Problem:

How to change the dimension line color on an AutoPIPE Stress Isometric using OPIM?

Solution:

This feature was related to border file. In order to change color of dimension line you have to perform following steps

1. In AutoPIPE launch Openplant Isometric Manager from menu “File > Launch Openplant Isometric Manager”
2. Open any border file you want to modify from “[Installation Directory]\isoextractor\Borders\...” i.e. I have selected DGN\A0BORD.DGN
3. From menu select Element>Dimension Styles. See snapshot below

4. On Dimension Styles dialog activate predefined style name “DimStyle”

5. Select Symbology tab
6. Now you can change the color of

a. Dimension Lines
b. Text
c. Extension Lines
d. Terminators

7. Save the change on pressing the save button on Dimension Styles dialog.
8. Close OpenPlant Isometric Manager.
9. Make sure to use the same border during export to Stress Isometric using AutoPIPE

Note:

1. Line Style is based on Microsoft Line style format:

 

2. Color is based on Microsoft color chart
