USING THIS DOCUMENT All IGC applications recognize supported file formats, their file extensions, and any related parameters through the Myrdrv.ini driver configuration file. This document contains information for all drivers (DLL files) listed in all Mrydrv.ini files for all products.

Default install locations for the familiy of products are:

Brava! Enterprise : C:\Program Files\IGC\Brava!\Brava! Enterprise JobProcessor Brava! Desktop: C:\Program Files\IGC\Brava! Desktop Brava! Reader: C:\Program Files\IGC\Brava! Reader Free DWG Viewer: C:\Program Files\IGC\Free DWG Viewer IGC Writer: C:\Program Files\IGC\IGC Writer Redact-It Desktop: C:\Program Files\IGC\Redact-It Desktop MYRIAD: C:\Program Files\IGC\MYRIAD

Please note that your product installation may include more drivers than are being used by the specific application. The settings described in this document only pertain to the particular drivers (formats) that are enabled with your product license. For example, Redact-It Desktop may include a dozen or more drivers, but is currently only licensed to use the PFD2DL and LT2DL driver. Changing the value for an unlicensed driver contained in the Myrdrv.ini file has no affect on the product's functions or behaviors.

The Myri Drivers section of this document lists the original IGC drivers used by the MYRIAD product and are heavily CAD oriented. Some of these drivers are still in use in products that use CDL. The naming convention used for these driver files can be recognized as myri.dll.

The CDL Drivers section pertains to products that convert file formats using IGC's common display list (CDL). The naming convention used for these driver files can be recognized as 2DL.dll

For all sections except [idrivers], the actual settings are at the end of the section, following the explanation of the parameters and their values. Lines preceded by a pound sign (#) are ignored by the applications, such as the lines of explanation. Unless otherwise noted, all settings are in the following format:

Format: Parameter=VALUE

Example: ParseDXFExtents=OFF

The following sections are in the Myrdrv.ini file (any sections not listed in this document should not be modified by the user):

[LOADER-SPECIFIC DISPLAY OPTIONS] [loader-specific display options] Description

This section allows certain display option defaults to be set according to specific loaders. The following display option keys are entered into this section, followed by a list of loaders

Option Examples

DisabledColorConflictResolution

DisabledColorConflictResolution=inso2dl,myrise.dll,myrihpgl.dll,myricgm.dll

In this example, INSO (Oracle Outside-In) files, SolidEdge, HPGL, and CGM files load with the Color Conflict Resolution feature turned off by default

CADColorScheme

The background index refers to the list of colors defined in the [Background Palette] section of the myriad32.ini. The three valid indexes are 0, 1, and 2.

The foreground index refers to the list of colors defined in the [Foreground Palette] section of the myriad32.ini file. The valid index range is 0 through 15. The foreground color index only affects black and white raster files. Vector files are not affected as each line in a vector file has its own color definition.

CADColorScheme=0,15,myrime10.dll,myridgn.dll In this example, the listed CAD files ( ME10 and DGN) load with the following default color scheme:

Value Description

0 Color index used for the background color (0=black)

LineStyleRepeatFreq Value Default

LineStyleRepeatFreq=1.0 Description

Used in conjunction with PlotSizeForLinestyleAdjust = U, this specifies how many times the linestyle pattern should repeat per drawing unit. The setting must be a number between .01 and 12 (the default is 1). For example using LineStyleRepeatFreq = 2, the linestyle pattern - will be - - per each drawing unit (it will be scaled down to fit within the drawing unit.

Note: Because the pattern is scaled to fit the drawing unit, repeating the pattern in each unit may degrade the linestyle appearance.

TrueLineWidth Value Default


Specifies the line width to use for ME10 files. See also LineStyle and Color below.

