Hi there,

after making a few changes in the .POS and .OPL files, I have suddenly started getting leaders to my bolts at the flanges.
These call up the bolts with J1, J2 etc. Not sure how to turn it off.
Also, under the BOM it has started listing the Pipe Spool numbers in table format.

These 2 items have only just appeared and I can't figure out why and how to turn them off.

Does anybody have any suggestions.

Many Thanks for viewing/helping.
Cheers

Hi there,
changes had nothing to do with dims or bolts, just adding the pipeline reference and drawing numbers.
I have no idea what J1, J2 etc mean.
Thanks

Sounds like a prefix has been set in one of the control files or the ISOGEN project settings. I know this can be done for welds, but I haven't seen it for bolts.

Yeah, it's tricky. I checked the project defaults, nothing, also checked the cadworx.alt file, nothing there either.
Will keep trying.
Thanks

Blackport, the only way to solve issues like these I have found is to create a another default "test" style. Open your options file and the "test" options file and compare.

Do the same for the *.ddf and *.alt etc. Guaranteed you'll find the culprit.
