Missing Weld Numbers

When I select vent/drain off the weld bubbles show up but the scale of my line goes crazy.

 

When I select vent/drain on the scale and dimensions are correct but there are no weld callouts.

 

Is there a way to combine the two to get the correct scale and dimesnions plus the weld callouts. I have attached two pictures and the only difference in the two are selecting off/on. They are the exact same items iso'd.

I did some testing here on my end as well and seem to be getting the same results. So, I will pass this along to development to have them look at addressing why the scale of one iso differs greatly from the other one. I believe part of the reason for the difference in scale is the draw area that is defined for the iso style being used. The iso generation process does make some adjustments based on what is being included and was is not.

 

Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this.

So are you saying that there is no way to get the weld numbers and scale to view correctly?

You are correct. For now you selecting vent/drain off so your weld bubbles show up is the best working option. The issue of the exaggerated scale of your line, I will pass on to development so they can look at addressing this behavior.

Is the drain line pipe or a nipple? If it's a nipple, you might get better results setting the Content Iso Symbol Definition to 

 

TYPE=COUPLING,SKEY=NRSW

 

This will draw a short double line piece for the pipe/nipple.

It is pipe.

I seem to be in the same situation, but when I use a nipple, the welding point does not come out. Where should I go to set it? 

 

TYPE=COUPLING,SKEY=NRSC 

It does not become a welding point by changing

I look forward to your reply.

This seems to be one of the many bugs that Plant 3d has. They seem fix it sometimes, but it keeps coming back.

As you can see in my screen shot, some welds have numbers and some don't, even though they are exactly the same kind of weld.
