Isometric Processor
If the user will turn off all auto split options, the sheet number columns will remain visible, but the grouping headers will be removed.
The groups may be collapsed and expanded by double-clicking the header or by clicking the arrow symbol at the full right (after the last column).
Toolbar Commands
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Start | Starts Isometric generation process.
After completing the Isometric generation, the message 'Isometric generated successfully' displays in the Progress Message column and a green check mark displays next to the name as shown above. |
Pause | Pauses the isometric generation process. Button is
active only if the isometric generation process has begun.
When you click on the Start button again, the isometric generation process will resume on the paused Isosheets. It will display a ' Paused' message in the Progress Message column |
Cancel |
Cancels the isometric generation process. Only active if an isometric generation is in progress. It will display a 'Cancel' message in the Progress Message column. |
Post All in ProjectWise | Posts all of the successfully created isometric drawings to ProjectWise. |
Show All Drawings from Output Folder | Each time an isometric is processed, the drawing is saved to a define output folder. Click this option to display all of the drawings in the folder which will include earlier version of the current drawings listed. When not enabled, only the drawings processed in the current session will display. |
Context Menu
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Show Isometric | When you click on a successfully generated isometric
and select this option, the OpenPlant Isoextractor application launches and
loads the selected isometric drawing for viewing.
Note: Once the
isometric is loaded, you can modify and reposition the labels/leader lines as
desired.
By default, a 3D DGN file is produced. Once the isometric is
opened in the Isoextractor, it can be saved to other formats. See the
View Isometric topic for
additional information.
|
Show Isometric (ACAD) | Lets you open an isometric in a .dwg format. If you are creating your isometrics with AutoPLANT then the isometric will be opened in the AutoCad application. For OpenPlant users, the .dwg file will be opened in the OpenPlant Isoextractor application. |
Production Log | This
log file is generated along with the isometric drawing and
contains information about the generation process.
If the Log Isometric Dataset option was enabled in the Options dialog, then a complete dataset of information is included in the Production Log file which can be used to help debug any issues that may occur during the isometric creation process. |
Intermediate File | Displays a log file providing information which can be used to help debug any issues that may occur during the isometric creation process. |
Open Containing Folder | Opens the style work file root directory for the selected isometric in Windows Explorer. |
PCF File | Opens the PCF file for the selected isometric. |
Post to ProjectWise | Posts the selected Isometric to the
ProjectWise folder defined in the
Project > Root Storage Folder field in the
Project Configuration dialog.
Note: If the
isometric generation fails,
OpenPlant Isometrics Manager still allows
you to post it in
ProjectWise if the
Allow To Post To ProjectWise if Iso Generation
Fails variable is set to
True in the
Project Configuration dialog.
Known Issue:
Important: Known Issue — There is an issue
when trying to post an isometric to a
ProjectWise repository which has both an
OpenPlant 3D and a
ProjectWise enabled
OpenPlant PID (OPPID) project associated
with it. In this scenario users who have Plant Framework (SS3 or earlier
versions) installed on their machine have seen the following error message
display:
If you need to work with both Plant Framework and OPIM on
your machine, then either of the following solutions will solve the problem.
'ap_doclink: Project Not Found' |
Change Style To | Allows you to change the style for isosheets which have not been processed yet. Select a style from the list as shown: |
Move selected Isometric(s) to the recycle bin | Moves the selected isometric from the Isometric Processor grid. |
Properties | Displays the following Properties dialog listing
properties for the selected isosheet.
Properties have been organized into collapsible/expandable groups and a description of the selected property displays at the bottom of dialog. |
Design States [Technical Preview]
This is a PlantSight specific workflow and requires a Connected Workset. In your workset at $(_USTN_WORKSETSTANDARDS)OpenPlant\ApplicationDb you will see a DesignStates.json file which defines design state workflow. To enable the feature you need to point OP_DESIGNSTATES_FILE to the json file.
OP_DESIGNSTATES_FILE = $(OPENPLANT_WORKSET_STANDARDS)ApplicationDb/DesignStates.json
In the DesignStates.json file you can define the revision format per design state, the corresponding state and how the current state will transition to the next state. In the below example, you can transition from In Design to In Analysis or In Checking.
Once the output is generated all components are update in PlantSight and component Design State is updated.
