Background

In OpenPlant Modeler, the requirement is to fetch the multiple properties of the piping components in the annotation. At the time of placement annotation, the properties value gets some extra space and label accuracy is set to active settings (6 digits) for nominal diameter and insulation thickness. This wiki article explains the procedure for how to remove those extra spaces from annotation and how to set decimal accuracy.





Steps to Accomplish

1. Launch Bentley Class Editor,
2.  For the desired workset location, select 01.08schema & click on Open to load the schema. Supplement the loaded schema with Supplemental schemas.
   
   Refer the attached Wiki link to know, How to Load & Supplement Schema in Bentley Class Editor
   
   Click Here(attach link)
   
   
3. Navigate to PIPING COMPONENT class, switch Property Tab. Refer below image
   
   
   
   
   
4. Click on Add > New to create a new property. Refer image below.
   
   
   
   
5. Enter property details for newly created property as shown below.
   
   
   
   
6. Right click on newly created property here DEMO_1  & select Custom Attributes > Add/Remove to add custom attribute as shown below.
   
   
   
   
7.  Search for Calculated ECProperty Specificationcustom attribute & using down arrow add this custom attribute. Ensure to change schema location for this applied custom attribute as shown below.
   
   
   
   
8.  Enter details for applied Calculated ECProperty Specification custom attribute as shown below
   
   ECExpression: this.PLANT_AREA & "-" & this.SERVICE & "-" & this.SPECIFICATION & "-" & System.Math.Round(this.NOMINAL_DIAMETER,0) & "-" & this.INSULATION & System.Math.Round(this.INSULATION_THICKNESS,0)
   
    
   
   
   
9. Add Category Custom Attributes and enter the details as shown below
   
   
   
   
10. Save all the changes & verify the result in OpenPlant Modeler. 
    
    
    
    
11. Navigate the EC Annotation cell file.
    
    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlant CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Workspaces\OpenPlantExample\WorkSets\Imperial\Standards\OpenPlant\Modeler\Cell
    
    
    
    
12. Navigate the models and copy-paste the pipeline tag. Add model name as a DEMOTAG.
          
13. Navigate the text and click insert favorite as shown below 
    
         
    
    
14. From manage create one text favorite as shown below. Add newly created property here DEMO_1.
           
    
    
    
15. Save all the changes in Text favorite Manager.
    
    
16. From Text Editor, select newly created text favorite as shown below.
    
    
    
    
17.  Attached is text in DEMOTAG model.
    
    
      

18. Launch open Plant modeler and click on place label. Select the created cell DEMOTAG and place lace label as shown below 
    
    
    
    Now observe the decimal accuracy for nominal diameter and insulation thickness.
    
    
    Note: Please note that if you have existing modeling components then we would recommend using the existing property like Alias from Piping Component level and do the changes.
