Replace text strings with values from the POD file - Isogen - Help

Objective: Display the total weld diameter value on the isometric drawing.

1. Use the Project Defaults > Attributes > New command in I-Configure to define a TotalWeldDiameter attribute, and assign it a default value of <TWD>.

   

   Isogen populates pre-defined drawing frame attribute tags that are placed on the isometric drawing.

2. Use the Drawing Setup Tool in Isogen Configuration to text position the TOTAL-WELD-DIAMETER attribute.

   

3. Set up the Isogen Reporting .xml configuration file as needed. In this instance, you will use a REPLACE element similar to the example.

<!-- Using IR to output calculated values to the drawing frame -->
REPLACE String='&lt;TWD&gt;' SumBySheet='C.WELD-ATRIBUTE4' Format='F1" />

The &lt; and &gt; characters are necessary in XML to pass the < and > characters.

1. Map the Isogen Reporting configuration file in Isogen Configuration. For more information, see Set up Isogen Reporting output.

2. Generate the drawing.

   The software outputs total weld diameter on the drawing.
