Why deploy BUBBLEWorx?
Effortlessly inserts identification marks, aka bubbles, and Bill of Material tables:
Perfect for AutoCAD mechanical, electrical, and structural steel designers.
Automates component & weld identification numbering:
Take control by setting identifiers by tag, spec, or any other property with customizable bubble styles.
Compatible with AutoCAD Plant 3D & CADWorx 3D Models:
Provides identical detailing methods across platforms.
Ideal for Tagging components with their Asset Tags on location plan drawings:
PInserts Asset Tag with bubbles designed to split hyphenated values into bubble rows, and has provisions for northing, easting, and elevation annotations.
Uses system-generated numeric identifiers, or master-material marks:
An Excel material list with MARK, size, long description, and length can be used to bubble parts within layout drawings.
Processes AutoCAD PLANT 3D welded joints:
Automates weld numbering by property, line number, or selection sets, and includes change controls.
Compatibility with AutoCAD PLANT 3D Orthographic drawings:
Simplifies and expands the part and weld marking options around properties, line numbers, and layer states.
Methods and annotation standardization are built in:
Enforces consistent symbology, material lists, and point-of-interest identification.
Automatically synchronizes bubbles with 3D model changes:
One button quality assurance colorizes bubble changes or dissociations
Integrates with LINKWorx to create smarter bubbles:
Hyperlink bubbles to access related data and documentation within SOCKETWorx.

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.
