How to modify drawing area on the border file on an AutoPIPE Stress Isometric using OPIM?
This feature is related to border file. In order to modify drawing area 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
AutoPIPE CONNECT 10.01 and higher
Choose to make modifications at the Program level or the Profile Preference level.
Modifications made at the Program Level typically requires IT assistance in suspending or providing special read / write permissions to any file located in the installation folder path-name (ex. C:\Program Files...). If for some reason the Profile Preferences must be reset, the files will be copied from the Program level installation folder to the Profile Preference folders. If Program level files become corrupted then the program will need to be uninstalled and reinstalled. In addition, recommend to first backup all Profile Preferences files and then to reset. Note, when AutoPIPE is actually running, files are read from the Profile Preferences level folder.

Modifications made at the Profile Preference level can be performed without special permission and only affects that user's profile. In addition, if for any reason the files at this level needs to be reset, it is easily accomplished without having to uninstall and reinstall the application by using the Reset defaults on the Profile Preference dialog.
