I would like to be able to get the decimal point out of the dimensions and bill of materials, and separate the Ft and inch with a dash. How can I do this in P3D? Removing and replacing the offending items takes time for something that should be easily configurable.
Thanks

I would enjoy the ability to increse the size of the ISO plot area. Curently the ISO does not use up the space allocated for it when I setup the title block using Define ISO drawing Area.
Does the Define ISO Drawing Area mean the whole piece of paper you would be printing on or just the square where the ISO is being placed in. I believe it is the latter, but I could be mistaken, because there is alot of wasted space in the ISO area.
This is a duplicate of what I have posted in user wish list, but since most of these pretain to ISO development, I will insert it here as well.
The ability to set a maximum length of pipe, and when you go over that length AutoCAD automatically inserts a weld, a flange, or whatever the user needs. I have been able to add welds through a custom part but the downside if I use the Weld list in the ISOgen settings, it counts it as 2 or 3 welds instead of just one. Another problem is that I cannot modify that pipe as it one entire piece. The most frustrating thing is that I seem to be unable to delete the WELD later on, even after I deleted the entire pipe.
When creating breakpoints there should be an option to crete the breakpoint in the middle of the pipe or split it into 3,4,5...etc pieces and when the pipe breaks it automatically creates a field weld marker. Currently the breakpoint seems to break the pipe into random pieces that I have no control over.
I would like to be able to see the lengths of the sections of the pipe automatically appear on the ISO, such as between the fittings and the indivual pipes. Currently you can select cut sheet list but that just placed numbers above the pipe and probaly placed some info into the Data manger. This is not bad, but it creates the need for one more lookup which IS what I want to avoid, I would like everything to be on the ISO, so there is only one place the fabricator needs to look.
The ability to call sections of pipe by a control number. Every seperate ISO would have its own Control Number. So every ISO has its own number and instead of saying continue on DWG 2 it might say continue on Control Number 002.
