Background

In some project indexing is required to show in single bubble or Box for each component. See image below for default setup with latest OpenPlant Isometrics Manager version 08.11.11.101. to change various symbols and settings, see below steps for further help. 

Note: In some cases part id label doesn't populate on specific BOM. This issue arises, when there is a new installation of OpenPlant Isometrics Manager & Isometrics folder has not been replaced with Isometrics folder of newly installed OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Replacing Isometrics folder will solve this issue. One alternative way to update existing is with new variables as shown below.

         

Below steps can be used using both AutoPLANT Modeler-OpenPlant Isometrics Manager & OpenPlant Modeler-OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Check below shown in both case.
