Identical Parts Separated in Isometric BOM

[_Jeff_Roy_]

Hi, 

I've encountered similar issues to this before but have been able to resolve them by ensuring long and short descriptions match, editing the isoconfig.xml to remove the "Size" category from Data->Aggregrated Lists->Groups..., and other tweaks. However, I've now got a situation where I'm literally placing the same part at the same size on the same pipeline multiple times during a single command and the various instances of this part are being split out into separate rows in the BOM when generating isometrics. If I select the various instances of these matching parts, the only property populated with "VARIES" is the PnPGuid which is supposed to be different. End connections, pressure classes, facings, etc. all match.

Can anyone shed some light on what might be causing this or a fix that I haven't tried yet?

Thanks!

@jabowabo Thank you, this resolved it. The only downside to this fix is that you lose the graphic differentiation between a bend and elbow on the iso but at least the BOM is now grouping these parts appropriately.
