Support tagging and dimensions

[Jorgen1990]

Hi!

Can anyone suggest a good way to set up automatic tagging for pipe supports. When I insert a support in 3D model, I would like to automatically assign an idenical tag to it in format like "S-xx-xxx", where S means support, xx is the pipe DN and xxx is just an identifying number (001, 002, 003...). And I would like to get the tags on ortho drawings as well as in isos.

And also, is it possible to "save" the modified dimensions of a support? When I select clamped slide from Tool Palette, I always have to modify the supports to match the standard supports we use. Can I save my modified dimensions to tool palette?

Cheers,

Jörgen

It's necessary to change the TAG format in Project Setup of Suports, and activate autogenerate number in the TAG configuration.

After is necessary to create new anotation for suports with type of text which you need

I am working on this now and am not having any luck getting the automatic increment of the number.  Still investigating, but was wondering if you ever found a solution.  In P&ID, it is simple but in P3D, following the same procedures, it is not working.
