Problem:

How to add coordinate information to a support node point on a Stress Isometric using OPIM?

Solution:

 This setting was controlled by Alias Isogen command switch 66, however this feature can replicated using OPIM (see the following instructions):

1. Open the following file in any text editor:

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

2. After the file opens, locate the <userLabels> section. Typically found on line #4 of a default file.

3. Add the following out side of another entry command statement between the <userlabels> (line #4) and </userlabels> (line #198).

<entry>

      <name>Support coordinates</name>

      <id>536456ff-1db2-434f-a8c0-21c163829c24</id>

      <include>IE_TYPE=CT_SUPPORT</include>

      <exclude>

      </exclude>

      <text>$(COORD)</text>

      <type>NOTE</type>

      <cellName>NOTE</cellName>

      <flags>

      </flags>

      <PlaceLabel>True</PlaceLabel>

</entry>

4. Save and close the file

5. Restart AutoPIPE

6. Create a Stress Isometric using OPIM. coordinate location is now displayed at a support location:

Note: There is a known issue with opening a DWG file created from OPIM in Autodesk's True View and AutoCAD applications. The box around the words will overlap words in True View but will be shown correctly if the same file is opened in AutoCad. See image below:
