Custom Parts in ISO sketches?!

[popovUS9BY]

Hello colleagues,

since custom parts are fastest way to have components with working connections I used some.

Information for custom parts properly added:

When ISO sketch is generated, custom components do not have position, description and missing in list of fittings.

How can I make those parts working?

Dear @popovUS9BY ,

Please check if this object does not have the STATUS EXISTING by mistake.
If yes please set to NEW and test the iso again.

Dear h.eger,

thanks for reply.

I checked status for this and other problematic components - status is new, but situation is the same - no position, no description, no overall dimension, no tag number in ISO sketch.

P.S. Is in necessary those parts to be part on any spec?

P.P.S I change spec, to be the same as pipes - do not work. Result is the same.

Did you set up the instrument section in your iso template as well?
By default it is not available.

Dear h.eger,

thanks so much for your reply.

I downloaded & installed XML Notepad.

Than I found directory where used ISOstyle (Final_A2) is and edited like on a video tutorial.

Than from Project Setup I set-up title block for Final_A2 style.

After following steps from video tutorial row INSTRUMENT appears under PIPE SUPPORTS, great!

Than I restarted software and generated ISO sketch using Final_A2 style.

For some reason, nothing changed, custom parts are just like before without position, description ... etc.

Instruments should appear after PIPE SUPPORTS row, but there is nothing in ISOsketch, like it was before.

About "Getting the position number for the instruments" (Should I do this?).

Since I saw there is one more button for Custom Parts, I want to clarify button I used to create Custom Parts:

I think we almost did it, just we miss something ...

It will be better if Custom Parts appears in ISO Sketches by DEFAULT.

Any other advice is welcome.

Thanks for support once again!
