Hi Ryan,

What version of Plant are you running?

Could you share your PCF file with us?

Would like to run here?

Dear @autocad2,

please check your connections with your Piping Components.
Otherwise, I can also notice something conspicuous with the Line AR-SUPPLY

Hi Ryan,

I am running Autodesk® AutoCAD® Plant 3D 2018.1.1 Update.

I imported your PCF into an new drawing (mmetric project) but since I dont have your specs it used PLACEHOLDER
METRIC and Custom Part Spec. I had to do some clean up to the pipe because there were some disconnects and for some odd reason some of the flanges flip 180degs.

As you can see by the attach ISOs I was able to run the pipe. I used the Plant 3D out of box Iso Style Final_A2.

Do you have any drips (disconnected pipes) in your model?

autocad2 — Tue, 01 May 2018 13:15:20 GMT

hi tom,

all connections are fine and i can also create isos using the default Fianl A2 but still not working for my custom setup as it was previous.

Any more advice.

Thanks Ryan.

Ryan,

Custom setup?

Can you elaborate more on what you mean by this?

What did you customize?

Re: Iso Errors - object reference not set to an instance of an object

h_eger — Tue, 01 May 2018 13:23:55 GMT

Dear @autocad2,

here is something wrong with your Iso config. Wrong SKEY or other settings.
Without a project, troubleshooting is almost impossible.

autocad2 — Tue, 01 May 2018 13:24:42 GMT

tom,

I have altered the iso style, annotations, dimensions, themes and title block in the project setup. As i said it was working earlier then i changed my title block and it started saying errors.

thanks,

ryan

Dadspackard — Tue, 01 May 2018 13:30:35 GMT

Ryan,

Did you happen to rename the block of the title block?

It needS to stay at tittle block.

Re: Iso Errors - object reference not set to an instance of an object

autocad2 — Tue, 01 May 2018 13:38:41 GMT

The title block is still title block see attached image, i was changing the table colours so they were darker for printing.

Dadspackard — Tue, 01 May 2018 13:40:00 GMT

Hi Ryan,

Was able to run one on my end with the project you posted.

I ran the pipe with your FINAL_A2 style

Re: Iso Errors - object reference not set to an instance of an object

autocad2 — Tue, 01 May 2018 13:41:28 GMT

its the Final A3 style that is modified i can run the A2.

Hi Ryan,

Error

'\\wel.local\dfsdata\RedirectedFolders\ryan.green\Desktop\Autocad plant 3d\DRAWING TEMPLATES\WALKER ENG ISO FINAL A3 LAYOUT.dwt' is missing or corrupted.

Is this your ISO border?

Re: Iso Errors - object reference not set to an instance of an object

h_eger — Tue, 01 May 2018 13:48:34 GMT

Dear @autocad2,

the problem is your Iso-DWT which seems to be incorrect in your Iso config.

Ryan,

By the way excellent pipe work you are doing there.

Re: Iso Errors - object reference not set to an instance of an object

autocad2 — Tue, 01 May 2018 14:40:36 GMT

solved.

I created a new title block on the Final A2 and modified it from there.

Thanks for all your help,

Ryan
