Hi Glen and Alan,

I think the better way is to contact the Account Manager, as Alan says, to investigate if someone can assist me in my project.

I would like to thank you for your valuable help.

Regards

Alessandro Orsetti

The interface between PlantSpace and AutoISOGEN as delivered, does not handle the situation you are considering.

The product could be configured to handle this, but you are looking at a lot of work and historically we did not have many requests to warrant the time required to provide this feature.

Modifications to Class Libraries and other files in PlantSpace to accomodate and extract the information required, modifications to AutoISOGEN to accept the information and produce the isometrics as requested. Some of the work done previously with the AutoPLANT interface to AutoISOGEN maybe able to be re-used on the AutoISOGEN side, but until time is spent to examine what was done that cannot be determined.

You may want to contact your Account Manager to investigate if our Services organization can assist you in the project.

Alessandro,

I am sorry I would need a PlantSpace expert to answer that question.

Hi Glen,

I would like to thank you for your kindly reply.

If I understand well, you think the AutoISOGEN provided with PlantSpace is not suitable to fulfill my needs.

Furthermore, I notice that some elements in modelled pipes (i.e. some tipes of joints) are not recognised by the AutoISOGEN when exporting the isometric and so the program fails.

Do you think I can compensate at least this problem or you suggest me to use the old (and traditional) view methods?

Hi Alessandro,

I remember doing this for Cable Trays WITH AutoPLANT. I guess if the PCF out is not open to extension then there will be no possibility. Of course you could also create an Isometric view using the view methods. May provide some benefit.
