    How to Change Dimension Text View in Generated AutoPLANT DWG Isometrics Model

    Applies To
    Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
    Version(s): 08.11.09.XXX (SS5) | 08.11.11.XXX (SS6)
    Environment: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 bit)
    Area: Settings/Attributes
    Subarea: Modify Dimensions
    Original Author: Kestutis Mitkus, Bentley Product Advantage Group

    Background

    There are some situations when AutoPLANT model has big amount of pipelines placed in various angles and in generated isometrics model dimension texts of these pipes are placed in isometric view. At some angles dimension texts are hard to read or understand especially when Isometrics model has big amount of such pipes.



    There is possibility to generate Isometric models with dimension text in flat view and this can be accomplished if Isometric Output is set to DWG format.

    Steps to accomplish:

    1. From the Project Administrator select the project, expand the OpenPlant Isometrics node and select Settings. Click on Create/ Modify to launch OpenPlant Isometric Style configuration.


    2. In the Isometric Configuration Dialog select Isometric Management tab and set Isometric Output Format to DWG


    3. Save changes and select Isometric Style tab, select the style to be modified, highlight the Advanced settings and click on Explore Style button.


    4. Open Style.cfg file from config folder and add following entry at end of the file.
      IE_2D_FLATTEXT=1


    5. Save changes and generate Isometrics model again to review the result.


      Note: This variable works only with DWG generated isometric models and Stacked fractions for Imperial projects are not supported as well.
