Enhancements (V2022.318.1000)
MLeader Style properties
You can set the Arrowhead Symbol of the mleader style, and the BUBBLEWorx bubble will now show the symbol.
Note that you can turn off the symbol by setting it to None in the mleader style.
Bubble CWExploded Usershapes
You can now get your CWExploded usershapes to show up in the Bill of Materials overcoming a current CWX Plant limitation. This helps with our trimmed ELECTROWorx cable tray.
Weight Accumulation
The weight of similar items is now accumulated for a total weight per line item in the MML BOM.
Fixes and Usability
- MML bubble orientation for Plant 3D was only working for upper right angles.
- Fixed crash when adding bubbles for Plant3D Equipment components.
- Fixed zero width for header columns. This would cause issues when inserting the BOM Table.
- Added the ability to create a previously stored layer.
Fixed BricsCAD compatibility issues.
Fixed sorting MML Mark numbers with Alpha prefixes.

September 2021
Enhancements (V2021.245)
Custom Plant3D Fields in BOMs
Add Custom P3D Properties to BUBBLEWorx BOMs.
The Display Names are used as column headers.
Here is how WorkOrder is added and then used in BUBBLWorx Tables.
Split Pipe and Fitting Tables
Added the ability to isolate pipe into separate BOM tables. There is a new toggle to split Pipe/Fittings BOMs.
Also, mark start numbers have been added for both so there is numeric separation too.
Fractional Inches, more BOM flexibility
Switch to Fractional Inches. The result will be a quantity totaled up in inches where any decimal remainder is presented as fractions.
Automatic Bubble Stacking
Added a toggle for AutoCAD PLANT 3D models so BUBBLEWorx will automatically stack Connector parts.
Fixes and Usability
- Syncing the MML Tags will now update the associated MML tables.
- When using the unit Whole Feet, we round up to the next whole foot.
- When similar items have the same data except for one column, we now correctly separate that item. For example, when users add Tags to an item and the Tag column is visible, the separate tags will be shown on separate lines.
- There is better parity between MML and BOM-generated material lists.
- Clearer notifications when used settings layers are missing in the current drawing.
- Fix single selection error due to AutoCAD Status Bar flickering.
- Faster Plant3D Ortho drawing processing.
- Data columns will now be justified using the settings found in Worx Settings.
- The Header and Title Rows will use the header justification setting found in Worx Settings.
- Added a Start Number to Weld Tab Interface.

Added Weld Tab
<<Video Upcoming>>
We have added a Weld Tab so you can quickly bubble all of your welds in a model.
The Weld Tab can also filter the selection to CustomData like Work Orders and give you separate tables for each Work Order.
Added SOCKETWorx linking to the bubbles.
You can now link your items directly to SOCKETWorx! When you bubble with BUBBLEWox your bubbles can add a hyperlink to them. This allows you to go directly to the data from a PaperSpace drawing or even a printed PDF. SOCKETWorx gives you access to a comprehensive reporting and querying system at your fingertips.
Added more Tag blocks
We have included a Northing, Easting, and Elevation version of all the Tag blocks.
