Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Version(s): 08.11.09.470 and above Environment: Windows 7 (64 bit) & Others Area: Settings/Attributes Subarea: Original Author: Abhijit Bute, Bentley Product Advantage Group Background Some user may have requirement to open generated isometric dwg in AutoCAD instead of OpenPLANT Isometrics Manager 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. This is something you may achieve with limited functionality. Following description cover two cases Case1: Generate isometric in dwg format and open isometric by right click on 'Show Isometric' option. Steps to Accomplish Open Project Administrator select the working project and open Isometric Configuration. 2. Change isometric output format to dwg. 3. Go to following path for editing ‘ IsoExtractor.bat’ . C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\OpenPlantIsometricsManager V8i\OpenPlantIsometricsManager\IsoExtractor\IsoExtractor.bat 4. Copy original IsoExtractor.bat file as backup. 5. Right click on ‘IsoExtractor.bat’ click on edit. 6. Edit ‘IsoExtractor.bat’ as per below Comment on (add rem text) in front of openIso 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 Images. 7. Save the file and generate isometric to review the result. Case 2: Generate isometric In dwg format and open isometric Automatically Steps to Accomplish Follow case 1 steps 1 & 2 3. 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: 4. Save the ‘IsoExtractor.bat’ file. 5. 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: See Also Comments or Corrections?
