    20. How to increase / decrease minimum distance between isometric drawing / annotation and actual Border when using AutoPIPE?

    Applies To
    Product(s): AutoPIPE
    Version(s): 10.00 and Higher
    Environment: N/A
    Area: Stress Isometric

    Problem:

    How to increase / decrease minimum distance between isometric drawing / annotation and actual Border when using AutoPIPE?

    Example: 

    Notice how the drawing annotation exceeds the border boundary

     

    How to adjust some settings to not allow the drawing annotations to not cross the border lines? 

    Solution:

    The issue with the dimensions can be solved be increasing the value for IE_BORDERSIZE (style.cfg)

    This setting controls the minimum distance of pipework to the isometric window extent and allows for more workable spec for annotation elements near the isometric window extent.

    Step #1:

    Close AutoPIPE

    Step #2:

    The style.cfg file requires an update. It is located in following folder(s):

    1. “[InstallationDirectory] \ isoextractor \ projects \ project01 \ stress \ Config \ style.cfg”.

    2. [ProgramData] \ Bentley \ [AutoPIPE CONNECT version folder] \ isoextractor \ projects \ project01 \ stress \ Config \ style.cfg.

    Note: This style.cfg file is copied from folder #1 to folder #2 when the application is first opened or when profiles are reset.

    The file can be open in any Text editing application (i.e. MS Word, NotePAD, UltraEdit ect..)

    Step #3:

    After the file is opened, search for the following entry  "IE_Bordersize = 20"

    the value can be changed to any value between 20 to 80.

    Step #4:

    Save the file, close the file, start AutoPIPE,  open/create a model, save a Stress Isometric and confirm the setting works. 

    Note: Use Tools> Settings> Preference> Reset Defaults button to update folder path #2 above. Also, due to security measures on the folder path #1 above, better to save the file to a temp location (i.e. desktop) and copy / paste it to the designated folder path.
