Isometrics

Piping Design

Run the pipe isometrics from the pipeline of the active assembly model.

Running a Pipe Isometric in an Assembly

Isometrics are created for parts belonging to a particular line identifier (position) regardless of what level the parts are on in the assembly's hierarchy. A pipeline can be divided into several subassemblies if the parts have the same line identifier.

  1. Open the assembly model in the working window.
  2. On the tab, in the Drawings group, click Isometrics Special Symbols.
  3. Add special parts to the model. Select the component type.
    • Select the additional data symbol or message symbol from the library. Select the component in the browser. For example, reference-grid.bmp.
    • Enter the message symbol text.
    • Add the selected additional data or message for the pipe.
  4. Open the line position list.
    • On the tab, in the Drawings group, click Isometrics of Selected Positions.
    • Complete the information of the selected line position by clicking by the selected line position.
  5. Select the line position for the isometric from the list.
  6. If you wish to view the line position in the assembly model, click Markings ON button.
  7. Create the isometric drawings by selecting OK.

Note

  • Start the video help by clicking Shift + left mouse button on the button.
  • Set the asking of the isometric split point.

Running a Pipe Isometric from Selected Parts

  1. Open the assembly model in the working window.
  2. Do either of the following:
    • Select parts from the assembly tree.
    • Select parts from the assembly model.
  3. Select the context-sensitive function Pipe System> Create Isometrics.

Isometric from the selected positions

Create an isometric from a particular position by selecting a part belonging to that position.

  1. Open the assembly model in the working window.
  2. Do either of the following:
    • Select a part from the assembly tree.
    • Select a part from the model.
  3. Select the context-sensitive function Pipe System> Create Isometrics of Position.

Special Isometrics Symbol

  1. On the tab, in the Drawings group, click Isometrics Special Symbols.
  2. Select the component in the browser. For example, reference-grid.bmp.
  3. Enter the related position. Select in the field.
  4. Indicate the pipe.
  5. Indicate the starting point from the model.
  6. Indicate the end point from the model.
  7. Select Confirm.

Asking the Split Point

  1. On the tab, in the Drawings group, click Ask Split Point. Gets the value ON/OFF in turns when you select the function.
