Iso Message Adding unwanted welds.

Anonymous — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 07:01:35 GMT

Hi,

was hoping someone could help with this. I am producing Iso,s however small bore piping is not in our scope so where there is a small bore connection I add the olet and refer to another drawing. However when adding iso messages at these olets it creates 2 welds which are not needed or wanted. I have searched around and the plant3d knowledge network suggests putting the iso message on the pipeline. However there is no pipeline, just an olet.

see image attached.

Have you ever worked with the Status "EXISTING"?
If you set the Olet there are always 2 welds.
If you draw a pipe with the original nominal diameter and define this piece of pipe as EXISTING, it will only be shown in dashed lines and the ISO message should come.
I haven't tested it but it should work.

Hi Hartmut,

thanks for the reply. Maybe I didn't explain my problem very clearly. So have added some more screenshots to help with explanation.

Here is a screenshot of the pipe with olet with no iso messaged attached, This is how I want the olet to look with just one weld where its welded to the header pipe, the olet is part of my scope and needs to be set to new as I need it to be on the MTO:

When I place an iso message on the end of this olet to reference another drawing it creates 2 additional welds on the end of the olet which I neither want nor need on this isometric:

I tried setting the iso message to existing which does remove the welds, however as its attached the olet it also sets this to existing and removes it from BOM. I have added a small piece of pipe to the end of the olet, set it to existing and added the iso message to this, but this still adds an additional weld to the olet which isnt required:

Any more help is much appreciated.

Please report this case to Autodesk Support.
It seems to be a mistake - I have the same behavior in the way you work.

Hello

Sorry for my English, which I don't speak and whose post has been translated with DeepL Translator.

The possibility I found would be to remove the port type 2 which is by default SW by another one, such as Universal_ET for example or just put the field empty.
See the screencast that shows the process.

Bonjour

La possibilité que j'ai trouvé consisterait à supprimer le type de port 2 qui est par défaut SW par un autre, tel que Universal_ET par exemple ou simplement mettre le champ vide.
Voir le screencast qui montre le processus.
