Hello,

I think I have a workaround for this issue. 

As long as you have tagged your pipe supports in the model, you can modify the IsoConfig.xml to display that tag number that has been entered.

Open the IsoConfig.xml file for the Iso style you are using. For example:

<project name>\Isometric\Check_ANSI-C\IsoConfig.xml

(You can use Windows Notepad or XML Notepad to make the changes)

Search for "SUPPORTSTANDARD"

It should find this line here:

<!-- Pipe support standard
-->
<ComponentScheme Name="SupportStandard" AnnotationStyle="Standard" Format="{0}" Grouping="true" Alignment="FlatHorizontal" LeaderStyle="Always" Filter="Support" Fields="SUPPORTSTANDARD"/>

Change the value for Fields from "SUPPORTSTANDARD" to "TAG" as shown below:

<!-- Pipe support standard
-->
<ComponentScheme Name="SupportStandard" AnnotationStyle="Standard" Format="{0}" Grouping="true" Alignment="FlatHorizontal" LeaderStyle="Always" Filter="Support" Fields="TAG"/>

The support tag will be shown by the BoM annotation:
