Background

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, there's an option to turn off dimensioning for branches that have a few number of components or a certain nominal diameter.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

2. Select WorkSpace and corresponding Workset

3. Set the style that you'd like to modify. Then go to Miscellaneous under the Dimensioning group.

4. In the Suppress Dimensions, tick the Hide Branch Dimensions

5. Set the value for each:

• Use Diameter Threshold - Do not suppress branch dimensions when the nominal diameter of the branch is above the specified value. The value can be specified in decimal inches or millimeters. The conversion factor used is 25.
• Use Component Count Threshold — Do not suppress branch dimensions when the amount of components in the branch is above the specified value. Set to 0 to not apply this threshold.
  

Note: For OPIM to apply this setting, both conditions should fall as true. 

For example, the branch consists of 4 components, namely an olet, flange, gasket, bolt, and a valve with a nominal diameter of 4" and the setting are as follows:

• Use Diameter Threshold - 100 (condition is true since this is equivalent to 4 inches following conversion factor) 
• Use Component Count Threshold - 2 (condition is false)

This will display the dimensions for the branch. However, if the 2nd condition is set to 5 which makes the condition to be true, this will allow setting to apply to that branch.
