Unfortunately you don't seem to be able to rotate tags to isometric angles, only horizontal or vertical.Īs I said, dimensions are a bit of a problem. You can rotate the text to align with the isometric axes but I don't think you can slant text at +30 and -30 degrees as you would probably normally do in Autocad (maybe someone could clarify this but I can't see an "oblique" option). You can quickly tag all items or groups of items using the "tag all" option on the annotation ribbon You can customise tags to your particular purpose, for example if you want every valve to have a unique reference then the tag would read the "mark" value perhaps.
I'm sure you already know, but for the benefit of others, before you annotate a 3D view its orientation must be locked. In the very rough example which I posted, those are all tags that you see, including those with flowrates, pipe size, system reference etc. So, for the exact reasons you stated to use a 3D view, we opted for sections as faster and required less work if they needed to be modified. In fact, we started utilizing sections to convey the same information.
That and other manual overrides just started to add up compared to alternative more automatic and flexible solutions. Not having pipes break at intersections was a big factor in the decision to not utilize 3D views for piping isometrics. When testing how feasible it was to create multiple isometrics like the second one you posted for a project which had quite a few different configurations, it was determined that it was too much manual work to make them acceptable. So, yeah, I know how easy it is to create then modify visibility settings, and crop them to suit the demands of the task at hand. In my world we use those as working views.
Your first example is a part of any decent modelers workflow. Savage, you can get on your soapbox and talk down to me like that all you want but you're making assumptions that do not apply.
