When this variable is defined, Isogen Out does not display the Select Isogen Style dialog box.

Select Isogen Style Dialog Box

Controls parameters for selecting Isogen projects, styles, and names of the automatically-generated isometrics. See I-Configure for more information on creating and managing these projects and styles.

Difference between I-Configure and Browse for Style:

I-Configure exports each time it is run, unless you change the export options within the style. The I-Configure option and the Browse for Style option both use the FLS file. With the I-Configure option, the software recreates the style each time it is exported. When selecting an ISOGENDEFAULTSTYLE, the software always displays the FLS as the default file because both use an FLS. When using the I-Configure style, you can use the attribute mapping abilities in the style. The software reads from the style.xml using Isogen’s Project Manager tool. The Browse for Style option does not use the attribute mapping abilities.

PCF Name

Specifies the name of the file. This allows you to name an isometric file if none of the components selected contain a line number. If the selected components contain line number information, then the software uses line number from the last selected component as the isometric file name.

Use ISOGENRESET to remove the sheet and part numbers and all Start/Stop signs from component iso information.

The DXF edit box enables you to name a portion of the output file. The name appends a series of numbers. Isogen might break up the selected components into multiple sheets which would require this numbering sequence.
