Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Version(s): 08.11.09.470 & Above Environment: Windows 7 (64 bit) Area: Settings/Attributes Subarea: Original Author: Rahul Kumar, Bentley Technical Support Group Overview To Cleanup Isometrics labels and other objects for DWG output using the configuration settings in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Problem Description Using AutoPLANT Modeler & OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, when drawing output taken in DWG format, user could not be able to modify labels and other objects etc to clean up the overlaps, use of extra spaces in drawings and writing extra notes and other information in it. Below mentioned steps will aid user to make the changes in DGN file and same can get updated in DWG file. In below it has been described in context with AutoPLANT Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However a similar approach would also worked with using OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Steps to Resolve Open Style.cfg file from the project folder. Below path shown for default project folder. User may refer it as guideline. At below space in file type two variables Mentioned below. IE_OUTPUT_FORMAT=DWG,DGN IE_OUT=$(IE_DGN)Output_Files/ Note – More than one Output format will be written to IE_DGN. The other formats will get saved to the directory as mentioned in above variable i.e. IE_OUT=$(IE_DGN). User can assign any name for folders. Here it has been named as Output_Files followed by /. Each of these variables can be configured in the Isoproj.cfg or style.cfg files. The Current Supported Formats are: DGN as 3D master isometric DGN2 a 2D DGN format DWG a 2D DWG format Note – other output formats will be added soon in later version or based on user request and enhancements. Save and close the file. Generate Isometrics from AutoPLANT Modeler interface. Note – OpenPlant Modeler user, can launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager and generate isometrics using I model. User can produce the drawing in both DWG and DGN format. Let’s take a short exercise here.>>> Open Isometric Drawing in DGN Format. Review Drawing if some congestion is there or some overlaps are present. See image below. Make changes as desired. User can use ‘Modify Label Tool’ option to move the labels and cleanup some congestions. See image below: Now process the same file to DWG using Key-in provided in below steps. From Main Menu, Go to Utilities and select Key-in Option. User may also dock this Key-in window for easy handling. Type isoext publish in key-in dialog. It will create a drawing with DWG format with changes done in DGN file. See below DWG file. To Publish All DGN files in DWG present inside the working folder. User can similarly modify the changes for all working DGN files and Publish it to DWG format at one instance using Key-in isoext publish * With Key-in isoext publish * in Key-in Dialog. Select ‘OK’. A program will run as shown in below. Using this key-in with * will publish all the existing DGN files present inside the working DGN folder and other output format will get saved inside the same defined folder. See image below for DGN present inside the DGN folder and Corresponding output files got generated in other specified folder. Note - See folder path mentioned below where all DGN and other Output_Files folder has been processed.
