Problem:

What are the steps required to change the company's logo on a Stress Isometric drawing created by AutoPIPE?

Solution:

Updating company logo on a drawing requires updating the seed files used for creating AutoPIPE's stress isometrics.

There are 2 sets of seed files, these files are located in:

1. AutoPIPE's Installation folder

2. User's computer profile folder

The program uses the seed files from User's computer profile folder. This directory can be explored by using AutoPIPE's Tools->Settings->Preferences command. When the dialog appears press "Explore" button at the end of the “Program Data Path”, shown below:

When the Folder opens, navigate to this folder

C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AutoPIPE CONNECT v12\isoextractor\BORDERS

The DGN folder contains seed files used in isometrics that contain context reports (selected by checking “Context data with drawing (Context)” option. When not using this option, seed files from “NOTABLE” directory are used.

Naming convention:

AutoPIPE provides a number of predefined border sizes to be used as specified in AutoPIPE's isometric dialog under “Settings> General Tab> Plot> Drawing Size" drop down listing.

Here the “Full data report file” is used when “All data on separate sheet” is selected in the “Plot” options.

Changing Logo on the isometrics file

Note: instructions were performed with AutoPIPE 12.02.00.14 and OPIM 10.05.00.27

In this example we will modify the ANSI A isometrics file

Creating the isometrics for a sample walkthrud.dat model gives the old Bentley logo in bottom right corner of the drawing.