[AUTO-RECOGNIZE FILE FORMAT TESTS] When the application tries to load a file with no extension or an undocumented extension (an extension which is not listed in Myrdrv.ini), the application tries to determine what file format it is. The application reads a section of data from the beginning or header of the file, and then performs a series of pattern-matching tests on the data. Each test has an extension and a confidence level associated with it. If more than one test matches, the format extension used is the one associated with the highest confidence test. If none of the tests succeeds, the standard applications "Unrecognized Extension" dialog appears.

To Configure Tests

This section contains a series of test entries in the format shown below (no spaces are required):

Format: Testnumber=extension, start search offset, stop search offset, "search string", confidence

Example: Test1=xyz,32,64,"\22XYZ\22\2CVersion 4.0",100


26

number A number that differentiates the test from other tests. The tests are performed in numerical order. Putting tests with 100 confidence at the beginning of the list optimizes performance. See confidence below.

start search offset The offset, from the beginning of the file, to start searching for the search string.

stop search offset The offset, from the beginning of the file, to stop searching for the search string. If you want to search only at one spot, set the start and stop offsets to the same number.

search string A double quoted string, or byte pattern, to search for. The string is case sensitive and may not contain a double quote("), a comma(,), a backslash(\), or any non-printable character. To represent these values, use hexadecimal notation with no leading or following spaces. For example:

comma = \2C

double quote = \22

backslash = \5C

number 13 = \0D

So, if you want to represent:

"XYZ",Version 4.0

You need to enter:

\22XYZ\22\2CVersion 4.0

confidence A rating from 1 to 100. The number represents the likelihood that success of the test indicates the truth of the format for the file. If more than one test succeeds, then the test with the highest confidence is the deciding test. If the confidence level is 100, the application stops testing and go with that answer. Therefore, putting tests with 100 confidence at the beginning of the list optimizes performance.

Additional Options

In the MYRIAD32.ini or Myruser.ini file there is a section called [Auto-Recognize File Format Options]. If the Prompt On Success parameter is set to TRUE the application asks the user if they want to load the file using the detected format or pick a different format themselves. The default for this key is FALSE.

27

CDL DRIVERS The following sections are specific to IGC products that use CDL (Common Display List) and do not pertain to MYRIAD version 7.0 or earlier. CDL is used in MYRIAD beginning with version 8.0.

[CDL_SECTION] The [cdl_section] section sets general driver configuration parameters.

MaxRasterDPI Value Default

Integer MaxRasterDPI=600 Description

Determines the maximum dots per inch (dpi) for raster images embedded in a CDL published file. Applies to documents converted from Office formats and PDF only. Images with a higher resolution than the specified DPI are re-sampled down and images with a lower resolution are not adjusted. This setting can have a large impact on how small the CDL published file size is, how quickly the file downloads, and how quickly it views/prints from the client software. The default setting is 600 dpi. If you require a higher dpi than 600, you MUST edit this value to set it higher.

Note: 96 DPI is an efficient setting to use if your primary usage is to only view images at 100% zoom level and do not print them since many monitors have 96 DPI resolution (or calculate your video card's pixel width / monitor's visible width in inches = your monitor dpi resolution). If you set a lower resolution (such as 96 DPI) and then use the viewer to print a file containing raster images to a printer that has 600 DPI resolution, the image will view fine on the monitor but will have reduced fidelity on the printer due to the printer having greater resolution than the published image.

ForceToJpg and JpgFidelity only affect PDF and published files (native application processed). With the following two parameters, you can force all color raster files to be written out as JPG:

ForceToJpg Value Default


Tells the application whether to convert color raster files to JPG.

ForceEmbedTrueTypeFonts Value Default


This setting tells the application whether to force true type fonts to be embedded. If set to True, all true type fonts are embedded regardless if there is an exact match on the system doing the converting. The closest match to the font requested is used if an exact match is not found. To use this flag, the EmbedTrueTypeFonts setting must be set to TRUE.

Value Description

True All true type fonts are force embedded

False True type fonts are not force embedded

MaximumPageDimension Value Default
