    Overview

    InterPlot Organizer is a Windows application for plotting MicroStation design files, AutoCAD drawing files, raster files and Digital Print Room files.

    InterPlot Organizer Window

    InterPlot Organizer allows you to work on a group of plots as a single plot set and gives you full control over plot sets and the plots they contain. You can add, delete and rearrange plots; view and modify the properties of individual or multiple plots; and preview and print all or some of the plots. You can also control how information about the plots in a set is displayed in the Organizer main window.

    Using Organizer, you can plot sets of MicroStation design files, AutoCAD drawing files, raster files or Digital Print Room files without saving or reusing the plot sets. You can also create a plot set for a particular set of files to be replotted periodically.

    InterPlot Organizer offers you several advantages:

    • The Organizer interface allows you to work easily with large sets of plots.
    • At the beginning of a project, you can create a plot set file that corresponds to project drawings.
    • As the design progresses, you can easily produce new sets of drawings by using the Organizer dialog box and the original plot set file.
    • Using InterPlot Organizer is often faster than plotting with the dialog box because you do not have to wait for MicroStation to load the design file or AutoCAD to load the drawing file before you plot.
    • Organizer allows you to create and edit settings files and to edit configuration files.

     

    How to use Organizer

    To start Organizer, do one of the following:

    • From Windows Explorer, double-click the name of an existing plot set.
    • From the Start > Programs > InterPlot Utilities folder, click the InterPlot Organizer command.
    • To start Organizer from the Command Prompt, add the bin subdirectory of the product directory to the system path (\Program Files\InterPlot Professional\bin or \Program Files\InterPlot Client\bin) and type the executable filename and one command line argument (optional). For example,iplotorg.exe <plot_set_filename>

    If you started Organizer without specifying a plot set, a Welcome dialog box appears.

    Welcome to InterPlot Organizer Dialog Box

    The Welcome dialog box contains shortcuts for the two operations that load information into Organizer: creating new plot sets from files you select and opening an existing plot set.

    Select the appropriate option from the Welcome to InterPlot Organizer dialog box and click OK. Click Cancel to exit the Welcome dialog box without performing any operation. Note: If you prefer that this dialog box not be displayed the next time you run InterPlot Organizer, click the "Don't display this screen again" option before clicking OK.

    For additional information about Organizer, click Help Topics from within Organizer.

     

    Organizer Command Line Interface

    InterPlot Client/Professional includes an Organizer command line interface that runs from the command prompt. You can use the command line interface to create, modify, preview, print and archive plot sets, and to export plots from plot sets. Plot sets can be composed of MicroStation, AutoCAD, raster, and Digital Print Room data.

    The Organizer command line provides the following commands:

     

    Create Creates plot set files
    Modify Modifies plot set files
    Export Exports plots from a plot set file as PARM files
    Preview Displays plots on the screen before printing
    Print Prints a plot set
    Archive Archives a plot set file without printing

    An Organizer command line has the following syntax:

      iplotorg <command> <-qualifiers> plotset_file
    

    For additional information on the Organizer command line interface, please refer to InterPlot Reference Help.
