Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant PID Version(s): 08.11.10.xxx Environment: Windows 7 64 bit Area: Installation-Configuration Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Introduction By default the Bentley Vision/Document Manager application is not automatically configured for the use of OpenPlant PID. In order to use Bentley Vision/Document Manager with OpenPlant PID it needs to be added to the configuration file. Adding OpenPlant PID to the configuration files To view/edit/modify OpenPlant PID drawings, the at.ini configuration file must be manually updated. Currently Vision only supports one OpenPlant PID workspace at a time. So if you are working in different workspace such as ISO or Metric the At.ini must be modified. NOTE: The paths mentioned may vary depending on install location or version. Open the at.ini file in Notepad. This file is located in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\CFG OPPID needs to be regisered as application in the GENERAL section of the at.ini file Search the at.ini file for "[GENERAL]". This section may look like this: Examine the APPLICATIONS variable and check to see if there is an OpenPLANT P&ID entry. If there is none add it to end of the list [GENERAL] AP=%NETWORK_ROOT% APWS=%LOCAL_ROOT% AT_BIN_DIR=%NETWORK_ROOT%\bin APP_RELOAD_FLAG=0 APTMP=C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Tmpdir\ APPROJDB=C:\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\ MSCADAPP=C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 1)\MicroStation\ustation.exe ProjectDetailsForLogin=0 SavedUserPW= LastUser=Supervisor CurProject=0001 APPLICATIONS=DocManager;PIPING;ISOMETRICS;/.../P&ID;STRUCTURAL, OpenPLANT P&ID ; The OpenPLANT P&ID value is also used as a section header in the at.ini Search for the [OpenPLANT P&ID] section header in the at.ini. If there is none add it [OpenPLANT P&ID] REGAPP=OPPID DESCRIPTION=OpenPLANT P&ID The application configuration variables and their meaning: Variable Description REGAPP Token to identiy the application. Used in the document registration table DOC_REG of the Project Database DESCRIPTION A descriptive string of the application name WSConfig MicroStation Workspace Configuration file OPPID_PROJ Workspace Project Configuration file (OPPowerPID_Imperial,OPPowerPID_ISO,OPPowerPID_Metric…) FILETYPES Files extensions to be displayed in Vision for new document creation DGN Seed file name PATH Path to seed file MSCADAPP Path and name of the OPPID executable Example: [OpenPLANT P&ID] REGAPP=OPPID DESCRIPTION=OpenPLANT P&ID WSConfig= -wuuntitled OPPID_PROJ= -wpOPPowerPID_Imperial FILETYPES=DGN DGN=seed_eng.dgn PATH= C:\ProgramData\Bentley\PowerPID (SELECTseries 5)\WorkSpace\Projects\OPPowerPID_Imperial\Dataset\seed MSCADAPP= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\PowerPID (SELECTseries 5)\PowerPID \powerpid.exe" Application Setup If the OpenPlant PID is not in the Vision Document Tab, it must be added. To do this selection File->Application Setup. From this Dialog add OPPID to the list. Additional Changes Required with Latest Versions With latest release of OpenPlant PID SS5 (08.11.10.631) and AutoPlant SS7 (08.11.12.111) builds, there are some additional changes which are required to integrate Vision with OpenPlant PID. Due to rebranding of OpenPlant PID, there is a slight change in the folder names. For Example, OpenPlant PowerPID has been replaced by OpenPlant PID. When adding the path in at.ini file you will need to take care of below fields. PATH - You can copy the path of seed file from your project. MSCADAPP- Path of executable can be copied here because that has changed as well. Modify the OpenPlant PID project name in project.ini (File is located in the AutoPlant Project folder) file which resides in the AutoPlant Project. As highlighted below, you need to add project name after "-wp". For example , if your OpenPlant PID project name is OPPID_MixMetric, then value for OPPID_PROJ should be -wpOPPID_MixMetric. If Openplant PID project name is OPPID_Mix Metric then value should be -wpOPPID_Mix Metric. Basically, OPPID project name should match with the project name in OPPID_PROJ variable with -wp prefix. Once this change has been saved, close Bentley Vision and launch again. Comments or Corrections?
