    Creation of External Database Path Variable for Textnode.txt File

    Applies To
    Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
    Version(s): 08.11.09.XXX (SS5) | 08.11.11.XX (SS6)
    Environment: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 bit)

    Original Author: Abhijit Bute, Bentley Product Advantage Group

    Problem Description

    Some user requirement to place external database file on server and all users can access that files. For fetching data from external database to Isometric backing sheet (Project Title Block), need to mention full database path in textnodes.txt file. Following steps will aid user to create new variable for database path.

    Steps To Resolve

    1. Create new variable in ‘IsoProj.cfg’ which is applicable for all style.
      Refer the path for IsoProj.cfg’ file: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_MMETRIC\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics
    2. Define new variable for Excelpath.


    3. Now open textnode.txt file refer following path
      C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley PlantV8i Projects\SAMPLE_MMETRIC\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config
    4. Add following entry.

    5. Save textnode.txt file.
    6. Generate isometric to review the result. 

    Still a Problem

    If there is still some problem, then please create a Service Request and contact Bentley Product Advantage group along with the list of all relevant details to get in depth analysis and for possible solution or workarounds.
