    Thank you Kyle, the snapshot helps.

     

    Karthik is away for couple of days, hence jumping in. Engine does not scale up the fittings and components (it uses the scale specified by the user). The reason why control station (marked in yellow below) is not spaced-out is because there are no pipes that can be geometrically stretched. All the components are connected to the fittings, hence the result. I would like to discuss this more with you, will contact you separately.

    Hi,

    I read your thread with interest - wish I had seen it before I spent many hours "playing" with the set-ups. Anyway I still have a couple of set-up issues that I hope somebody can help me with - see attached PDF file.

     

    Thanks in advance

    Regards

    Gary

    On the hatch scale, edit the ISOCONFIG.xml file, goto line 210 (or just do a find on the line of text HatchPatternScale ) and change the value there.

     

    I'll see what I can find on the other problems and let you know.

    The problem with LDT info now showing on lines with multiple ISOs is a known problem with no solutions yet.

     

    this post covered it:

    Hi,

    Thanks for your info - what prog do you use to open it up (I have founf the file) - could you clarify please - I think I am missing something somewhere

     

    On the hatch scale, edit the ISOCONFIG.xml file, goto line 210 (or just do a find on the line of text HatchPatternScale ) and change the value -

     

     

    Thanks

    I use a product called TotalEdit, it's a free download from www.codertools.com.  You can also open the file up in notepad, but it has no formatting so it can be a little tricky to read.
