    Overview

    To Cleanup Isometrics labels and other objects for DWG/PDF output using the configuration settings in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. 

    Problem Description

    Using AutoPLANT Modeler & OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, when drawing output taken in DWG format, user could not be able to modify labels and other objects etc to clean up the overlaps, use of extra spaces in drawings and writing extra notes and other information in it. Below mentioned steps will aid user to make the changes in DGN file and same can get updated in DWG file. In below it has been described in context with AutoPLANT Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However a similar approach would also worked with using OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. 

    Steps to Resolve

    1. Generate Isometrics from AutoPLANT Modeler interface. 
    2. Open Isometric Drawing in DGN Format.
    3. Review Drawing if some congestion is there or some overlaps are present. See image below.


    4. Make changes as desired. User can use ‘Modify Label Tool’ option to move the labels and cleanup some congestions. See image below:


    5. Now process the same file to DWG using Key-in provided in below steps.
    6. From Main Menu, Go to Utilities and select Key-in Option. 


    7. Type isoext publish in key-in dialog.


    8. It will create a drawing with DWG format with changes done in DGN file. See below DWG file. 

    To Publish All DGN files in DWG present inside the working folder.

    User can similarly modify the changes for all working DGN files and Publish it to DWG format at one instance using Key-in isoext publish *

    1. With Key-in isoext publish * in Key-in Dialog.




    2. Select ‘OK’ and program will run as shown in below.


    3. Using this key-in with * (star) will publish all the existing DGN files present inside the working DGN folder and other output format will get saved inside the same defined folder. See image below for DGN present inside the DGN folder and Corresponding output files got generated in other specified folder.

      Note - See folder path mentioned below where all DGN and other Output_Files folder has been processed.
      C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Isometrics\Styles\  IFC\dgn\

    Still a Problem?

    If above problem still persist, then please create a Service Request and contact Bentley Product Advantage group along with the list of all relevant details to get in depth analysis and for possible solution or workarounds.
