To extract HVAC isometrics automatically we use a 3d party utility in E3d draw. The utility extracts isometrics from the data provided and only thing the user has to do is to rearrange all overlapping Glabs/Slabs & dimensions so that the isometric looks clean and tidy.
Everything works fine but when we have to revise some isometrics, we again have to painstakingly rearrange all Glabs/Slabs & dimensions. A considerable amount of time is spent doing this, depending upon number of isometrics to revise. With regards to this I would like to ask if there is a utility that can save the positions of Glabs/Slabs & dimensions which can later be used to restore their positions once the Isometric is revised?
I would urge the community to either share a utility that can accomplish this or would appreciate if some gurus here on the forum come up with some quick pml code.
Main problem with glabs/slabs is that, they are connected to some element (ddname atribute). If element is moved, glab is moved too, if its removed, glab diseapear too. U can turn off OSET atribute, that mean glab position is not taken from connected element, but from owner (laye) and glab will not move. But glab's leader will still be pointing on connected element.
Another way is update only graphic and then reconnect every glab / slab & dim.
