How to correctly show a isometric symbol according to its connection type

[rjansen2020]

Does anyone know how you can manipulate the direction of an isometric symbol. I have tube fitting symbol at each side of a Female valve. on the ISO they are shown in the same direction in stead of opposite directions. (see attachment)

Hello @rjansen2020 

How were the ports on the isometric symbol created?
In which 3D class was the 3D component defined?

== French ==

Comment ont été créé les ports sur le symbole isométrique ?
Dans quelle classe 3D a été définie le composant 3D ?

@rjansen2020 ,

Have you also entered your iso symbol in the "IsoSkeyAcadBlockMap.xml" under the "ASYMMETRIC COMPONENT LIST" section?
Please note that the EndType may only have 2 digits

Yes it works.

Thank you: h-eger

You mentioned that the Endtype has to be 2 Digits. Endtype1 was "THDM" and endtype2 was "PL". So all the symbols where placed in the wrong direction. After I switch the two endtypes it worked perfectly.

For those who has the same problem: to switch those I did the following:

I use a custom AutoCAD DWG Block based component in Plant 3D.

- In the DWG with the blocks I used the command PLANTPARTCONVERT to deleted Port1 and Port2 of the block and reassigned Port 1 (=PL) and 2 (=THDM)

- In the catalog Editor of the Spec Editor I changed the endtypes of the component. 

- In the AcadBlock "TubeAdapterStraighMale" I also switched Port1 and Port2

- In the project drawing I updated the spec and model of the component

In IsoSkeyAcadBlockMap.xml I had the LINE

<SkeyMap SKEY="TASM" AcadBlock="TubeAdapterStraighMale" />

I added  in the ASYMMETRIC COMPONENT LIST section:

<AsymmetricComponent Type="COUPLING" Skey="TASM" EndType="PL" />
