Using this Document

All Informative Graphics 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.
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<ext>.dll.
The CDL Drivers section pertains to products that convert file formats using ICC's common display list
(CDL). The naming convention used for these driver files can be recognized as <ext>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):

Idrivers
[idrivers]
The [idrivers] section identifies and maps file extensions to their specific import driver. You can
change, add, or remove file extensions in this section. The format for this section is shown below.
EXT=G, Path\Driver_name, "Description"
where EXT is the two or three character file extension used to identify the file type and G is the letter
indicating the kind of file:
G
H
F
M
T
S

=
=
=
=
=
=

Path\driver_name

Graphical
Hybrid
Folder
Markup
Text
System
The path and filename of the actual driver. The path is not necessary if the
driver is located in the applications executable directory.

Myrdrv.ini User Guide

"Description"

A description of the type of format the driver handles, generally, but not
always, beginning with the extension. This must be surrounded by quotes
and include spaces.
Example: dwg=G,myridwg.dll, DWG AutoCad Drawing

Myri Drivers
[loader-specific display options]
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.
Example:
DisabledColorConflictResolution=myriinso.dll
In this example, INSO (Oracle Outside-In) files load with the Color Conflict Resolution feature
turned off by default.
CADColorScheme=0,15,myridwf.dll,myrime10.dll,myridgn.dll
In this example, the listed CAD files (DWF, ME10, and DGN) load with the following default color
scheme:
0 is the color index used for the background color (0=black)
15 is the color index to use for the foreground color (15=white)
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.

AllowProgressiveTextSelection=myritxt.dll
This example sets the boolean AllowProgressiveTextSelection to true for myritxt which allows text
to be selected in the order it is read (vs. marking a rectangle and selecting any text that might be
under it).

[CAD]
This section explains and sets DXF and DWG driver configuration parameters. Descriptions of
parameters and their setting options are shown on the following page.

file and text will be rendered as lines instead of incorrect polygons.

Myrdrv.ini User Guide

ParseDxfExtents

ParseDwgExtents

LayoutSortOrder

TRUE

(Default) Type fonts are filled.

FALSE

True Type fonts are stroked.

Specifies for the myridwg.dll driver to pre-parse the DXF file for viewing
at extents. The majority of DXF files do not display the correct initial
extents so the default of this setting is ON to allow the IGC driver
(myridwg.dll) to parse through the file and calculate the minimum extents.
This slightly increases processing time.
ON

(Default) Parse DXF files for extents.

OFF

Do not parse DXF files for extents.

Specifies for the myridwg.dll driver to pre-parse the DWG file for viewing
at extents. Typically, the extents provided by AutoCad are larger than the
extents calculated by the IGC driver (myridwg.dll). A DWG file that is
viewed at extents will appear smaller when this parameter is set to the
default of OFF. You should turn this setting to ON if you are viewing
drawings that do not view with the correct extents usually older or
corrupt DWG files.
ON

Parse DWG files for extents.

OFF

(Default) Do not parse DWG files for extents.

Font<n,n>

Specifies font parameters. Each font is numbered 01 and 99 according to

the following format.
Unix_filename, DOS_filename
If no path is provided here, the path specified for FontPath in this section
is used. Unix and DOS paths are provided separately due to filename
restrictions on DOS FAT drive partitions.

PlotSizeForLinestyleAdjust Specifies whether to adjust the line style for the paper size or per drawing
unit.
<Size>
U

LineStyleRepeatFreq

Indicate the page size (e.g., J) to adjust the linestyle.

(Default) Indicates for the application to base the
linestyle pattern (e.g., - ) on the drawing unit. By
default, the application repeats the pattern only once per
unit, though that can be set using the
LineStyleRepeatFreq setting.

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:

UseDefaultFont

=
=

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

Indicates to use the font specified by the DefaultFont setting (see below) as
the default ME10 font. Any missing fonts are substituted with this font.
Note:
ON

The default font may be a different size or character type than the
missing font.

(Default) Do not fill fonts (use hollow fonts)

Integer value between 0 and 100.Provides finer control over font filling.
All text is filled that is larger or equal to the given value (measured in
points).
TextFillThreshold=10
Any text that has a font point size of 10 or larger gets filled. If the value is
zero, everything gets filled. If the value is 100 nothing gets filled.
The default value of this field is 22. Most text is smaller and therefore
does not get filled.

[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

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

13

Myrdrv.ini User Guide

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.

[Text]
This section controls the MYRIAD Text driver (Myritxt.dll). This section does not exist in the
Myrdrv.ini by default, but can be added by the user at any time. The following options can be added:
Papersize

TabSpace

An integer value for the number of spaces to use for tabs. The default is 8.

WordWrap

Indicates whether to use word wrapping or not. The settings are TRUE or
FALSE, with TRUE (use word wrapping) as the default.

Numbering

Indicates whether to number the pages. The settings are TRUE or FALSE,
with FALSE (no page numbers) as the default.

Margin

Decimal values (in millimeters) for each margin, in the following order:
left, right, top, bottom. Use a space between each value, as shown in the
example below:
Margin=72.0 72.0 36.0 36.0

UseFormFeed

Indicates whether to interpret or ignore the form feed character. TRUE

indicates to interpret it, FALSE (default) indicates to ignore it.

CDL Drivers
The following sections are specific to 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.
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

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

TRUE

All color raster files are converted to JPG format.

FALSE

(Default) Only JPGs are written out as JPG.

JpgFidelity

Determines the file size and fidelity of the JPG file created by the PDF2DL or
publishing. Range is from 1-100 with 75 as the default.

MaxRasterDPI

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.
For example: MaxRasterDPI=600

15

Myrdrv.ini User Guide

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.
EmbedTrueTypeFonts
This setting tells the application whether to embed true type fonts during
conversion.
TRUE

True type fonts are embedded

FALSE

(Default) True type fonts are not embedded

ForceEmbedTrueTypeFonts
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
TRUE

All true type fonts are force embedded

FALSE

(Default) True type fonts are not force embedded

UnSortedTextDump
This setting, for Net-It Central, tells the application whether to sort text for export.
TRUE

Do not sort text for export

FALSE

(Default) Sort text for export

MaximumPageDimension
This setting tells CDL to limit the shorter and longer page dimension to the given
values. Units are in inches, represented by two numbers separated by a comma.
Default value: MaximumPageDimension=80,300
NonConcurrentLoaders
This setting tells CDL which drivers cannot be loaded concurrently. This setting
should NOT BE EDITED by end users!
Default value: NonConcurrentLoaders=dui2dl.dll;dwg2dl.dll
