Problem:

How to add a text label for "type of Tee" on a stress isometric using AutoPIPE?

Solution:

AutoPIPE 11.02.xx.xx to 10.00.xx.xx has no feature to add a text label on an isometric drawing. Update the Style.xml file as mentioned below will add a new text label to the drawing.

The style.xml file is located in AutoPIPE program data directory. The default location for this file on a typical installation:

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

File: Style.xml

Add the following lines of data to the <userLabels> section of the Style.xml file:

<entry>
<name>Tee Type</name>
<id>23319CEE-0E2F-45CF-9DDC-F01049860126</id>
<include>IE_TYPE=CT_TEE|CT_FITTING_CROSS</include>
<exclude>
</exclude>
<text>TYPE=$(AP_Type)</text>
<type>NOTE</type>
<cellName>NOTE</cellName>
<flags></flags>
<PlaceLabel>True</PlaceLabel>
</entry>

Example:

In order to turn this tag note OFF, the user must manually edit the Style.XML file setting this entry PlaceLabel to False:

<PlaceLabel>False</PlaceLabel>.

A new enhancement has been logged to make turning this tag note On / OFF more user friendlier.

Note: removing this border box can sometimes overlap with other items in isometrics. A box on text saves it in such case.
