To Change Isometric Output Drawing Name Format

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, Isometric drawing nomenclature formatting required by user. Below explanations illustrates on changing the format. 

Problem Description

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, isometrics output drawing name contains three parameters, LINENUMBER, ‘ISO’, and NUMBER. As per Project requirement user might need to change this to some different format. For this, it is require to change the expressions present under ISO_SHEET class and define it as desired. Below steps will aid user to configure the desired settings. Refer example for new expression would be Project_Name – Unit – TAG- LINENUMBER- ISO-NUMBER. 

Steps to Resolve

1. In Class editor, Open "OpenPlant_3D.01.07.ecschema" schema and supplement it with "OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.07.ecschema" and "OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.07.ecschema".
   
   Path to follow the default project schema:
   C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\ OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Schemas

2. Navigate to ISO_SHEET Class.
   
   
3. Go to Property Tab, and select NAME property.
   
   
4. Check EC Expression custom attribute.
   
   
5. Change the Expression to “OPModeler_Metric-” & this.UNIT & “-TAG-” & this.LINENUMBER & “-ISO” & this.NUMBER See image below.
   
   
   
   
6. In OpenPlant Modeler re-create iso sheet and publish I model.
   
   
   
   
7. Generate Isometrics and verify results. 
   
    

To Define an Expression using Property Created in Primary Schema

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, isometrics output drawing name require to have the New property which is created in primary/main schema i.e. OpenPlant.01.07 schema and to get the property displayed in Iso Sheet name tag. In above section it has been explained to use the properties present in ISO_SHEET class. See below steps for expression defined to use it for primary schema property. 

1. Create a New property say DWGNAME on Primary Schema level. 
   
   
   
   
2. Repeat Steps 1-4 as described in above section to open schema and navigate to NAME Class. 
3. Under "Calculated EC property Specification" custom attribute, type below mentioned expression. 
   this.GetRelatedInstance("PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEM_HAS_ISO_SHEET:1:PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEM").DWGNAME & "-iso-" & this.NUMBER
   
   
4. Also check image below. 
   
   
   
   
5. Save & Close schema. 
6. Generate Iso Sheet and verify results. See image below.
