The north direction and label formats can be set for each Isometric Style. Use the steps below to set the north direction.
Open the Isometrics Configuration tool
From the Isometric Configuration dialog:
The coordinate labels can be modified as required. This is also done in the Converter Settings section of the Isometric Style.
Label Formats – Specifies the annotation text to be used in coordinate labels
Coordinate Labels At All Extremities – This option will place coordinate labels at all open ends of the pipe system, including branched components, etc.
A slope threshold value is set to determine what is treated as a slope and what is considered as a vertical offset. The value is entered in degrees. Any vertical offset that is equal or less to the value will be treated and annotated as a slope. Use the steps below to change the value.
The Annotation Hatch section of the Isometric Style controls the triangle and hatch symbology for offsets.
The placement of pipe spool labels and the spool label definition can be specified in the User Labels configuration.
Use the following steps to turn off Pipe Spool Labels.
The following attributes define the setup of the spool labels:
Attribute
Description
Name
name for the label definition
Include
Component types to be included for label placement. In this case all component types are valid: “CT_*”
Exclude
Component types not to be included for label placement. In this case no component types are excluded:
Text
Text to be displayed in the Label. This definition should basically hold a reference to the internal component property: $(SPOOLID). Extra customization text can be added before or after the SPOOLID when needed.
Type
Label type: use the keyword “SPOOLID”. The program checks for this keyword to find the definition for the spool labels.
Cell Name
Name of the cell in the cell library that will be used to place spool labels. The cell should hold a so called “enter data field” where the spool-id text will be inserted.
Flags
Define “S” to make the label “spool aware”, i.e. only one label will be placed per spool. (Not one label per component.)
Style – Select the relevant style from the dropdown
Select Insulation from the treeChange the settings as required
Set the symbology as required
Click Save
Distance from Pipe Line – This setting defines the distance between the pipeline symbology and the insulation symbology. The value is specified in millimeters.
Note: The insulation is shown as a ghost line parallel to the pipe lines. This version of Isometrics manager does not show an insulation line around components.
