Change BOP annotation to meters in Ortho drawings?

Hello!

 

I want to define an expression that shows the bottom of pipe annotation in meters in ortho drawings and not millimeters which is default.

 

I have used the default BOP annotation as a template and created my own annotation format as seen in the attached image. Right now it looks like "  vg +2848 m (since the numbers are in millimeters), but I want it to look like  vg +2.848 m".

 

Simply, I want to add an expression to the annotation format which divides the BOP value by 1000. But I do not know what to write to achieve this.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

I use Plant 3D 2014.bop.jpg

Hi there,

Have a look at this link, there's a video here that may help you.  It worked fine for me, but like the gentleman who started the thread, I'm still looking for a way to show the elevation with only 2 decimal places.  At the moment, it comes in with eight!!

Hope it helps!
