Tag Call-out for Special items

[neonade]

I placed tag nos on my specialty items on my 3d piping model.

Is there a way that will enable them to have a Iso tag call out like for the valves, instrument and support.

Thanks

Hi,

Here is some sample for a PulledPipe Iso extraction, you can see the method and modify it.

There is a custom database field, sCutLength that is used via triggers to round the cut length to one decimal place (you do not require this for your examle).

In IsoConfig.xml (note, back up this file before ANY manual edit)

In the

<!-- Static annotations --> section, make a new scheme, here you can see I have made two.

          <!-- 'Dave Evans -->
          <ComponentScheme Name="ElbowCoord" AnnotationStyle="Standard" Format="{0}" LeaderStyle="AlwaysCorner" Filter="ElbowCoord" Fields="CO-ORDS" />
          <ComponentScheme Name="PulledBend" AnnotationStyle="Standard" Format="PULLED PIPE\nCUT LEN : {0}" LeaderStyle="AlwaysCorner" Filter="PulledBend" Fields="sCutLength" />
          <!-- 'Dave Evans -->

Now you need to make a filter, in the Filters section, right at the end of the file.

    <!--  Dave Evans -->
    <Filter Name="ElbowCoord" Value="Type = 'ELBOW' OR Type = 'BEND' OR Type = 'TEE'" />
    <Filter Name="PulledBend" Value="SKEY='PBBW'" />

I hope this helps.

Thanks Dave

I got an idea on how I will do my own component scheme and do the coressponding filter 🙂

Great!
