Overview

User is using some components for which special information like Stamp informing about those components should be added in generated isometrics model. Whole this process should be automated and if drawing contains those special components, then required stamps always should be placed in Isometrics.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Open Seed file and Report definition from required Projects Style folder or from OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Configuration dialog
   
   
   
   
   
2. In report.def file create new Report for Bolt Stamp and save
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # A STAMP for BOLTS
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   REPORT = BOLT_STAMP
   INCLUDE = EC_CLASS=BOLT
   COLUMN = 10: W :
   TEXT = @   STUD BOLTS 1-1/4" AND LARGER
   TEXT = @   TO BE HYDRAULIC TENSIONED
   TEXT = @   PER SPEC.
   Write =
   NODE    = 71
   END
   
   
3. In isoseed.dgn file enable to see placed Text Nodes and select to place new a new Text Node
   
   
   
4. Place it on required location, disable Text Nodes visibility and close OpenPlant Isometric Manager.
   
   
   
5. Now Generated required Isometrics model again and verify the results
   
   
   

INCLUDE Size condition

There is requirement to place such stamp for bolts who are 1-1/4" and Larger and we can add additional rule to include only those bolt which are 1-1/14" or larger.

1. Open Same report.def file and edit INLUDE line to add stamp only for isometric models which will contain EC_CLASS=BOLT equal or larger than 1 1/4"
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # A STAMP for BOLTS
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   REPORT = BOLT_STAMP
   INCLUDE = EC_CLASS=BOLT && SIZE2>1.25
   COLUMN = 10: W :
   TEXT = @   STUD BOLTS 1-1/4" AND LARGER
   TEXT = @   TO BE HYDRAULIC TENSIONED
   TEXT = @   PER SPEC.
   Write =
   NODE    = 71
   END
   
   
2. Generate Isometrics of component containing smaller size bolts and Stamp wont be placed
   

Include another Stamp

If model contains two type of special components than both stamps can be placed on same location. In order to achieve this a new report for new component type must be created and combined with previously created one.

1. Open report.def file and comment NODE line for BOLT_STAMP
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # A STAMP for BOLTS
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   REPORT = BOLT_STAMP
      INCLUDE = EC_CLASS=BOLT && SIZE2>1.25
      COLUMN = 10: W :
      TEXT = @   STUD BOLTS 1-1/4" AND LARGER
      TEXT = @   TO BE HYDRAULIC TENSIONED
      TEXT = @   PER SPEC.
      Write =
      #NODE    = 71
   END
   
   
2. Create new report ELBOW_STAMP
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # A STAMP for ELBOWS
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   REPORT = BOLT_STAMP
      INCLUDE = EC_CLASS=ELBOW && SIZE1>1.25
      COLUMN = 10: W :
      TEXT = @   ELBOWS 1-1/4" AND LARGER
      TEXT = @   TO BE HYDRAULIC TENSIONED
      TEXT = @   PER SPEC.
      Write =
   END
   
   
3. Create new report STAMPS
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # Combined BOLTS and ELBOWS stamps
   #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   REPORT = STAMPS
      WRITE = BOLT_STAMP
      WRITE = ELBOW_STAMP
      NODE = 71
   END
   
   
4. Generate Isometric which contains both component types and verify the results
