    How to convert units of Dimension & Size in Isometrics.


    Applies To 
    Product(s): OpenPlant Modeler & Isometrics Manager CONNECT Edition
    Version(s):

    10.08.00.51

    Environment:  Windows 8.1/10 (64-bit)
    Area:  Isometrics units
    Subarea:  Conversion of units.

    Background

    In OpenPlant IM CE, requirement is to convert the dimensions of pipeline & size of pipe inside the BOM to different unit. A two new variables plays the important role here which allows user to convert the unit from Metric to Imperial or vice versa. By default if we create an isometric in Metric workspace the results are as follows

    Dimension

    Size in BOM



    This wiki article will explain how to change the Metric dimensions & diameter as shown above to imperial units.

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Launch OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition.



    2. Select desired workspace > workset from the interface & Place any piping components.

    3. From pipeline manager, select pipeline, choose required isometric style (here CHECK) & auto-generate iso-sheet as shown




    4. Once done, the OpenPlant Isometric Manager interface will open. Launch style editor as shown



    5. Select the correct style & click on Style Config Root as shown



    6. This will take to the styles location in workset. Open the Style.cfg file as shown

    7. Search for variable ConvertLengthUnit or ConvertDiameterUnit.



    8. Click on start. Once done, do right click & click on show isometric as shown



    9. Verify the results as shown.

      Size in BOM 



      Dimension



      Notice that the size & dimension has been converted successfully from Metric to Imperial.
