    How to Convert Dimension and Pipe Diameter in Different Unit for Isometrics BOM

    Applies To 
    Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
    Version(s): 08.11.11.224 (SS6)
    Environment:  Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 bit)
    Area:  Settings/Attributes
    Subarea:  Dimension

    To convert Pipe diameter & Dimension in different unit in Isometric drawings.  

    Background

    With the latest release of OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, Dimension of a pipeline and Pipe diameter inside the BOM can be converted. A new two variables have been added to allow user to convert the unit from Metric to Imperial or vice versa. Ensure project units are different to enable it to produce desired result.See below steps to use this option. Below example has been taken to convert the Metric unit to Imperial. See default dimension & pipeline diameter extracted in Metric unit.

    Diameter

    OpenPlant Modeler-OpenPlant Isometrics Manager

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. 
    2. Open "Isometric configuration" Config option
    3. Use "Advanced" option from Index present in Isometric Configuration dialog.
    4. Click on Explore style option. 



    5. Open Style.cfg file. Also user can navigate the project folder to open this file. 



    6. Search for variable ConvertLengthUnit or ConvertDiameterUnit.
    7. Change the setting to 1 for conversion. 



    8. Regenerate Isometrics and verify results. See image below for converted units. 

      Dimension


      Diameter

    Note - User may also use Dual dimensions to display both units in one isometrics, which could be used anywhere. Click here >>>> to refer link describing dual dimension on Isometrics.
