Iso BOM Filter

[Artem_Marinin]

Hello Plant 3D specialists,

Is there a way to set extra filter for ISO BOM?

I have a custom property (list type) and want to use it for filtering. For example, if a component has "Yes" value of this property, component is counted. If "No", component is not counted.

Hope my question is clear.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Dear @Artem_Marinin,

that should work.

To check the mode of operation please check the status "NEW" for visible and the status "EXISTING" for not visible.

Hello @h_eger

Thank you for the quick reply.

I know that components which has "existing" status are not counted in the ISO BOM. But this status make components with dashed lines in ISO and Orthos. It's not suitable, I need continuous lines for the components.

Сlarification to my question: I need extra filter for flanges which connect with valve, because some valves are supplied with counter flanges. So counter flanges have to look like normal flanges (with continuous lines) in ISO and orthos, but not be counted in the ISO BOM.

Note: Some components might be really existing, so changing line type for existing layer in project setup is not suitable.

This can be done by making modifications to the class properties, iso.atr, and isoconfig.xml files.

You will need to make some minor adjustments but this should help:
