Overview

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, during isometrics generation it displays details sketch error as Error:[N] Detail Sketch Not found in cell libraries: CELLNAME

Problem Description

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, user might receive an error as described below:

Error:[5] Detail Sketch Not found in cell libraries: TEST3 Error:[5] Detail Sketch Not found in cell libraries: TEST2 Error:[5] Detail Sketch Not found in cell libraries: TEST

In below log, it can be noticed that it throws errors for 3 missing cell files namely TEST3, TEST2 & TEST. 

Below steps will aid user to avoid such errors. Below example and error caused shown here using OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However similar instances might occur using AutoPLANT modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

Steps to Resolve

The above errors mentioned due to missing cel file present inside the CELL folder which is found under each styles for isometrics. User has to check detail_sketch.cel file based on the cel defined inside the OpenPlant Modeler. 

Check list

1. In OpenPlant Modeler, list out the cell name defined on selected component under Detail_sketch field.
   
   
2. Under Isometrics Folder, check style folder which contain file name as detail_sketch.cel.
   
   
   
   
   
   Note: Removing the detail_sketch.cel name from style.cfg file also causes the same error.
   
   
3. From Isometric configuration dialog, check what option has been set.
   
   
   
   
4. Check for correct cell name defined inside the detail_sketch file.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Define new cell file if it is missing in library. To add user may please refer >>>this Link.
