-
In I-Configure, define the GED Configuration (Interactive) project default for the IsogenDB project. 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, select Project > Show Project Pipelines.
-
Select Get External Data
on the Isogen Database View window toolbar. 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 run the GED function by right-clicking the selected pipeline selecting Get External Data in the context menu.
-
You can also run the GED function from the command line. You must provide the full path location to the Smart Isometrics 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.
