OPIM & ProjectWise Title Block Syncing

So I followed the tutorial "How To Feature Microstation Tags and AutoCAD Attributes" and there is no titleblock syncing tool (keyin).  Any idea?

Here is the document that I followed: 

communities.bentley.com/.../18291.how-to-feature-microstation-tags-and-autocad-attributes

  • pw.cfg

    Hello Andrew,

    The issue with title block update has resulted in Defect 290855 for the service request 7000402577. However, we have a workaround to get the synchronization working. Please follow below steps.

    A.) Copy attached PW.cfg file to:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\OpenPlantIsometricsManager V8i\OpenPlantIsometricsManager\config\appl.

    B.) Open the Iso and update the title block by Projectwise Menu > Title Block > Update Drawing

    C.) Open Isometrics and see the new attributes are updated

    Regards

  • Hello Andrew, 

    We are in discussion with development team. Will soon update you on this. Key-in seems to be a bottle neck part on this. I have to check it.

  • Rahul,

    So I followed the steps in the tutorial stated above, but what I am trying to do is get the attributes into ProjectWise from an AutoPLANT OPIM session. What steps (could be basic outline) need to be completed to get this to happen?

    So far I have done the following, with no sucess:

    - Added new Environment on ProjectWise server with attributes (through ProjectWise Admin)
    - Through Attribute Exchange Rules in ProjectWise Admin, created MicroStation Title Blocks
    - Change "MicroStation Title Blocks" Properties to update on all (4) file conditions
    - In Isoseed file for OPIM style, added TextNodes (to use textnodes.txt file), defined a Tag Set with all attributes same names as Exchange Rules above
    - "Attached Tags" for each of the tags within the Tag Set above
    - Create a new Cell with all "Attached Tags" from above
    - Deleted original "Attached Tags" and placed NEW cell create in above step
    - Updated ProjectWisemap.txt file within ISO Style for OPIM with <pw tagset name>.<tag name> = <drawing attribute>

    When I update PW attributes nothing gets synced automatically. Still do not have the ability to do the KEYIN suggested above, nor the install that you are referencing, since I don't have Microstation installed on this machine (nor would I when we roll this software out).

    Is there something I am missing here? Thank you again for your time.
  • Bentley Support has been in contact with me, the KEYIN is not valid on my system because I do not have microstation installed. Once I hear back with the steps, I will update the information used. Per the support call, they did make it sound that the information could be "pushed" back to PW from the model, if setup correctly per the directions in the link (at the top).
