Background
In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, user created different pipelines with different Insulations and its thicknesses. Users requirement is to use pipeline Insulation and its thickness as drawing attribute and use it for various tagging purposes.
Steps to Accomplish
- Open node2da.txt and textnodes.txt files from your Isometrics style's config folder.
For OpenPlant Modeler:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\[...]\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\[...]\Config
For AutoPLANT Modeler:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\[...]\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\[...]\config - Create two new attributes in textnodes.txt file and then map them with new textnodes in node2da.txt file.
- At the beginning of textnode.txt file are information how drawing attribute definition can be created. With the help of this information I have combined existing attributes in to one.
<DA name> = <expression>
P_INSULATION = *(INSULATION)
P_INSULATION_THICKNESS = *(INSULATION_THICKNESS) - Now map these drawing attribute with new textnodes in node2da.txt file
- Open same projects styles isoseed.dgn file and place this new text node in required position
- Save all changes, close isoseed, generate Isometrics and verify the results.
