    How to Save Isometrics Output on Network Drive for AutoPLANT

    Applies To
    Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
    Version(s): 08.11.11.XXX (SS6)
    Environment: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 bit)
    Area: Open/Save

    Case 1

    Background

    In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, defining the UNC path settings can be used based on the project requirement .UNC (Universal Naming Convention) is a naming convention used primarily to specify and map network drives in Microsoft Windows. Below information illustrates how to define the necessary syntax to use UNC paths in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager config files. Modifying the IsoProj.cfg file and any other files that may need UNC paths defined would follow the same rules. Some times customers do not use mapped drive letters but instead use UNC paths. It can be experienced using both OpenPlant Modeler and AutoPlant Modeler.

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Open the IsoProj.cfg located in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\User Project\ Project\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics.
    2. Go to the section labeled:
      # -------------------------------------------------------------------
      # Style specific directory locations
      # -------------------------------------------------------------------
    3. To change the location of where the DGN or DWG Isometrics are placed is done by editing this variable:
      # directory where DGNs are stored/created
      IE_DGN = $(IE_STYLE_WORK)dgn/
    4. If using UNC paths, change the location using the syntax below.
      # directory where DGNs are stored/created
      IE_DGN = \\\\YOURSERVER\ISOPATH/
      Note:
       Ensure extra 2 backslashes at the beginning and the trailing forward slash at the end should be present while defining network path.

    Case 2

    To change the output location of the supplementary files from Isometric Workroot to custom path.

    Background:

    The user wants only isometric DGN to appear in the workroot and wants supplementary files like log, intermediate file, PCF and report files to come in a different directory. The following steps contain procedure to change paths of the supplementary files.

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Navigate to Project Root>OpenPlant>Config root and open IsoProj.cfg file.


    2. In the IsoProj.cfg file change the location of the directory for log, L00(intermediate file), PCF, repots as mentioned below.



    3. Upon generation the isometrics will be placed in the workroot. While the supplementary files will be placed in C\temp root.
