Isometric Storage Path Expression Editor

The dialog enables you to define a text and property string to use as a naming convention for the isometric.

Displays when you click the Browse button from the Storage Path Expression field when defining properties in the Project Configuration dialog:

SettingDescription
Text Enter a text value in this field.
Property Select a Property value from the drop-down list.
Note:
  • _DGNDIR - Points to the location of the model file in the PW repository. Posting of Isos can be successfully controlled by defining Root storage folder with the following expressions which will post Isos where model files are located:

    $(_DGNDIR)\foldername

    $(parentdevdir(_DGNDIR))\foldername

  • MODEL_NAME - A dynamic property has been added:

    MODEL_NAME is the name of the active Model and can be used to compose a PW storage just like the standard iso sheet properties

Path Separator Click to add a path separator character to the path expression. This is needed to separate the directory name from the expression text.
Add After defining values for the Text and Property fields, click Add to add the string to the Expression field.
Clear Clears the Expression field.
