Problem Description
In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, user created separate SPOOLID report in Bill of Materials list, but all SPOOLIDs in this report are listed in one column. This report is using to much space and user requirement is to list all these SPOOLID values in one row.

Steps to Resolve
In the Style.cfg file (for each isometric style) there is a variable (MAXLINES) which can be added and defined to limit the number of rows for a report.
So if a report exceeds the maximum number of rows defined, Isometric Manager will add columns to the right using the widths of all of the columns to accommodate the additional records.
- Open report.def file from required Isometrics style's config folder.
For OpenPlant Modeler:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\[...]\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\[...]\Config
For AutoPLANT Modeler:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\[...]\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\[...]\config
- Created one new report for SPOOLID header.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SPOOLID Header
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REPORT = SPLH
TEXT = -------------------------SPOOLS---------------------------------
Write =
NODE = 70
- Create one new report for SPOOLID values and add MAXLINES=1 variable which will force all values to be listed in one row
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SPOOLID values report in one row
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REPORT = SPL
INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_PIPE
COLUMN = 17: L : "5'"+"-"+LINENUMBER+"-"+SPOOLID
COLUMN = 2: R : ";"
MAXLINES = 1
GROUP = SPOOLID
SORT = SPOOLID:N
SEP = @
SORTHEADERS = 0
NODE = 61
END
