Field Welds in Isogen

[Dagwoodzz]

I would like for isogen identify field welds with a leader and comment. (i.e. <--FW). My isogen config skills are very novice.

in the opcfhder.ebs it reads....

Const AT_PORT_DEFPORTS = 0
Const AT_PORT_ALLPORTS = 2

Const SHOP_WELD = 1
Const FIELD_WELD = 2
Const FIELD_FIT_WELD = 3
Const TACK_FIELD_WELD = 4
Const TACK_FIELD_FIT_WELD = 5
Const OFFSHORE_WELD = 6
Const OFFSHORE_FIELD_TACK_WELD = 7
Const OFFSHORE_FIELD_FIT_WELD = 8
Const AUTOMATIC_SHOP_WELD = 9
Const SPECIAL_SITE_WELD = 10

Const AT_CADUNITS_DECIMAL As Integer = 2


The line that reads "Const FIELD_WELD = 2"

is this what would control this? Am I in the ball park? any help is appreciated!

If you want to add a prefix to Field Weld? if so, you should go to edit *.wdf file, do not modify opcfhder.ebs.
This is a sample of *.wdf file:

WELD-PREFIXES
FABRICATION S-

WELD-NUMBERS-START
FABRICATION 1

I don't get it. Understand I'm a newbie

My spools.wdf file reads...

WELD-BOX-HEADINGS
Weld|Shop|Weld|Welder|Visual|Rad|Fab.QA
No |/Fld|Proc| ID |Accept| % |Accept
WELD-BOX-DATA-ITEMS
'WELD-NO' 1 L
'WELD-CAT' 6 L
'WELD-TYPE' 11 L

I'm attaching an image to illustrate my question.

Notice the FFW bottom left is tagged as such. The FW in the top right has no tag. I would like for the FW to be tagged with an arrow an labeled FW. Similar to the FFW.

Thanks, Daniel

Can I understand your mean as below:
1. You want to add a prefix to Field Weld
2. You want to disable the Weld Number displaying
aren't they?

Unfortunately, if you want to show the prefix of Weld, you must set the Weld Number enabled.

They are controlled in 2 places:
1) The Weld Number Prefix Text is defined in the Weld Prefixes Section of the Welding Definition File (WDF) - following the weld category keyword -
GENERAL Weld Number Prefix Text
FABRICATION Weld Number Prefix Text
ERECTION Weld Number Prefix Text
OFFSHORE Weld Number Prefix Text
SUPPORT-FABRICATION Weld Number Prefix Text
SUPPORT-ERECTION Weld Number Prefix Text
SUPPORT-OFFSHORE Weld Number Prefix Text
e.g.
WELD-PREFIXES
FABRICATION F
ERECTION E
SUPPORT-FABRICATION SF
SUPPORT-ERECTION SE

Note that the keyword GENERAL is used for all categories of weld number prefix

2) They are switched on in O.S. 75, you can see the attached picture.

The settings you given to me are only for generating weld list in isometric. You should add the section which be given form me.

Gook luck!
