Understanding Symbol Keys

All components generated by ISOGEN are defined by unique symbol key referred to as SKEYS.

The Symbols Editor is supplied with CADWorx to allow users to quickly alter existing re-definable ISOGEN symbol key shapes (SKEYS) to meet their drawing annotation needs.

Character Code

SKEYS are defined by a 4 character code. The first two characters define the component type and the last two define the end type.

ISOGEN uses (**) to automatically assign predefined component end-types. The (**) allows CADWorx to assign end-types as predetermined by the CADWorx end connections and conditions.

ISOGEN component SKEYS allow default end-type definitions. In some cases an SKEY with component type VG** can be VGFL.

Component Type

End Type

Gate Valve

Symbol Information

An identifier is the component type An SKEY is a component symbol

Piping Component File (PCF)

The PCF file contains the definition for each component of it’s symbol and it’s associated end-types. ISOGEN uses this PCF definition to generate the isometric plot.

Spec Editor Configuration

By default the Identifier and the SKEY values will be blank. This indicates that CADWorx will handle ISOGEN symbol assignment.

End Type Overwrite

The CADWorx ISOGEN Properties dialog provides End Connections and Conditions fields to allow users to overwrite the SKEYS end-types at each end point.

User Definable Symbols

The following symbol categories can be redefined:

Non User Definable Symbols

The following symbol categories can not be redefined. Elbows Pulled Bends Tees Crosses

Single Level Valves

These identifiers can be redefined by changing the common shape that has been assigned to the SKEY.

Multi Level Valves

The SKEY for the VALVE-MULTIWAY will remain as shown below

Symbol Editor Interface

Symbol Workflow

In the Library Explorer, select a component category or type If necessary, preview the symbols in the library explorer tree

To customize the symbol, Select Symbol > New Symbol Specify new SKEY name, if needed, copy graphics and choose spindle

Use the Edit Window to make changes to symbol Predefined start, exit, and spindle points are displayed A preview box displays the spindle and plotted isometric view Draw the symbol with the line, rectangle, and circle buttons

To save the redefined symbols Export the XML file The import option allows users to import other redefined symbols

For CADWorx isometrics use the Export ISOGEN Symbols option The Export ISOGEN Symbols creates a ASCII file

Associate the ASCII symbols file with Isometric Styles using I-Configure Create CADWorx isometrics using updated styles to see the results

New Symbol Dialog Box

Specify a new SKEY name or overwrite existing SKEY Specify the new SKEY Description as needed The Original SKEY is a selection to choose the base symbol Specify the associated Spindle SKEY if applicable

The spindle option will only be available for valves Check Copy original symbol graphics as needed Click OK

Symbol Management Configure ISOGEN Questions

Best Practice

If the default SKEY uses ** for end-type then the user defined overwrite of that SKEY also has to use ** for the end-type. Otherwise two symbols could be applied to the VG SKEY (e.g. VGFL can be VG** or VGFL in the library)

User defined SKEY should not use the same SKEY already defined under a different component type.

New Symbol Points

By default a new symbol will have the following 3 points defined Start Point Spindle End Point

Tapping Points

Tap Points are needed for connectivity in the isometric drawing. As a precaution it is recommended if you plan to connect CADWorx components to this component type then always add tap points.

Tapping Rules

The software allows you to place up to 9 tapping points according to the following rules. No more than 3 tapping points can be: On the vertical axis To the left of the vertical axis To the right of the vertical axis On the horizontal axis To the left of the horizontal axis To the right of the horizontal axis

Warning: The Symbol Editor will not warn you if they are located incorrectly. The Symbol Editor does not perform any rule-checking regarding tapping point placement.

Insulation & Tracing

ISOGEN Option Switch 61 and 62 must be turned on for Insulation and tracing to show on the isometric drawing :

Properties Dialog

In the Library Explorer, right-click an SKEY and view the symbol properties.

The property information for a system symbol is read-only and cannot be modified. System symbols appear as black text in the Library Explorer.

The property information for a redefined symbol can be modified. Redefined symbols appear as blue text in the Library Explorer.

Symbol Library

Symbols can be saved to an XML library. If any customized symbols exist in the imported symbol library, the component group and component type labels display in blue text.

Symbol Library: XML File

Export ISOGEN Symbols

Symbols that you create with Symbol Editor must be exported to an XML- or ASCII-based file. These symbol libraries can, in turn, be imported into Symbol Editor so that individual symbols can be modified and then saved. To use any symbols that you define in Symbol Editor on an isometric drawing generated in a third party 3D design tool, they must be exported to an ISOGEN ASCII symbol file.

Questions

Assign the ASCII symbols file to the ISOGEN Isometric Style

I-Configure allows users to create and manage the isometric directories, projects and styles that are used by CADWorx to generate isometric drawing and report outputs.

Map the ASCII Symbols file. Remember to export style.
