Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Version(s): 08.11.09.XXX (SS5) | 08.11.11.103 (SS6) Environment: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 bit) Area: Settings/Attributes Subarea: Original Author: Abhijit Bute, Bentley Product Advantage Group Background As desired by few users to open generated isometric dwg in AutoCAD instead of OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, some modification is required in IsoExtractor.bat file. User should be able to get it with limited functionality. Below are the case discussed to achieve the desired settings. Note - To extract in dwg format and opening the iso with ACAD will drop the component attributes. So you will be unable to read spec data from the components in the graphic environment. Case1: To Generate dwg Format Using "Show Isometric" option : Manual Approach Steps to Accomplish Open Project Administrator select the working project and open Isometric Configuration. Change isometric output format to dwg. Go to following path for editing " IsoExtractor.bat ". C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\OpenPlantIsometricsManager V8i\OpenPlantIsometricsManager\IsoExtractor\IsoExtractor.bat Copy original IsoExtractor.bat file as backup. Right click on " IsoExtractor.bat " click on edit. Edit " IsoExtractor.bat " as per below comment on (add rem text) in front of openIso as shown in below image. rem: openIso Comment out (remove rem text) on following lines and give the exact path of 'acad.exe' file as per install AutoCAD version. :openIso set str=%4 set str=%str:\\=\% "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015\acad.exe" /p " >" %str% goto End Refer below Image. Save the file and generate isometric to review the result. Case 2: To Generate dwg Format for Isometrics: An Automated Approach Steps to Accomplish Open Project Administrator select the working project and open Isometric Configuration. Change isometric output format to dwg. Edit ‘IsoExtractor.bat’ as mention below. Add condition to open Seed File- IF [%4] == [] goto openseed Following statement convert .l00 to 'dwg' set a=%~4 set aa=%a:.l00=.dwg% set dwg=%aa:l00=dgn% START "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015\acad.exe" "%dwg%" goto End Following statement opens generated isometric in AutoCAD. :openIso START "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015\acad.exe" "%~4" goto End Following statement opens seed file in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. :openseed OpenPlantIsoExtractor.exe "-wc%config%" "-ws_USTN_PROJECTSROOT=%PROJROOT%" "-wu%~1" "-wp%~2" "-wsPW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION=1" "-ws_SP_DOCMGMT=1" "-wsPW_MG_CFG=%PW_MG_CFG%" -WAISOEXT "-wsSTYLE=%~3' '%~4' goto End Refer below image. Save the ‘IsoExtractor.bat’ file. Generate isometric to review the result. Download attached 'IsoExtractor.bat' file. Note: Above steps only work if isometric generation path in 'Isoproj.cfg' is IE_DGN = $(IE_STYLE_WORK)dgn/. if isometric generation path is set on other location, then user need to change IE_L00 path to same location of generated isometric Refer below Image.
