    To Specify Various Imperial Value Output Type in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
      Version(s): 08.11.09.581
      Environment:  Windows 7 (64 bit)

    Overview

    To Display various Imperial value output Type

    Problem Description

    User requirement is to get various Imperial Output type in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Below steps will aid user to get desired output. Below settings can be used for both OpenPlant Modeler & AutoPLANT Modeler with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. 

    Steps to Resolve

    1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

    2. Select Project unit, say OPModeler_Imperial here and click OK.

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



    4. From Isometric configuration dialog box, select ‘Advanced’ node and click on ‘Explore Style Configuration’ option to allow user to navigate to the style folder.



    5. Select IFC folder and open style.cfg file for customization.

      Note: For OpenPlant Modeler, user can navigate the path location as %Projectroot%....\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler>Imperial\DataSet\ Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Config.

      For AutoPLANT Modeler, user can navigate the path location as %Projectroot%...\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_IMPERIAL\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Config

    6. Go to the section labeled:

      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      # IMPERIAL_FORMAT
      # Specifies the imperial value output type
      # = 0 as FIF (Feet-Inch-Fraction) (default)
      # = 1 as decimal feet
      # = 2 as decimal inch
      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. Se the default variable as shown below for DIAMETER,COORDINATE, DIMENSION & LENGTH in FIF (Feet-Inch-Fraction) which is set as 0. 

      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      # IMPERIAL_FORMAT
      # Specifies the imperial value output type
      # = 0 as FIF (Feet-Inch-Fraction) (default)
      # = 1 as decimal feet
      # = 2 as decimal inch
      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      IE_FMT_DIMENSION_IMPERIAL_FORMAT = 0
      IE_FMT_DIAMETER_IMPERIAL_FORMAT = 0
      IE_FMT_COORDINATE_IMPERIAL_FORMAT = 0
      IE_FMT_LENGTH_IMPERIAL_FORMAT = 0

    8. Check output with same settings. 





    9. Change the default variable as shown below for DIAMETER & LENGTH in Feet & Inches as decimal. 

      IE_FMT_DIMENSION_IMPERIAL_FORMAT = 0
      IE_FMT_DIAMETER_IMPERIAL_FORMAT = 2
      IE_FMT_COORDINATE_IMPERIAL_FORMAT = 0
      IE_FMT_LENGTH_IMPERIAL_FORMAT = 1

    10. Set the variable as shown below to show the co-ordinate with decimals up to certain places.

      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      # IMPERIAL_DECIMAL_PLACES
      # Specifies the maximum number of decimals used in decimal imperial output
      # = 0 zero decimals
      # = 1 1 decimal
      # = 2 etc (default)
      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      IE_FMT_DIMENSION_IMPERIAL_DECIMAL_PLACES = 2
      IE_FMT_DIAMETER_IMPERIAL_DECIMAL_PLACES = 2
      IE_FMT_COORDINATE_IMPERIAL_DECIMAL_PLACES = 2
      IE_FMT_LENGTH_IMPERIAL_DECIMAL_PLACES = 2

    11. Save & Close style.cfg file.

    12. Generate Drawing and verify results. See image below.
