Line View Palette – Line Isolate

Isolate each line number for continuity

User Shapes

All components need to be CADWorx Plant components. CADWorx Spec Editor is very robust, but if you need something a bit

more detailed you can create a User Shape

Start Signs

Start Signs help ISOGEN create drawings that follow the flow of the line.

Ancillary Data - Instruments

Adding a Tag and using the following SKEY will draw a component as an instrument on the iso.

Ancillary Data – Flow Arrows

Use the IsogenSupl command to insert Flow Arrows

Ancillary Data - Notes

You can use either the Tag or the Message Text to leave notes in the model.

Note the $ to provide a carriage return in ISOGEN

Discontinuity View

The Discontinuity View allows you to see several types of disconnects that could cause issues with ISOGEN and CAESAR II

There are three types; Disconnected, Not On Line, and Overlaps

Bill Of Materials

You should check the long descriptions before running isos. A quick way to do this is using BOMTOTAL in the model.

Line View Palette - Find

Lets use the Line View Palette Find tab to find those erroneous long descriptions.

IsogenBatch

Running IsogenBatch allows us to check multiple lines numbers in our model at one time by providing a report of which lines were successful or failed.

Stop Signs

For consistent isos, it is important to place stop signs in the model. Even if we are simply matching the split points ISOGEN used.

More Ancillary Data – Support Data

You can add a Direction, custom SKEY, Message and even a Detailed Sketch to your supports

More Ancillary Data – Penetrations

Just like flow arrows the IsogenSupl command includes wall and grade penetrations.

More Ancillary Data – Reference Dimensions

Reference Dimensions can be added to the model so they come out in the iso.

IsogenOut for Testing

Typically IsogenOut is used for testing purposes only. If you have an iso that is having difficulties running, you can use IsogenOut on several components at a time to determine if those components are the problem components

IsogenBatch is used for production ready isos. These isos will include all connecting equipment and other line numbers.
