This option toggles the display of the part labels in the isometric.

Use Stand-out Pipe Labels

By default pipe part labels are placed along the pipe. If required the user can force them to standout mode. In the figures below, the left shows the label aligned with the pipe and the right displays the label in Stand-out mode:

Use Prefix

A part label can be prefixed with one or more characters that identify the part. This option toggles whether the prefixes are displayed or not. When turned Off, the labels display as shown below:

When turned On, the prefix is display as shown in the Group in Single Label examples below.

Group in Single Label

Composite connections spans more than two components and may have physical connection material. Good examples are bolted and clamped connections. For efficiency the components involved in the composite connection are labeled in a grouped manner. The user can select if the group is to be displayed in a single or multiple labels. In the example below, the Single Label grouping is on the left and the Individual Cell grouping is on the right:

Likewise, when using circular type cells for part labels, it would like the images below with the Single Label grouping on the left:

Even when separate labels are used, only one leader is present. When using the label move tool, the labels are seen as a group.

Cell to be Used

The name of the cell to be used for PARTID labels. It defaults to PARTID (rectangular label type). Additional label shapes are stored in the lisocomp.cel file stored in the following location:

...\Workspaces\WorkSpace\WorkSets\OpenPlantImperial\Standards\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config

The user can also make his own customized style in this file if desired.

Part ID Prefix

The Part ID label can be prefixed with one or more characters to identify the part. A set of default English values are provided to identify the listed part types. Other languages may require a different prefix.
