Problems with the ports of an custom element in Isometric

Hi everyone!

 

I have a problem with a Iso symbol block of an element that was created to appear correctly in the isometric.
The Iso symbol block was made by adding the ports shown in the following image:

But it turns out that when the isometric is pulled out, the ports of the 1/2” lines are connecting in the center of the element and not where it was defined in the Iso symbol block.

I would appreciate your help!

@jorge_ortegaH5P2C ,

 

In which document did you find the instructions that your Iso symbol works like this?
The PCF specification does not allow the port connections as you have created them.

Hello @jorge_ortegaH5P2C 

 

Here is the setting that I defined for the creation of the isometric symbol

And here is the isometric output result on a component having 2 main ports and 2 secondary ports

Depending on the "TYPE" category you define this will work or not.

Here are the types that work, I haven't tested it all.
FLANGE-BLIND
FLANGE-REDUCING-CONCENTRIC

Voici le paramétrage que j'ai défini au niveau de la création du symbole isométrique


Et voici le résultat en sortie isométrique sur un composant ayant 2 ports principaux et 2 ports secondaires
Selon la catégorie du "TYPE" que vous définissez cela fonctionnera ou pas.


Voici les types qui fonctionnent, je ne l'ai pas tous testé.

Hello @DVaquand 

 

I tried what you indicate but it did not work.
I changed the Type category to Flange-Blind but it didn't work, still the same.
I don't know what it could be, I followed the steps in the De-Mystifying AutoCAD Plant 3D Isometrics manual to create the block for the isometric.
