Isometric, PCF & Spool Annotation

[richard.imrie]

Afternoon,

Using Plant 3D 2014 Extension Pack 1

Wondering if anyone has had an bother customising the Spool annotation via the isoconfig.xml file. I am trying to get a spool tag which would read Size-Service-IsoDwgNo-Numeric. The IsoDwg field is a custom ceated field with AutoCAD Plant 3d. I have found that the simplest way to get most of this is to create attributes in the iso.atr file then prefix the spool format in XML file with the required attributes, however i cannot get any reference of sixe to print to PCF and therefore i am unable to complete my desired spool ref.

Looking at data manager the nominal diameter fields are never updated with any pipe i route, in the project setup the nominal diameter and nominal spec fields are supposed to be mapped from a P&IID (i have tried using a PID line then routing that with the hope size would come through) however are never updaed.

Is this an issue with the software in general?

any comments, help etc much appreciated.

cheers.

Hahaha, i know, there are a few issues especially when it comes to the isometrics. Hopefully they will get sorted asap.
