Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Version(s): 08.11.09.XXX Environment: Windows 7 64 bit Area: Settings/Attributes Subarea: - Original Author: Joey Bertone, Bentley Technical Support Group User Overrides The override facility gives the user the possibility to fine tune the isometric output at the fitting level. Overrides are implemented for: Component symbology (color, weight, style, level) Component dimensions Component scale Overrides are defined in a file pointed to by the configuration variable IE_OVERRIDES, which is defined in the IsoProj.cfg file. When IE_OVERRIDES is not defined the file (IE_CONF)overrides.txt is used. Download a sample overrides.txt here. Caution is advised when using overrides as they could override certain settings unintentionally. Please note that an override is absolute, anything set in the configuration manager is overruled: The file may contain zero or more RULE sections. Rules are read from top to bottom allowing rules lower in the list to override higher rules. Rules are setup in the following format. RULE INCLUDE = expression EXCLUDE = expression RULE Keyword that marks the start of a rule definition. IINCLUDE (optional) filters in components for the override. Multiple INCLUDE lines are possible. When no INCLUDE line is present all components will filter in. EXCLUDE (optional) filters out components for the override. Multiple EXCLUDE lines are possible. Rules may contain one or more override statements with the format OVERRIDE_NAME = value. Override Names COLOR Specifies the color for the component that passes the rule include/exclude filters: A value = -1 specifies a no change Use Microstation color values chart 0 to 255 Use RBG color values [32,255,53] Examples: COLOR = 2 COLOR = [32,255,53] WEIGHT Specifies the weight for the component that passes the rule include/exclude filters: A value = -1 specifies a no change Use Microstation weight values 0 to 31 Example: WEIGHT = 5 STYLE Specifies the style for the component that passes the rule include/exclude filters Use default Line Style numerical values 0 - 7 and names ( Center ),{ Diamond } etc.. For line Style names use the exact name from the style. Value = -1 specifies a no change Examples: STYLE = 2 STYLE = { Diamond } LEVEL NAME Specifies the level name for the component that passes the rule include/exclude filters An empty string value specifies a no change Example: LEVELNAME = Level 50 DIMENSION Indicates that the component that passes the include/exclude filter is 0 - NOT to be individually dimensioned 1 - to be individually dimensioned Example: DIMENSION = 0 MIDPOINT Indicates that the component that passes the include/exclude filter is 0 - not to be midpoint dimensioned 1 - to be midpoint dimensioned Example: MIDPOINT = 0 SCALE Sets the scale of the symbol relative to the size of the symbol in the cell library. The value is ignored when not between 0.1 and 10. 1 is full normal size, .5 would be half size and 10 would be 10 times normal size. Min - 0.1 Max - 10 Example: SCALE = 5 Examples Example #1: All elbows with a main port diameter between 50 and 100 (not including 50, including 100) need a specific color and weight. RULE INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_ELBOW && SIZE1 > 50 && SIZE1 4 DIMENSION = 1 RULE INCLUDE = DESCRIPTION=.*VICT.* & SIZE <= 4 DIMENSION = 0 Example #4: All full flanged valves are NOT to get midpoint dimensions RULE INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=.*VALVE.* && CM1=FL && CM2=FL MIDPOINT = 0 Example #5: I want bigger bends in a specific color RULE INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_BEND SCALE = 4 COLOR = 2 Example #6: Do not dimension UBOLT type supports RULE INCLUDE = EC_CLASS=.*UBOLT.* DIMENSION = 0 Example #7: Do dimension WALL opening RULE INCLUDE = EC_CLASS=.*WALL.* DIMENSION = 1 See Also User may also refer the sub article by expanding this wiki for case to case basis and with real time use for easy references. Still a Problem If there is still some problem with Symbology of any component in Isoemtrics drawing, then please create a Service Request and contact Bentley Product Advantage group along with the list of all relevant details to get in depth analysis and for possible solution or workarounds.
