Configure Isometric Processor to Generate Multiple Output Formats

You can configure the Isometric Processor to generate isometrics in multiple output formats. The IE_OUTPUT_FORMAT variable can be set using a comma separated list of desired output formats. This variable is set in the style.cfg file for each individual style. See the following example:
IE_OUTPUT_FORMAT = DWG, DXF
The current supported formats are:
  • DGN this is the 3D master isometric
  • DWG a 2D DWG format
  • DXF a 2D DXF format
  • DGN2 a 2D DGN format
When more than one output format is specified the master isometric will be written to IE_DGN:
IE_DGN = $(IE_STYLE_WORK)dgn/
The other formats will be written to the directory pointed to by IE_OUT variable:
IE_OUT = $(IE_DGN)others

Each of these variables can be configured in the Isoproj.cfg or style.cfg files.

The directory is automatically created when needed. Modifications are to be done on the master isometric (DGN).
  • The keyin command ISOEXT PUBLISH will re-publish the additional output formats in the directory specified by the IE_OUT variable.
  • The key in command ISOEXT PUBLISH * will re-publish all DGNs present in the directory of the active DGN.
Note: Key Ins are as listed in View Isometric topic.
