As per Project requirement user might need to change this to some different format. For this, it is require to change the expressions present under ISO_SHEET class and define it as desired. Below steps will aid user to configure the desired settings. Refer example for new expression would be Project_Name – Unit – TAG- LINENUMBER- ISO-NUMBER. 

Steps to Resolve

  1. In Class editor, Open "OpenPlant_3D.01.07.ecschema" schema and supplement it with "OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.07.ecschema" and "OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.07.ecschema".

    Path to follow the default project schema:
    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\ OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Schemas
