The sample iso's which are used to populate graphics in IConfigure as you change settings are set up with NPS. I have work which is being set up with metric OD, so I need to change the size ranges for the drawing graphics e.g. rather than major pipe being 2.5 - 0, it's 89 - 0. But that means items don't generate correctly, since the size ranges are radically different.

Is there a way to change/add extra sample sheets in IConfigure, so I can work with the correct values? I haven't seen any lone PCFs which

I am really struggling to follow you post ? Are you wanting to change the default pipline shown in the ECP ?

Yes. The graphics aren't really meeting my needs, so I'm hoping to replace the data with something more suitable.

Some testing in the meantime show temporary generation of PCF files (along with the supporting ISOGEN files) in the local Windows temp folder. These are deleted when IConfigure is closed. In theory they would be copied from an original or generated from a data source, but I cannot find a PCF, IDF, DWG, XML, or other potential source.

Could you not just run an a test iso like in the days of old ?

Once the style is configured and being used in production, the preview is of little value unless I am missing something somewhere in this post.

I find quite a bit of value in the previews, as they give immediate feedback on what the changes will (mostly) look like, without needing to run CADWorx and have a workable model with all the desired test features. I used to use the whole run iso/tweak settings/run iso cycle in the PipMan days, and the preview in IConfigure is substantially faster - especially at the very start of setting up a system with no existing models, isometric styles, or anything else.

The Previews are fantastic don't get me wrong, but there is no way (that I know of) How to customize them with user data.
