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.
- Open the assembly model in the working window.
- On the tab, in the Drawings group, click Isometrics Special Symbols.
- 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.
- Open the line position list.
- On the tab, in the Drawings group, click Isometrics of Selected Positions.

- Do either of the following:
- Select parts from the assembly tree.
- Select parts from the assembly model.
- 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.
- Open the assembly model in the working window.
- Do either of the following:
- Select a part from the assembly tree.
