Problem:

How to hide label "NS" (Nominal Size) from being displayed on an AutoPIPE Stress Isometric using OPIM?

Solution:

Start by closing all AutoPIPE applications. 

The style.xml file requires an update. It is located in following folder:

AutoPIPE 10.xx and higher:

C:\ProgramData\ Bentley\ AutoPIPE CONNECT \ isoextractor\ projects\ project01\ stress\ Config

AutoPIPE 09.06.xx and lower:

“[InstallationDirectory]\isoextractor\projects\project01\stress\Config\style.xml”.

The file can be open in any Text editing application (i.e. MS Word, NotePAD, UltraEdit ect..)

After opening the file, search for the following entry: <PipeDiameter>%NS</PipeDiameter>


Modify the entry to remove the "NS", but leave the %<PipeDiameter>%</PipeDiameter>.

Save the file, close the file, start AutoPIPE,  open/create a model, save a Stress Isometric and confirm the setting works.
