Session 1


Objectives

From the pipe routes produced in design we can produce fabrication, erection,

system and trim isometrics. Isodraft, the Isometric drawing production module uses a

series of Option Files to produce these differing isometrics.

At the end of this session you will be able to:

• Produce a simple Isometric from standard option files.

Must Know Points

It is important to understand the following points about Isometric Production

• The principles relating to Isometric Option Files.

Module 13 Isometric Production 1-1





Detail Isometric production is the subject other courses, however, since arequirement of all piping designers is the production of check or stress isometrics,the basic techniques of what is a simple operation are covered here.

Accessing Isodraft

Before you can produce an isometric, you must ensure that pipe(s) or branch(es)have been check through the Datacon utility. The isometric will fail if componentshave lost their Spref (specification reference), are poorly aligned or overlap. A visualcheck, ensuring that no dashed line appears is not sufficient.

From design, you can access Isodraft using Design>modules>Isodraft> macrofiles.

Once in the Isodraft module, you will be presented with a members list, showing thecontents of the Design DB and a graphical view, similar to that in Design.

1-2 Module 13 Isometric Production




Default Isodr aft forms

Isodraft has a number of options to control the appearance, content and type of isometric.

2 alternatives are supplied each with an option to produce metric or imperial outputdata, thus giving 4 option files altogether.

Before accessing 1 of these option files, using the members form, navigate to asuitable pipe or branch as you would in Design.

From the top menu bar on the viewing form, select Isometric>Standard





The current element is that of the pipe in the hierarchy. The 4 option files are listedand BASIC.MET has been selected.

Clicking the Apply button will generate an isometric in the graphical viewing area.





CE

The member in the hierarchy becomes the current element. Navigating to another pipe or branch and then clicking the CE button will update the form and re-clickingapply will generate an isometric of the new pipe or branch

DetailThis can be changed to ’Detail List’ and several pipes or branches can be selectedand multiple isometrics generated.

Produce

This can be changed to generate:

Transfer files Used to interface with other systems.

Batch macro Useful when large quantities of isometrics are required. Anysuch macro is usually run overnight.

Bolt Report Bolts are only generated in Isodraft, so this function generate areport of bolts for pipes and branches identified in the detail list.

The ADVANCED options will not work on the pipes you have created, since itrequires part-numbers to be generated in the Design DB. This option is used inconjunction with the Spooler module of PDMS.





Default Isometric

Option files

Within differing companies and the projects they undertake, there will be specificisometric requirements. Backing sheet details, dimensioning, material list contents

etc.. It is the responsibility on the project administrator to create the option filesrequired and inform designers of there significance.






Exercise 1

Try producing isometrics of the pipes you have designed. Ensure you have Dataconchecked them and amended any significant errors before running Isodraft.
