In I-Configure, define the GED Configuration (Interactive) project default for the IsogenDB project. For more information, see Set project defaults in the I-Configure Help.

Select a pipeline in the Isogen Database View window. Use the CTRL and SHIFT keys to select multiple pipelines.
If the Isogen Database View window is not open, click Project > Show Project Pipelines.
-
Click Get External Data
. Alternatively, right-click the selected pipeline, and then select Get External Data in the context menu.
If the checkout status of the pipeline is Checked Out, the software performs the Get External Data (GED) function on the POD file from the Work folder. However, if the status of the pipeline Checked In/Pending, the software first checks out the file before performing the GED function on the POD file.
You can also run the GED function from the command line. You must provide the full
path location to the Spoolgen executable file, the pipeline identifier, the isometric directory, the project name,
and the full path location to the GED configuration file. If the file should be checked
in to the project database after GED is performed, you must also indicate that in
the command line. Otherwise, the file remains checked out.
Spoolgen example:
"C:\Program Files\Intergraph Smart\Isometrics\Intergraph Smart Isometrics.exe" "P-1ged3" /getexternaldata /isodirectory C:\Users\Pubic\SampleIsoDir /project PipelineProject "C:\Users\Public\SampleIsoDir\PipelineProject\Data\Get External Data\GetExternalData.xml" /checkin
Smart Isometrics example:
"C:\Program Files\Intergraph Smart\Spoolgen\Intergraph Spoolgen.exe" "P-1ged3" /getexternaldata /isodirectory C:\Users\Pubic\SampleIsoDir /project PipelineProject "C:\Users\Public\SampleIsoDir\PipelineProject\Data\Get External Data\GetExternalData.xml" /checkin
