Requisition has been made by some user to remove the spec break from Isometrics Manager as per their requirement. Below is the customization done to achieve the desired workflow. However this can be considered as an alternative workaround by removing the symbols from library and is beneficial for the user's who are using the version stated above in template.

To remove a spec break option, it is needed to define the new spec break in second available ‘custom.cel’.

  3. Go to iso extractor and click on cell creation tool.

  4. Navigate to cell template folder and select Annotation to open.

  6. Place a fence and click to create cell option.

  7. Select the Cell Library and provide cell name and description to it. 



  8. Save the changes and verify the order of custom.cel written in style.cg file. See notes below
    Notes: 

    a. If a template file as shown in point no 4 does not appears, copy the OPIM folder from below mentioned path to your workspace. 
           C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantIsometricsManager V8i\WorkSpace

    b. User may create its own custom file with logical name and customize the label accordingly. To enable a new cell file type the name at first place in style.cfg in order to search the library at first, as mentioned in below image.
