    BUG: Adv ISO Create Option: Override location v IsoMessages

    We have a plant that somehow got modeled with the datum at an arbitary location a kilometer and a half away with north pointing to negative x and 0 datum at RL 32.5m

     

    Ok I thought no worries plant can now deal with that in the Advanced Iso Options

    offset x 0.5km and offset y 1.3km and 270 degree rotation plug in aok and give correct north orientation on the sheet and correct eastings and northings.

    However there appears to be no option to have an adjustment in the z direction to fix the EL's

    to cover this I have put a note on the ISO relating RL:32.5m = EL+ 0 (not ideal but will do at a pinch)

    The main problem is:

    When the ISO is dropped without the locatoin overide, the Iso Messages that are attached to the pipeline come out AOK

    However, when the location override is used, the Iso Messages do NOT show on the ISO's with the pipe on it. They jump onto a sheet of there own. The sheet looks like a blank drawing sheet, but when i zoom extents, there is a 1.5km long leader across the sheet with the isocircle symbol block at the end with the isomessage info as attributes. One IsoMessage per extra sheet!

     

    This is a massive show stopper on a huge project...need a workaround or fix ASAP

    any help appriciated
