Background

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, user requirement is to make OpenPlant Isometrics Manager styles stored globally for all projects Using AutoPLANT Modeler.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Copy and paste “OpenPlant” folder from customized projects directory to a folder with the name “Config”, whereas custom OpenPlant Isometrics Manager styles will be stored globally. See image below:
   
   
   
   
2. Open OpenPlant.pcf file from the (%PROJECT_ROOT%) directory and change _USTN_PROJECTDATA variable. See image Below:
   
   
   
   
3. Change AP_PROJECT_INI variable to $(_USTN_PROJECTSROOT), because $(_USTN_PROJECTDATA) can´t be used anymore since we redirected it to C:\TEMP/.
   
   
   
   
4. Open config.ini file from (%PROJECT_ROOT%\Config) folder with any text editor and change OPIM_Root and AP2EC_ROOT variables. See image Below:
   
   
   
   
5. If there is need, open AP2ECConverter.ini file from C:\TEMP\Config\OpenPlant folder and change SCHEMAS_PATH, AP2EC_LOGGER_CONFIG or ECXML_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY paths.
   
   
   
   
6. Create new style; update custom OPIM.ini file and change file rights as Read-only. If not, after every OpenPlant Isometrics Manager configuration dialog opening and closing from Project Administrator, it will update your custom OPIM.ini file with project styles.
   
   
   
   
7. Launch AutoPlant Modeler, start Isometrics generator via OpenPlant Isometrics Manager and verify your newly created style.
