Iso File Name Format

Iso File Name Format

I've been reading up on this but I haven't quite figured out how to do it. I just need the file names for the isos generated to be named by the line number. If the line number has multiple isos then just LineNumber-1, LineNumber-2......etc. 

 

I think I need to edit the isoconfig file but I'm messing up the syntax.

In the IsoConfig.xml look for the line:

 

<SheetNumber AutoLabelOption="Number" NumberOfDigits="1" AutoIncludeSheetNumber="false" StartFrom="1" />

 

and change AutoIncludeSheetNumber to true.  Should take care of it I believe.

So there are actually 2 lines in the config file with that exact line of code. I changed them both and then changed one at a time and it didn't effect the file name. Looking at the ISO files it creates, I think that is definitely editing the numbering of the lines connected to both ends of the pipe but it doesn't effect the file name.

Sorry forgot there were two instances.  I changed it in the DrawingNameFormat block only and it worked fine. Should be the second instance. 

 

<DrawingNameFormat UseSpoolNameAsDrawingName="false">
<!-- Properties included in the Isometric drawing file name prefix -->
<PrefixModelProperties>
<!-- 'Name': (string); The model property name. -->
<!-- 'Delimiter': (string); The delimiter. -->
<ModelProperty Name="PIPELINE-REFERENCE" Delimiter="-" />
</PrefixModelProperties>
<!-- Sheet number format -->
<!-- 'AutoLabelOption': 'Number' or 'Alphabet' -->
<!-- 'Number' = numeric increment -->
<!-- 'Alphabet' = alphabetic increment -->
<!-- 'NumberOfDigits': (decimal); Number of digits. -->
<!-- 'StartFrom': (decimal); The number or alphabet the auto label starts from. -->
<SheetNumber AutoLabelOption="Number" NumberOfDigits="1" AutoIncludeSheetNumber="true" StartFrom="1" />
<!-- Properties included in the Isometric drawing file name suffix -->
<SuffixModelProperties>

Did you delete all your previously run ISOs on that line number?  If you select overwrite it won't clear out Linenumber.dwg because it's not recreating it so it will still show up.

I tried that and I still can't get it for some reason. This is the peace of pipe I'm testing it on. It names the files 1, 2 and 3. The longer pipe on the left is what I'm showing the iso and properties of.

It looks like you are doing a quick ISO.  Try a production ISO.

Hi

Is that possible to add "IS-" OR "SPL" BEFORE THE PIPELINE-REFERENCE..

it is a simple string and I don't really want to use calculatedproperties but edit the isoconfig.

I would like that our isometrics/SPOOL became IS-LINENUMBERTAG-SHEETNUMBER
