Isogen® Drawing Options
The isometrics automatically created by Isogen are un-scaled and the tube sections shrunk or stretched to give the best layout on the paper. Isogen’s unique system logic produces clear, practical pipeline layouts, including cross-overs, based on industry practice.
Isogen’s automatic drawing options include:
- Dimensions, text positioning and item tagging
- Standard industry symbols - also covering food hygiene pipework
- Splitting long pipelines into multi-drawings
- Calculation and tabulation of cut pipe lengths
- Weld numbers generated
- Detailed Bill of Materials and optional material control interface file
An Isogen isometric is essentially a report where the user has a very high level of configuration available to tailor both the drawing and material list to his exact needs, including control of:
- Isometric type – Fabrication and construction; fabrication only; construction only; individual spool isometrics; multi-pipeline system isometrics
- Graphic output options – DXF, DWG
- Drawing size – Metric A series, American ANSI sizes, or special sizes
- Viewpoint orientation – Indicated by a north arrow
- Dimensions – Standard string, overall, pipe supports, and to valve centers
- Drawing frame – User-designed or standard
- Text – Large, medium, and small
Isogen’s drawing options include:
- Ability to reference dimensions to nearby objects external to the pipeline, such as steelwork and equipment
- Insulation/tracing/fluid flow on pipe and fittings
- Pipe centerline or BOP elevations
- Continuation/nozzle connection points shown by dotted pipeline indication
- Additional materials – The user can add-in materials to the bill of materials
- User-defined spool prefixing and numbering
- Support for hygienic pipework fittings
- Detail sketches
- Information notes
- Tapping points on fittings
- Unique part numbers
- Location points and penetrations
- Reinforcement pads on fabricated tees and crosses
- Alternative text – In-house terminology can be included as headings or messages, with support for foreign languages
- Text positioning – Standard information and symbols can be placed at user-defined locations
- Ability to ensure the same number of drawings, basic content, and spool and weld numbers following pipe design changes via isometric repeatability
- Grouping of messages on individual components
- Item code description and substitution
- User-defined fittings and symbols
- Choice of 2D or 3D skew representation
