Alter Equipment Model Nozzle Tag Format

Hello,
I would like to only have the type not the - # for my nozzle.  Ex.  MW1 (type) not MW(type)-1(#)

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

@rcaliEF8E5 ,

 

well, you can remove the delimeter from the Nozzle Tag format, but that's as far as the system goes.

Hello @rcaliEF8E5 

 

You can modify the nozzle tag in the project configuration to have only one property.

Vous pouvez modifier l'étiquette du piquage dans la configuration du projet pour n'avoir qu'une seule propriété.

In an out-of-the box Plant 3D projects, nozzle tags need to be unique. So even though the above suggestion made by @DVaquand is correct. Plant will not accept you placing another nozzle with the same tag- hence the number identifier. 

In theory you can remove this requirement for nozzle unique tagging from your database. But this is untested and I would not do this in a 'live' project without heavily testing this.

Go to the 'PnPTagEnlistedColums' table and remove the 'Nozzle' row item from the list. copy the PnPID value from the row that you deleted.
Then go to the 'PnPBase' table and look for the row with the same PnPID value and remove that row as well.

After you have done this, you can change the tag format. If you do this in a live project you will need to use the PnPTagRebuilder to update the existing tags after changing the tag format. This is another reason why you have to determine these things before starting your project.

Honestly I would not advise it, but this way you can theoretically use only the nozzle type for tagging. But maybe you don't need to do all this. 

You can change your nozzle ortho annotations and tagging in the isometric drawing to only show the type and not the number.

Thank you @Michiel.Valcke , we will have to consider changing our nozzle callout specification to suite NOT changing this, but maybe worth it.
