Configuring Isometric Drawing Name and File Name Format
Issue
You would like to edit the Drawing Name and File Name that is generated by Plant 3D during Isometric drawing creation to include additional model properties.
Solution
To configure the Drawing Name you need edit the isoconfig.xml file for the Isometric style that you are using.
Open the isoconfig.xml from the project folder for the iso style you want to edit. (For example - C:\Example\TestProject\Isometric\Check_A2)
Go to the section that is used to configure the DrawingNameFormat.
Add the property that you want included in the drawing name by inserting the additional "ModelProperty", in this case UNITS-BORE.
In the example above the Drawing Name will now include the Pipeline Number and the Units giving the following result in the isometric drawing:
To configure the isometric File Name you need to edit the FileNameFormat section of the isoconfig.xml.
Open the isoconfig.xml from the project folder for the iso style you want to edit. (For example - C:\Example\TestProject\Isometric\Check_A2)
Go to the section that is used to configure the FileNameFormat.
Add the property that you want included in the drawing name by inserting the additional "ModelProperty", in this case PIPING-SPEC and UNITS-BORE.
In the example above the File Name will now include the Pipeline Number, Spec and Units giving the following result:

The various properties that can be used are listed in the AutoCAD Plant 3D Help file: Model Property List
