Design State

A Design State cannot be defined unless the following variable is defined:

PROJECTWISE_ISOMETRIC_WORKFLOW_NAME =

This variable must be defined in the WorkSet's .cfg file located in the following location:

Program Data\...\Configuration\WorkSpaces\OpenPlantExample\WorkSets\Imperial\Standards\OpenPlant\Modeler\Modeler.cfg

Note: The variable must be defined in any active WorkSet where a Design State definition is required.

If a workflow is not defined, you will get the following error message when trying to set a Design State from any interface where it can be defined (such as IsoSheet Manager, Create Pipeline dialog etc.)

Once you have defined an isometric workflow name in the %WorkSet%.cfg file, a list of design states will display as a drop down list in the Design State field in any of the dialogs where the Design State can be defined.

Note: To define a Design State, you must be logged into a ProjectWise datasource with a managed workspace defined.
