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.

  1. Open the isoconfig.xml from the project folder for the iso style you want to edit.
    (For example - C:\Example\TestProject\Isometric\Check_A2)
  2. Go to the section that is used to configure the DrawingNameFormat.
  3. 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:
