Creating Renditions
You can create a new rendition (PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or CALS) from any DGN, DWG, Word, Excel, PDF, raster image, or InterPlot Plot Set (IPS) file in the datasource.
- In the document list,
select the documents you want to process.
You can select any combination of documents, document sets, folders, and work areas in the document list.
You can also select items from the results of a search.
When a document set, folder, or work area is selected, the documents in those items will be processed.
- Select Create rendition from the action menu (...) next to any selected item.
- In the
Create rendition dialog, select a
rendition profile from the
Profile list, and click
Create.
Rendition profiles contain all of the necessary processing instructions for creating renditions. When you select a profile, default settings are applied. If a particular setting has multiple options, or if a setting does not have a default, you can change the default setting as needed. You can also turn on Send e-mail notification on completion if you want an email to be sent to you when the renditions have been created.
When you click Create, all of the selected documents, along with the processing instructions (the selected rendition settings) will be sent to the server for processing.
Create rendition dialog settings
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Profile | The rendition profile selected here controls which
rendition settings will be used as the processing instructions for creating the
renditions.
Each rendition profile contains a set of predefined profile components. Selecting a rendition profile automatically sets which profile components will be used. You can either use the default profile components, or change them as needed if there is more than one of a particular component. |
Presentation | The selected presentation component specifies which InterPlot Settings file(s) to use (if any) to create renditions. InterPlot Settings files can define such things as the plot area, size/scale, pen table, design script, and so on. |
Format | The selected format component specifies the file type or types that will be created from the selected source files. |
File name | The selected file name component specifies how the newly created rendition documents will be named. |
Destination | The selected destination component specifies where in ProjectWise the newly created rendition document(s) will be stored. |
Folder | Displays the actual destination folder, as defined by the selected destination component. You can click the Change folder button to change the destination folder, if permissions allow. |
Send e-mail notification on completion | If on, an email will be sent to you when the documents have been processed (when the renditions have been created). |
