    To modify Text, color, font, Line weight etc for an isometric drawing labels. 

    Background

    In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, it has been required many times to change the color, text, fonts, line weights etc for labels. This can be done by modifying the desired annotations present in cell template.This can be done by modifying the cell templates. It can be experienced using both OpenPlant modeler and AutoPlant Modeler. This has been shown in context with OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However similar approach could be utilized for AutoPLANT modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, using the isometric Configuration dialog, either using in session from project administrator (Mentioned below) or from out session using start menu and launching OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.
     

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.



    2. Select Project unit, say OPModeler_Metric here and click OK. See image below:



    3. Click on ‘Configuration’ Icon to launch Isometric configuration dialog box.



    4. From Isometric configuration dialog, select ‘Advanced’ node and click on ‘Open Seed File’ option to allow user to open seed file..



      Note: For AutoPLANT Modeler & OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, to open Isometric Configurationdialog, launch Project Administrator and browse working project  ->OpenPlant Isometrics->Settings->Create/Modify.See image below.



      Note - For launching OUT-Session, click on icon and select Tools-> Configuration button on launch.







    5. From IsoExtractor menu, click on ‘Cell Creation Tool’. See image below.



    6. From Create cell dialog, click on ‘Open template File’.



    7. By default the cell template is stored under …\OpenPlant isometrics Manager \workspace\OPIM\Cell Templates folder. Select Annotation DGN file and click on ‘Open’. See image below.



      Note: It is a good practice to create a backup of the template file before making any modifications.

    8. Go to Note table and change each property by using element information present in context menu. See images below.





    9. Change the property of text as required. See image below.



    10. From Task bar, Place Fence using fence type as Block, and Fence mode as Inside and click on ‘Create Cell’ Option. See images below.





      Note: user need to define cell template using ‘Create Cell’ option to be able to use further. 

    11. From ‘Create Cell’ option, defined cell Name as PLANTC, and add description as shown in below image. 



      Note: It is recommended to use ‘Custom.cel’ from cell library, as the changes will retain in one separate file and it will not alter standard cell file lisocomp.cel which will allow user to use the custom.cel file for other project by copying it from one project location to another. By default it does not contain any information. To create a new cell file, copy paste the custom.cel file and type the name at first place in style.cfg in order to search the library at first, as mentioned in below image.





    12. Similarly repeat above steps for other labels which is required for modification. 

    13. Exit Seed file. 

    14. Generate Isometric Drawing and verify results. See images below.
