Administrating Piping Isometrics & Spools

The project administrator may have to perform the following tasks to configure Piping Isometrics & Spools to produce isometric drawings with the desired layout.

Define Isometric Drawing Symbols

Piping Isometrics & Spools has its own "Isometric Drawing Symbol" objects in the COS library for piping components to be shown in drawings. Depending on user environment, these symbols can vary project by project, so the project administrator may have to add symbols.

Define General Drawing Style

There are numerous options in the Settings menu to set up the drawings policy. Some of these settings are locally stored in the Piping Isometrics & Spools area, but mostly the settings are stored in the "Shared settings" object in the COS database. See Shared settings.

Define Automatic Annotation Scripts

These scripts make it possible to customize in detail the way in which Piping Isometrics & Spools does automatic annotation. The scripts are stored in COS databases.

Define 2D Symbols for Labels

The use of 2D symbols is described in Label definitions.

Define Bill of Materials and Cut Lists

The basics are explained in ICGDs; a more specific view is given later in this section.
