Insulation thickness

How to get insulation thickness in isometric?

If you want it in the bom the procedure is:
1) Add INSTHICK to your [MAP_FIELDNAMES] section in the C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant XM\xchg\pcf\PCF.INI file.
2) Add INSTHICK to your FINAL.MLD file with the other BOM fields (style 2 or 3 bom).

If you want it in your title block it is a little more work. You need to make sure you are comfortable with editing EBS files. Modify the OPCFHDR.EBS file to output the INSTHICK value as one of your custom -600 to -609 pipeline attributes. In the AT_PCF_HEADER_OUT function declare a variable called INSTHK and then down after the PIPELINE-REFERENCE line has been written out there is a line "If (nSysIso = 0) Then" that you will add the following after:
nStat = at_Component_getString (InsThk, compID, "INSTHICK")
InsThk=format$(InsThk,"#0.0")
nStat = at_XchgWritelnText(" ATTRIBUTE50 " & InsThk)
Now you have defined a pipeline attribute 650 that you can reference in the POS file. Caveat: the above is the proper procedure but I personally have not actually put insulation thickness on the iso frame so be prepared for the usual Isogen funkiness.

thanks jharris for your reply. I know that it will come by editing opcfhrd.ebs. But i am not comfortable with ebs script writing, so don't want to touch that file. Thanks for the first option i will try that one.& also try to learn script writing,If it works i will try second option
If any one have already edited opcfhrd.ebs for
1. Insulation thickness
2. Design pressure
3. Test pressure
