Through the normal project setup this is not possible and I am not aware of where in the IsoConfig.xml this might be configured. I will check on this though and see if this is possible by editing the xml. In the mean time the workaround would be to manually edit the text once the Iso is created.

By default blind flanges are annotated only by the part number.

You want to add a prefix (e.g. 'BF') to the part number in blind flanges annotations.
Here is what you need to add in the isoconfig.xml file

To solve this task you have to configure the isoconfig.xml-file of your iso style. Follow these steps:

• Open the Windows Explorer and switch to <project foder>\isometric\<used iso style folder>
• Open the isoconfig.xml of your with a text or xml editor
• Switch to 'Themes - Theme (Default) - Annotations - AnnotationSchemes' and add this new component scheme:
  • <ComponentScheme Name="BlindFlange" AnnotationStyle="SRectangle" Format="BF{0}" Enabled="true" Grouping="true" Alignment="FlatHorizontal" LeaderStyle="Always" Filter="BlindFlange" Fields="PartNumber" />
• Switch to 'Filter' and add this new filter here:
  • <Filter Name="BlindFlange" Value="Type='FLANGE-BLIND'">
• Search for the filter called 'PartFitting' and add this statement to the expresssion:
  • AND TYPE NOT LIKE 'FLANGE-BLIND'
  • This will suppress the default annotation without a prefix for blind flanges
• Save the file
