Add sheet Number to Isometric Filename

I am trying to add the sheet number, for a single sheet isometric, to the DWGNAME and the FILENAME. I edited the IsoConfig.xml file for both parameters but, only the DWGNAME was successful. Does anyone know why the FILENAME does not include the sheet number? I am using Plant 3D 2017.1 update.

Attached are excerpts from the Isoconfig.xml file and the Isometric output.

I have tried every out of the box Isometric profile but, cannot add the sheet number to the Filename. Can you show me the changes you made to your  IsoConfig.xml to obtain the results you are showing?

Harmut, I noticed that your test isometric has two sheets (SHT 1 OF 2). Can you test on an isometric that has only one sheet (SHT 1 OF 1)?

Hartmut,

As you can see from your test, the sheet number is not added to the Iso FileName or DwgName. I am trying to get the sheet number added when the Iso only has one sheet. After I edit the FileName and DwgName options in the IsoConfig.xml, the DwgName includes the sheet number but, the FileName does not include the sheet number.

IIRC Sheet number only applies to ISO's which have multiple sheets.

Hi @maxpiper,

 

50% success
Filename = ok
DrawingName = is hardcoded and not yet editable Info after consultation with autodesk support.

 

The following change in IsoConfig.xml
In the FileNameFormat section, set the value AutoIncludeSheetNumber from false to true (1)

I have set the "autoincludesheetnumber" to "true" yet my sheet number still does not show in my filename unless I have 2 sheets. Any clues as to what is going wrong here?

I also having the same issue. Unless the sheet are more that 1, it does not add that prefix.
But better to have it even when it is one sheet.

Have you found any work around for that?

 

Also: Any solution for having the filename as drawing number in the sheet?

Hi, any progress on this theme with the latest versions?

Our client have a file name format that has to have a sheet number appended to isometric number, even with a single sheet.

thanks

Apparently still no solution to this well known issue?
