isometric title block attribute centring

[debbiewhite7894]

  In autoPlant 3D 2012. I have edited the Isometric title block through the project properties.  The tiltes attributes are mapped to the project and created to be centered.  Everything looks good until you create the Iso's.  The center justified text is not centered.  see attached shots.

  I recreated changes from scratch in new job and have same outcome?  Any suggestions? Is this a known problem?

Thanks for any help.

I think the SP1 doesn't work on 3d plant design. I did try from the scrash and even with the CAD template, I centered all the block attribute, and I pull the Iso, but it doesn't work, I have to do the command ATTsync. Waste my time.

And by the way it doesn't dimension the flange 2" and smaller, but it does on the flange 3" and up, attachment for clarify, I use the same setup for 2" line and 4" line.

Release of a Service Pack only 3 months afer a major version release? Thhat "includes fixes to issues found through internal testing and customer error reporting"?

Why not release a product version that works without issues out of the box.

Sure you can't expect every product release to be 100% perfect, but if enough bugs have been identified after only 3 months to justify a service pack, that's just amatuerish.

All of the bugs in this service pack were identified and fixed before the 2015 release, but after the 2014 Extension 2 and 2014 SP 1 releases. They are not new 2015 issues.

Sorry to reopen this thread but I'm using Plant 3D 2015 SP2 with Extension 1 and it's not fixed... I am still using the ATTSYNC command.

the 2016 version is fixed.

I got 2015 version, but don't remember if I got SP2 or not. but the version 2015 that I have is not fixed. Until the version 2016 is fixed.

I am a new Plant user, setting up our company isometric title block.  To dig around and find out this issue has been an issue since 2012 and it's now 2016 (among many other issues I've had that have apparently gone unresolved for YEARS) really doesn't give me a very high opinion of the developers of this product.  Not to mention the seemingly endless workarounds and hacks I've had to implement just to get the Plant Suite to operate as advertised.  Yes, I read it's resolved in 2016.  Good job guys, but I'm on 2015...

currently in 2016 and I have been loading the following lisp thru CUI since 2012, it takes care of the problem.  I hadnt even realized I was still doing it, and didnt even check to see if 2016 took care of the problem.. I call it the "fix iso attributes.lsp"

(defun FixTitleAttributes (/ ss e) (setq ss (ssget "_X" '((2 . "Title Block")))) (if (and (not(null ss)) (>= (sslength ss) 1))(progn (setq e (ssname ss 0)) (command "ATTSYNC" "S" e "Y") ) ) (princ) ) (FixTitleAttributes)
  )
)

Thanks Debbie!  I'll give that a try.  I was thinking when I wrote that that the fix was to to an Attsync to every iso generated, but I realized I just needed to do it to the template after I had edited it via Title Block Setup > Title Block Attributes (after the block edit and before "Return to Project Setup"), which fixed the problem...
