The procedure to start Dialog Editor is provided below. This application can be launched from the AutoPLANT 3D menu/toolbar or from the Windows Start menu.

1. From your Windows Start menu, select Bentley > Plant > Tools > Dialog Editor from the AutoPLANT 3D menu or toolbar to start the Dialog Editor application shown below.

This application can also be launched directly from within the Script Editor by selecting the Edit >

Insert New Dialog command. This command will start the Dialog Editor, enable you to define a new dialog instance, then exit the Dialog Editor and automatically insert the Basic statements that define the dialog instance into your script in the Script Editor.

You can also modify a dialog that is already defined in a script by simply selecting the statements that define the dialog in the editor, then selecting the Edit > Edit Dialog command. This will display the dialog instance in the Dialog Editor. When you have finished modifying the dialog, select File >

Update to update the dialog statements in the script. Then select File > Exit and Return to close the Dialog Editor.

The AutoPLANT Drawing Flattener is a standalone application, which must be purchased and authorized separately. AutoPLANT PIPING/RACEWAYS provide a set of commands in their Drafting Tools > Hide Viewport submenu that contain a minimal subset of this functionality on an individual drawing/viewport basis.

The Drawing Flattener enables you to create flat DWG file that corresponds with a user-selected model layout stored in the source drawing (DWG file) with a user-defined scale. The drawing layout is a rendering of the flat drawing in the view only and cannot be edited. The Drawing Flattener creates AutoCAD 2D entities for the flattened drawing enabling you to edit the result.

Therefore, you will see the creation of lines, arcs, circles, etc. in the flattened output.

This application will operate with AutoCAD drawings (DWG files) only. The source for the application is DWG file(s) with layers, while the destination is DWG file(s) created according to the selected layer and scale of the drawings.

To start the flattener, select Bentley > Plant > Tools > Drawing Flattener from your Windows Start menu.

The Flattener main dialog provides a streamlined interface. The main dialog consists of a grid with columns that describe how each source drawing will be flattened, and a set of menu commands that enable you to configure these settings and additional flattening preferences. The display of the Log and Status areas at the bottom of the dialog may be toggled ON/OFF via the View menu.

The grid is where you setup the drawings to be processed by the flattener. Drawings are

add/removed from the grid using the File > Add Files to Listand Remove Files from List options. The drawing name will appear in the Source column.

The Dest. Folder column indicates the location where the flattened drawings will be stored. This may be changed for drawings individually by double-clicking within the field, or may be changed for a group of drawings by highlighting the drawings in the grid, then executing the Group Edit Selected command from the Edit menu.

The Dest. Filename column indicates the name for the flattened output drawing file. You can modify this file name for each file individually by double-clicking within the field, or you can assign a prefix and/or suffix that will automatically be added to the actual file name via the Edit >

Preferences dialog.

The Layout column provides a list of AutoCAD layouts that were created in each source file. Click within this field, then select the layout that you want to use to create your flattened drawing. If you add additional layouts to a file, you can use the Refresh Layouts for Selected command in the File menu to update the drop-down list of layouts shown for the selected files.

The Scale column indicates the scale that will be applied in the creation of the flattened output file.

You can double-click within this field and manually enter a scale value, or leave the default Auto scale, which will use the source layout's last view port scale. The default value may be assigned for this field via the Edit > Preferences dialog.

The remaining commands in the menu are primarily provided to enable you to manipulate the column data in the grid. The only exception is the Edit > Preferences command, which enables you to set up defaults, and more importantly assign the hidden line removal parameters used by the application.

EXPLORER, which may be purchased separately, is an interactive 3D viewer for large models and sets of models as shown below. You can load multiple models varying from thousands to millions of triangles in size and interact with them at a guaranteed frame rate.

EXPLORER supports multiple file formats via a plugin mechanism. As well as its own native file formats, AutoCAD’s DWG and DXF files and 3D Studio’s 3DS files are supported.

A range of navigating and viewing controls enable even the largest and most complex model to be explored with ease.
