Common Use Cases
BUBBLEWorx inserts identification (ID) TAG bubbles on components.
It reaches into the CADWorx TAG, or Isogen supplemental, data, and processes it into bubble content.
All bubbles are smart because they link to the 3D components.
If the component ID changes, BUBBLEWorx will update all bubbles and highlight those that have become disconnected.
Bubble content can be broken down into single, double, or triple rows by applying the corresponding MLeader styles.
MLeader styles support all the bubbling geometry, like circles, hexagons, ovals, rectangles, etc.
BUBBLEWorx generates weld log tables against Default or Custom properties.
It automatically inserts hyperlinks to support online data entry.
Prefix Shop, Field, and Field fit with any alphanumeric value. Expand with Custom Fields to satisfy compliance requirements.

Global Material List (MML) is a strategy to assign BOM MARKs to components to annotate them with the same value across all drawings.
MTOWorx creates an MML automatically, or users can create and maintain it.
The resultant Excel worksheet is loaded into BUBBLEWorx so users can see the data without opening the MML worksheet.
Once the MML is loaded, users can MARK components and populate the drawing BOM with predefined ID values.
The bubbles are smart because they are linked to the component and MML.
BUBBLEWorx will automatically update MARK values and highlight bubbles that have lost their connection.
Another popular feature is how BUBBLEWorx can organize the BOM table groups (Pipe, Fittings, Valves, etc.).
Turn on the Counter feature in AutoCAD PLANT 3D and BUBBLEWorx inserts marks and corresponding tables with Unique Identifiers.
This feature was added to satisfy positive material identification (PMI) requirements of pipeline, PSM, hygienic, and other applicable project types.

Paperspace drawing BOM MARKs can be identical to Isogen drawing BOM MARKs.
BUBBLEWorx automatically transfers Master Material List MARK values to every 3D model component’s Isogen Mark field.
In this way, Isogen drawings bubbles will have the same MARKs as plans, sections, and auxiliary details produced using traditional Modelspace to Paperspace methods.
BUBBLEWorx will insert bubbles on CADWorx Steel and Structure components.
A Master Material List (MML) can be created by BUBBLEWorx or developed independently. The MML MARK, or ID, value for each steel component populates the bubbles and tables.
