Using Offset Location (rotation) for coordinates

[Anonymous]

We are using Plant 3D 2020.

We have our plant drawn on true north the actual plant is 12.5 degrees rotated.

There are multiple Plant 3D articles about using this feature, but none to solve the problem we are having. We have used the rotation feature in the offset location setting, with some varied results on the ISOs.

Heres my issue. The drawings show the rotation in skew boxes. We don’t want the 12.5 degrees to show on the drawings. I can suppress the boxes using the ISOConfig file, but then the ISO doesn’t show skew for any of the lines that are actually on a skew.

See example below of an ISO showing the 12.5 degree offset rotation.

Thanks,

Dear @Anonymous ,

we solve this like this:

So you model the pipe on the true 12.5 degree rotation, and override the north arrow with a custom one? Is that how you accomplished this without using the offset setting?

Thank you for the reply.

Dear @Anonymous ,

yes we need the OffsetRotation in the IsoConfig.xml

<AdvancedDefault CreatePCF="true" ExportBOM="false" ExportCutPiece="false" ExportSpool="false" ExportWeld="false" IgnoreBreakPointsInModel="false" IgnoreIsoAnnotations="false" ForceOntoOneSheet="false" SplitOnPropertyChange="false" SplittingCongestion="50" ExportFormat="0" OffsetLocationX="0" OffsetLocationY="0" OffsetLocationZ="0" OffsetRotation="12.50" RevisionNumber="" IssueDWGs="false" OverwriteExisting="false" CreateDWF="false">

Got it. Thank you

Hi, i got the same problem, and i tried to solve it the same way, but the coordinates on the "continues on" annotations bocome wrong due to the rotation, is ther any way to rotate the model like this but keep the original coordinates?
