Customizes the content and format of the isometric drawing for the active isometric
drawing style.
Many of the settings that you can configure using Isogen Configuration can be time-consuming. The Drawing Setup Tool enables you to edit drawing style properties in a graphic view, which can often be
much easier. You can graphically define the position of the drawing area on the backing
sheet and specify which user-defined reports, if any, are output on the drawing. You
can also use the tool to define the attributes that display on the drawing frame.
The options that you define in the tool can then be saved to the current isometric
drawing style so that they are applied to the generated drawings.
The Drawing Setup Tool consists of a series of tabbed pages, each of which contains a set of options and
properties that are specific to a particular aspect of the drawing setup, and a horizontal
and vertical toolbar. The pages listed below appear by default for each isometric
drawing style:
-
Basic Setup
-
Drawing Areas
-
Attributes
If a user-defined Material List, Weld List, or Cut List report is currently associated
with the selected isometric drawing style, or if you choose to add one of those reports
during the Drawing Setup Tool process, a tabbed page specific to that report type is automatically displayed so
that you can configure those settings as well.

Zoom In/Out increases or decreases the display size of the drawing template. You can zoom in
to get a closer view of an area or zoom out to view more of the drawing template at
a reduced size. Click the left mouse button and drag the pointer upward in the window
to increase the view of an object as though you were moving closer to it. Drag the
pointer downward in the window to reduce the view as though you are moving further
away from the object.

Zoom Window increases the view magnification of an area in the drawing template that you define
by creating a fence.

This command is available only when you select a Column category label on the Material List, Weld List, or Cut List page.
