To provide Annotation on Components based on Property Value.

Problem Solution

Switching Property value should annotate accordingly.With a new Property, user wanted to control set of Flange, gasket & bolt to toggle ON/OFF on isometrics. Below are the steps to resolve such case using rep_sortgroups.txt file present inside the project style folder. 

Steps to resolve

1. In class Editor, check for a property which is defined control Toggle ON/OFF. Say B_COMPLETE property. 
   
   
2. Define this property under Piping Component Class. 
   
   Note - To create a new property under the class, user should refer related wiki present under Plant community. 
   
   
3. Launch OpenPlant Modeler.
   
   
4. Assign property value based on Completion of project and are required to show it in Isometric labels & in BOM.
   
   
5. Navigate to Style folder & rep_sortgroups.txt file.
   
   
6. Open Rep_sortgroups.txt file and add below entry to it. 
   
   

   SORTGROUP = FLANGE_1
     HEADER = @ -----------
     HEADER = @  FLANGE_1
     HEADER = @ -----------
     RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_FLANGE
     SKIP = 1
    
   SORTGROUP = GASKET
     HEADER = @ -----------
     HEADER = @  GASKET
     HEADER = @ -----------
     RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_GASKET && B_COMPLETE = NO

   SORTGROUP = GASKET_1
     HEADER = @ -----------
     HEADER = @  GASKET_1
     HEADER = @ -----------
     RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_GASKET
     SKIP = 1

   SORTGROUP = BOLT
     HEADER = @ -----------
     HEADER = @  BOLT
     HEADER = @ -----------
     RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_BOLT && B_COMPLETE = NO
    

   
   SORTGROUP = BOLT_1
     HEADER = @ -----------
     HEADER = @  BOLT_1
     HEADER = @ -----------
     RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_BOLT
     SKIP = 1

7. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager & verify results.
