You are going to have to adjust some of your filters in your isoconfig.xml file. Here's an example from the out-of-the-box filters:
Before:
<Filter Name="Flange" Value="Type='Flange'" /> <Filter Name="BOMFitting" Value="NOT (Type='Pipe' OR Type='Pipe-Fixed' OR Type='Gasket' OR Type='REINFORCEMENT-PAD' OR Type='Flange' OR Type='Bolt' OR Type LIKE 'Valve*' OR Type='Olet' OR Type LIKE 'Instrument*' OR Type='Support')" />
After:
<Filter Name="Flange" Value="Type='Flange' OR Type='Flange-Blind'" /> <Filter Name="BOMFitting" Value="NOT (Type='Pipe' OR Type='Pipe-Fixed' OR Type='Gasket' OR Type='REINFORCEMENT-PAD' OR Type='Flange' OR Type='Flange-Blind' OR Type='Bolt' OR Type LIKE 'Valve*' OR Type='Olet' OR Type LIKE 'Instrument*' OR Type='Support')" />
The 'AggregatedList' area of the isoconfig.xml will show which filters are used for your BOM tables.
Hi,
I add these expressions for my IsoConfig.xml file, and after I saved it for the my project. Unfortunately, this doesn't working for me.
What's wrong?
Can anybody help me with a useful advice,pls?
Thanks!

You 'added' them or 'replaced' the original filters? You'll need to replace the definitions.
I added the original value with the expression specified above ( OR Type = .....). How can I replace it? Thanks!
I'm confused about what you've done so far - it sounds like maybe you have more than one filter with the same name.
The answer I posted above shows how to modify the default filters in the isoconfig.xml file so that the blind flanges group with Flanges rather than fittings. The 'Before' code box in the answer shows what these two filters look like originally. The 'After' code box shows what these same filters look like after modification. If you modify your file the same way, you should get the same results.
If you have further troubles, you should post your entire isoconfig.xml file for troubleshooting.
I send you the modified IsoConfig.xml file. Please check it,if you can figure out what's wrong, please add your advice. Thanks!
It looks correct except for the text case. It may or may not matter here but Plant 3D is sometimes case-sensitive when comparing text strings.
