You can use the command line to generate an isometric drawing of any pipeline in the project. An example of the required syntax is shown below:

<full path location and filename of the product executable file> <ID of the pipeline in the Workflow database> /generate <name of the drawing style> /isodirectory <full path location and name of the isometric directory> /project <name of the project>

  • The software accepts either / or - (for example, /generate or -generate).

  • /isodirectory and /project specify the isometric directory and project location in which the file is located.

  1. Open the Command Prompt window.

    SHARED Tip To display the Command Prompt window, click the Start button, and then type command in the Search box. Select Command Prompt in the search results listing.

  2. Type the command line parameters. For example, type:

    "C:\Program Files\Intergraph Smart\Spoolgen\Intergraph Spoolgen.exe" "SG-T1" /generate Check /isodirectory c:\Users\Public\SampleIsoDir /project SpoolgenProject

  3. Press ENTER.

    The software generates the isometric drawing and writes the results of the import process to a log file called SGBatchImportFromCommandLine.log. The log file is saved in the %Temp% folder.

  4. To view the isometric drawing, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the appropriate folder location, and then double-click the isometric drawing filename.

    The software opens your default 2D CAD system software and displays the drawing.

  5. To view the drawing message file, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the appropriate folder location, and then double-click the drawing message filename.

    The software opens your default text editor and displays the message file.

  • You can also use command line parameters to generate multiple drawings. In the following example, two pipelines are specified:

    "C:\Program Files\Intergraph Smart\Spoolgen\Intergraph Spoolgen.exe" "SG-T1" "SG-T2" /generate Final-Basic /isodirectory C:\Users\Public\SampleIsoDir /project S5Tutorial

  • The software automatically saves the isometric drawing in the Drawings folder and the message file in the Messages folder that correspond to the isometric style that you specified in the command line parameters. For example, if you specified the Check drawing style, the software saves the isometric drawing in the C:\SampleIsoDir\SpoolgenProject\Check\Drawings folder and the message file in the C:\SampleIsoDir\SpoolgenProject\Check\Messages folder.

  • As with the isometric drawings that you generate using the Generate Drawings command within the software, you can use SmartSketch Viewer as your default drawing viewer tool. For more information about using SmartSketch Viewer to view isometric drawings, see View an isometric drawing.
