Isometric BOM-exact length of pipe

[Anonymous]

Guys,

Is there a way i can change the default quantity (total length) of pipe on the BOM of the isometric, changing it from Meter to Millimeter.

Thanks

i don't have the answer for your question but me i have one for you! How did you seperate your pipe size in the BOM

I always have label #1 for every pipe nominal size and grouped in item #1 in BOM. I tried different description and it always group it in item #1 with 2 description side by side....

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Open IsoConfig.xml of your style format, and search the following lines, change scale in the las line from 0,001 to 1:

Precision: (string); Options include Precision<N> where N is in the range of 1 to 9.
-->
<!-- 'Prefix': (string); The prefix that will be added to the formatted measurement. -->
<!-- 'Suffix': (string); The suffix that will be appended to the formatted measurement. -->
<!-- 'Scale': (double); The scale factor that will apply to the measurement. e.g. 0.001. -->
<!-- 'Decimal': (string); The decimal separator. e.g. '.', ',' or ' '. -->
<Style Name="Imperial" UnitFormat="Architectural" Precision="Precision5" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
<Style Name="ImperialSize" UnitFormat="Fractional" Precision="Precision5" Prefix="" Suffix="&quot;" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
<Style Name="ImperialPipeLength" UnitFormat="Architectural" Precision="Precision5" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
<Style Name="ImperialPipeLengthAlt" UnitFormat="Architectural" Precision="Precision1" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
<Style Name="Metric" UnitFormat="Decimal" Precision="Precision1" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
<Style Name="MetricSize" UnitFormat="Decimal" Precision="Precision1" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
<Style Name="MetricPipeLength" UnitFormat="Decimal" Precision="Precision1" Prefix="" Suffix="mm" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
<Style Name="MetricPipeLengthAlt" UnitFormat="Decimal" Precision="Precision2" Prefix="" Suffix="M" Scale="0.001" Decimal="." />
</Styles>

Hi All members and Autodesk.

Above is not correct solution

Where is the switch to control this?

I don't want to edit the config file this way.

I juist want to switch between,

<Style Name="MetricPipeLength" UnitFormat="Decimal" Precision="Precision1" Prefix="" Suffix="mm" Scale="1" Decimal="." />

<Style Name="MetricPipeLengthAlt" UnitFormat="Decimal" Precision="Precision2" Prefix="" Suffix="M" Scale="0.001" Decimal="." />
  

Some of my clients has M and MM in the same project.

And where can I change the precision of digits behind the dot?

Now there is 1 digit behind the dot and for MM units that's weird.
I cant show an size of 850.6 MM this should be 851 MM

where can I change this?

Cam someone point me to the switch responsible for the 2 lines above?

Kind regards

UPDATE,

I just found the precision switch ( the digit behind the comma is gone. )

Found the fix ( it was written inside the isoconfig.xml

 <!-- The alternate dimension style used for formatting pipe length measurements -->
    <!-- Set UseAlternateUnitsStyle='true' in the <AggregatedList> section to enable -->
    <!-- alternate pipe length units for a data list. -->

Out of the box this value is TRUE.

Changed it on 3 different places and fixed

Have mm size of piping on BOM now

Hope this helps others also to get what they want

HAPPY CODING Everybody
