design file, if they are used in the text file. 2. Open the dgn file into which you will be importing these instances; 3. Enter the Key-in OpenPlantModeler Import . Note that is case sensitive (most likely it will be uppercase), so to import Services you need to run OpenPlantModeler Import SERVICE key-in. 4. You will get a File Open dialog, where you need to select the text file with the Instances you will import and click open. NOTE: If you are using some associations in your text file, you need to make sure that those associated items are already existing in the active DGN file. So according to the sample files, you would first need to load Unit and Service files, and only then load the Pipelines file. Also, just to remind, pipelines in OPM uses PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEM class, so this class name has to be used to import them. 5. After importing sample files, all associations and pipelines should appear in your items tree. It can also be then checked-in to the OPMS server, if needed. Comments or Corrections?
