Mapdl.pnum doesn't seem to work when doing eplot

See original GitHub issue

I tried plotting elements along with element type number in the plot, using PNUM command. But, I don’t get the type numbers on the plot. Please let me know if I am missing something (tested both full and power graphics)

mapdl.pnum(label='TYPE',key='1')
print(mapdl.pnum(label='STAT'))
mapdl.eplot(vtk=True,cpos='xy',show_edges=True,line_width=2)

Anyway, we have to remember to mention the limitations (e.g. pnum not working; instead use parameters) in the documentation when updating the plotting system.

I’ll add in a note:: directive into the plotting methods to make a note about pnum.

Also, I fixed my comment and removed your comment because I didn’t want to confuse anyone else. Thanks for the correction!
