Elbow dimensioning on isometric

[Jorgen1990]

Hello!

On isometric drawings, we get the pipeline dimensions from one center of the elbow to another. Is it possible to get dimensions from the weld of the elbow, not the center? We did't find how to change it in Project Setup->Iso Styles Setup.

Hi Jörgen,

This is definitely possible, but might require a few edits in the IsoConfig.xml file. This is what you would need to do ...

1) Open IsoConfig.xml and at the bottom, you'll find the <Filters> section. Add the following filter to that list ...

<Filter Name="ElbowOrBend" Value="Type = 'Elbow' OR Type = 'Bend'" />

2) Next, navigate to the Themes \ Theme - Default \ Dimensions \ DimensionType - String \ AnchorPoints node in the xml file. Under that node, add the following lines ...

<AnchorPoint Name="ElbowOrBend" Enabled="true" Filter="ElbowOrBend">
  <EndPoints>
    <EndPoint EndPointType="Start" />
    <EndPoint EndPointType="End" />
  </EndPoints>
</AnchorPoint>

This should then start dimension elbows to the end points. Hope that helps.
