With new SS6 refresh release, several users Enhancements/Defects has been been included in it. Below are the list to have a preview of it. This will further get discussed exclusively on each topic for easy understanding to allow user to get most of the benefit out of it. 

• Coordinate Labels: Options have been added to configure how Coordinate Labels are placed and whether to use Elevation labels instead.
  Refer link for Details -How to Suppress Co-ordinates & Display Elevations in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager

• Partial Configuration:  Feature added to configure Partial Hatch options for Rolling Isometrics in an isometric.
• Pre and Post Processing Data Manipulation: Added configuration options which give the user the ability to manipulate data for the isometrics either in the pre-processing or post-processing stages of isometric generation.

• Unit conversions for diameter or pipe length can now be specified per style rather than on project level.
  Refer links for Detail - How to Convert Dimension and Pipe Diameter in Different Unit
  
• Additional diameter mapping can be specified for diameters where the relation between the inch and the millimeter pipe size is not linear.
• Weld Allowances - The display of Weld Allowances can be configured for each isometric style in the Style.xml file.  In the file you can configure whether to display the Weld Allowance on the isometric as well as the display format.  Each isometric style has its own Style.xml file which can be configured.

OpenPlant Isometrics Manager - New Features SELECTseries 6 Refresh 3

<08.11.11.277>

• New iso symbols added in cel library: WYEFT, 90FL_FT, WLTFT, VLVGEN1FL, NPLBW_PE, CREBW_FT, GENSTRCE, TEE, TEEFL_FL_FT, BLWBW
• Handling of both the combined orifice assembly from BASE module versus the exploded orifice set from INSTRUMENT module.
• Correct representation of 3 way changeover relief valve.
• Skip second coordinate label for Pipe Cap.
• Allow Sheet Break located in weld gap.
• Allow '=' and '+' signs in line number/drawing name.
• Allow to exclude specific Weld types from being dimensioned
• Create isos directly from an OpenPlant Modeler session without the need to create an i-model first or to work through OpenPlant Model Server.
• Handling of "dummy leg" supports, to represent it as pipe material in the iso and Bill of Material.
• Multiple output formats available at the same time. As a user you can specify to have not only a DGN output file, but also DWG, DXF and PDF.
• Settings in Style.cfg:
  - Example: specify IE_OUTPUT_FORMAT = DGN, DWG, PDF
  Refer links for Detail - How to Use the Isometric Cleanup When the Output Format is DWG/PDF
• Settigns in isoProj.cfg:
  - specify output folder for additional formats: IE_OUT : $(IE_DGN)exports/
  - specify PDF plot configuration file: IE_PLOTCFG = $(IE_CONF)plot.cfg
• Excentric Reducers can be configured to have a label Flat side UP or Flat side down.

<08.11.11.284>

• New hidden line functionality for better legibility of crossing pipelines in the iso
• Improved layout:
  • White space management now also optimizes the position of line based labels such as pipe size labels and spool labels
  • Orientation/ rotation of branch components in the same plane as the main pipe.
  • Orientation/ rotation of support nod symbol in line with the pipe.
  • Orientation/ rotation of valve top works on skewed line.
  • Orientation/ rotation of dummy leg BOP.
  • Prevention of overlapping dimensions, components, labels, insulation.
  • Taps on fittings placed on the component outline rather than on its centre line.
