Iso output filename

Does anyone know how to change the default dwg filename that isogen creates?
Currently it just uses the pipeline identifier but I need it to be prefixed with Area number and a generic iso identifier.

Thanks

Currently Plant 3D does not offer anyway to change ISOGENs dwg file names. This is the type of feedback we are looking for with ISOGEN settings.
There is another thread that we started to record wants and needs from our users for ISOGEN

Thanks for that but I wasn't expecting it to be in the Project setup area.
I've currently heavily modified the .opl file and all the others in the isogen directory but I can't find a way of getting the file name to change.
I'm just hoping that there is an isogen expert here that could possibly point me in the right direction.

Thanks

The DWG file name is generated per the PCF file which Plant 3D does not offer any way to customize currently. The .opl file has no influence on the file naming except for sheet prefix names at the end of the file name (ie. .01,.02 or A, B).

You might be able to change the PLOTFILE-PREFIX entry in the Isogen.FLS file
to put a prefix on the drawing name. You'd have to manually change the FLS
file each time the area changes, though.

Thanks for that it works great! I have previously added attributes so they can be autofilled onto the isos, so I used the Area from that and the line number. So it came out looking like this within the Isogen.fls file:
PLOTFILE-PREFIX \ISOGEN\check\Drawings\<-607>-51-<-608>
With the dwg file name looking like this 1500-51-001.dwg.

Thank you,
Scott
