Dear @kamel.rhilitz ,

Point 1: the flange is on the line number "instrument"
Point 2: this weld seam is also on the line number "instrument"

The filter is a piece of equipment and as soon as all parts are on the pipeline 200, the ISO works.

i restarted , created a new project, set all the project set up, and isometric setting, but still it gives two isos for a simple line.

i resterted from scratch to test if my setting were correct.

i created and equipmnt then 2 4 inch flanged nozzles then with the regular plant run 2 pieces of pipes each side then blind flanges. when i use the command connect it gives me an error...cant understand what s the issue.

As long as you design your filter as equipment and not as an in-line object, you will always get 2 isometrics.
You will not get an isometry if all parts are pipe fittings.
Was this topic not addressed in the training?

Attached is your drawing with the filter as an in-line object, then the ISO looks like this (see appendix 100.dwg)

thank you very much.

actually i dont remember seeing this on the training, do you have any link about the correct way to do create the equipment as inline component?

would you also explain this please " You will not get an isometry if all parts are pipe fittings" would you please send useful links in this regards.

thank you very much.
