Background

Some user may have requirement to run AutoCAD command by batch process on generated isometrics so that they can add extra information on generated isometrics by using AutoCAD Script (***.scr) file.

Following steps will help to run AutoCAD script while processing isometric in DWG format.

Steps to Accomplish

Edit Isoextractor.bat file.

  1. Go to following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86) \Bentley\OpenPlantIsometricsManager V8i\OpenPlantIsometricsManager\IsoExtractor
  2. Copy Isoextarctor.bat file and rename previous Isoextarctor.bat file to Org.Isoextarctor.txt file.
  3. Open IsoExtractor.bat file for editing (right click on edit button)
  4. Add following entries:
    IF [%4] == [] goto openseed

    :genIso
    OpenPlantIsoExtractor.exe "-wc%config%" "-ws_USTN_PROJECTSROOT=%PROJROOT%" "-wu%~1" "-wp%~2" "-wsPW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION=1" "-ws_SP_DOCMGMT=1" "-wsPW_MG_CFG=%PW_MG_CFG%" -WAISOEXT "-wsSTYLE=%~3' '%~4'

    set a=%~4
    set aa=%a:.l00=*.dwg%
    set dwg=%aa:l00=dgn%
    for %%i in ("%dwg%") do START C:\"Program Files"\"Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016"\acad.exe "%%i" /b C:\TEST\INSERT-proper.scr
    goto End

    :openIso
    START "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\acad.exe" "%~4"
    goto End

    :openseed
    OpenPlantIsoExtractor.exe "-wc%config%" "-ws_USTN_PROJECTSROOT=%PROJROOT%" "-wu%~1" "-wp%~2" "-wsPW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION=1" "-      ws_SP_DOCMGMT=1" "-wsPW_MG_CFG=%PW_MG_CFG%" -WAISOEXT "-wsSTYLE=%~3' '%~4'  
    goto End 

    :getConfigData
    OpenPlantIsoExtractor.exe "-wc%config%" "-ws_USTN_PROJECTSROOT=%PROJROOT%" "-wu%~1" "-wp%~2" -WABentley.Isometrics.MSAddIn "%~3" "%~4"
    goto End
    :End 
    exit 0
  5. Save the isoextractor.bat file.
  6. Go to project location and open “Isoproj.cfg” file.
    Ex: %project%\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics
  7. L00 AND DGN file path should be on same location

    Note: If isometric generation path change to customize path, then L00 files path should be on same path.
  8. Generate isometric by using following settings.



    Note:    “Do not Split” option not work here. Use anyone above highlighted option as per requirement.
  9. For using Do Not Split option, need to edit Isoextractor.bat file as per below.
    set aa=%a:.l00=-*.dwg%
    change to
    set aa=%a:.l00=*.dwg%
  10. Save the file and generate isometric by using do not split option.
