AnnoSpecbreak text height

[DGRL]

Hi Everyoine,

Well my question is,

After making an complete new house style to use in Plant 3D 2016 we ran into a small challenge.

The text height of the AnnoSpecBreaker is set to 1 in the text style editor ( done the way autodesk recommend you to do )
I changed it into 2 or 3 or any other height you can imaging.

For some strange reason the text height is forced to be 2.121320343559843 and we don't know where this is coming from.

The isoconfig.xml does not seems to be the file to alter these settings as they are removed in the 2016 version.
Back in to 2010 the isoconfig file was used for this as far as I remember correctly.

Can anybody point me to the correct file to alter the text height of this iso symbol?

Thanks in advance

Hi @dave.wolfe @h_eger @Autodesk

I just found out where the issue lies with the wrong scaling of the iso symbols

The annospecbreaker is behaving really weird and I know where to change it

I only need help from Autodesk on some names.

For the annospecbreaker go to line ,

<PropertyBreakerScheme Name="SpecBreaker" AnnotationStyle="SpecBreak" Tag="Left Right" Alignment="FlatHorizontal" LeaderStyle="AlwaysNonArrowed" Filter="SpecBreakItems" Field="PIPING-SPEC" DefaultAnnotationStyle="Standard" DefaultLeaderStyle="Always" WordWrapLimit="10" EnableMultiple="true" />
<PropertyBreakerScheme Name="InsulationLimit" AnnotationStyle="SpecBreak" Tag="Left Right" Alignment="FlatHorizontal" LeaderStyle="AlwaysNonArrowed" Filter="SpecBreakItems" Field="HasInsulation" DefaultAnnotationStyle="Standard" DefaultLeaderStyle="Always" WordWrapLimit="10" EnableMultiple="true" />

Field="HasInsulation" Is scaling perfect and the text height is also precise I.e 1.8 / 2.5 or 3.5

Field="PIPING-SPEC" does not scale at all.

The last one has issues regarding the text height and scale factor.

Also what I see is that the blockname in the iso is for,

HasInsulation --> annospecbreak

PIPING-SPEC --> AnnoSpecBreaker-1-Iso2DSkew90 or AnnoSpecBreaker-2-Iso2DSkew90 depending on how much you use.

PLEASE AUTODESK

I did already a lot of research on this and please let US FIX this once and forever.

You keep telling that without us you don't have anything to make better but now we did a lot of work for you and we are asking you now to FINISH it

Hope to hear from you

And if you need any more info PLEASE let me know

Kind Regard

Update,

I was reading the isoconfig file and I noticed that the blockname for the annoscpecbreaker is used multiple times.

isn't this the reason why this block is not working correctly?

Search for PIPING-SPEC and see yourself

Again

<PropertyBreakerScheme Name="SpecBreaker" AnnotationStyle="SpecBreak" Tag="Left Right" Alignment="FlatHorizontal" LeaderStyle="AlwaysNonArrowed" Filter="SpecBreakItems" Field="PIPING-SPEC" DefaultAnnotationStyle="Standard" DefaultLeaderStyle="Always" WordWrapLimit="10" EnableMultiple="true" />
          <PropertyBreakerScheme Name="InsulationLimit" AnnotationStyle="SpecBreak" Tag="Left Right" Alignment="FlatHorizontal" LeaderStyle="AlwaysNonArrowed" Filter="SpecBreakItems" Field="HasInsulation" DefaultAnnotationStyle="Standard" DefaultLeaderStyle="Always" WordWrapLimit="10" EnableMultiple="true" />

Look at this line

You can clearly see that Field="PIPING-SPEC" and PIPING-SPEC is found multiple times while Field="HasInsulation" is only found ONCE

Coincident? I don't think so

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
Looks like Autodesk just don't care enough about there paying customers
