h. File > Make Rebcompdlgs.dll
i. Save to temporary location.
a. Using notepad open the ..\PROJECTNAME\PROJECT.INI file.
b. Add a new variable at the bottom of the [General] section of the project.ini of the project.
USECUSTOMREBCOMP=1
Example below:
[GENERAL]
APPLICATIONS=DOCMANAGER;PIPING;ISOMETRICS;ELECTRICAL;EQUIP;2DPIPING;FLATTENER;VISION;NAVIGATOR;DATAMANAGER;HOOKUPS;I&W;INSTRUMENTATION;DATASHEETS;TEMPLATEGEN;P&ID;STRUCTURAL;
DELETETAGNUMBERS=Yes
TAGNUMPREFIX=000
PROJECTNAME=SS2_Test1
PROJECTDESCRIPT=SS2_Test1
REMOVE TAGS ON DOCUMENT DELETION=Yes
COMPACTPROJECTMDBVALUE=20
PROJECTID=0001
PROJECTGUID={DCC8F728-BC50-43E2-865D-250B00A3ED90}
SHAREDSCHEMA=0
SHAREDSTANDARDS=0
Definition of Variable Value Below:
a. USECUSTOMREBCOMP=1 means P&ID will copy the REBCOMPDLGS.DLL from your ..\PROJECTNAME\STANDARDS\ folder to C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant V8i\P&ID\. P&ID will now run and register the dll from this location.
b. USECUSTOMREBCOMP=0 means P&ID will read directly from C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant V8i\P&ID\ and bypass the copy from ..\PROJECTNAME\STANDARDS\ folder.
Example:
If Project A is running a custom dll in the Standards folder and has variable = 1 on open of P&ID it will copy the dll down to the C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant V8i\P&ID\ location.
However, if Project B has variable = 0 (or no variable at all) it will look directly at the C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant V8i\P&ID\ location – Please note that the custom dll from Project A has already been copied here on open of Project A and Project B will appear to be looking at the custom dll from Project A.
To solve this the new variable in Project B will have to be set to 1 as well so it can use its base dll from the ..\PROJECTNAME\STANDARDS\ folder and copy it down to the C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant V8i\P&ID\ location to overwrite Project A’s dll. The C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant V8i\P&ID\ can be considered a temporarily working folder for the Rebcompdlgs.dll now.
