The following changes have been made to Isogen Isometric Drawings.

Hot Fix and Service Pack Updates

  • The software now supports the output of Quick Response (QR) codes on the isometric drawing. See Display QR codes on the isometric drawing (see ). (P2 CP:318493)

  • You can now add related reference or additional callout text for a detail envelope during any stage of creation (before or after an update). See Edit Detail Envelope Ribbon. (P2 CP:354245)

Version 2016 (11.0)

  • You can now produce cable tray and HVAC isometric drawings. To support this enhancement, the Style list on the Setup dialog box now enables you to filter styles according to the isometric drawing type. See Setup Dialog Box (Isogen Isometric Drawing by Query Component).(P2 CP:273785 and CP:209035)

    If you are using with the current version of Smart 3D, cable tray and HVAC isometric drawing options are limited to beta access. As such, drawing options specific to cable tray and HVAC isometrics are not visible in by default. To turn on cable tray and HVAC options so that you have access to the full array of drawing settings when configuring Smart 3D isometric drawings, please contact PPM Smart Community.

  • To support the creation of cable tray and HVAC isometric drawings, two new drawing styles are delivered with the software: Iso_CableTray and Iso_HVAC. See Isometric Drawing Styles.

  • The function of the piping component file (PCF) has been extended. In addition to piping content, the PCF now supports the transfer of HVAC and cable tray content and configuration information between Smart 3D and Isogen.

  • In previous versions of the software, you used TreatTapsOnPipeAsTeeStubs to specify whether the software managed taps as tee stubs or as regular taps when generating a piping isometric drawing or when creating a piping component file (PCF). The software now treats all radial taps placed on pipe as set-on tees, or tee stubs. All non-radial taps remain as taps. (P2 CP:255192)

  • Previous versions of Smart 3D refer to Piping Isometric Drawings. Because the software now supports the production of cable tray and HVAC isometric drawings, the UI now reflects the generic term Isogen Isometric Drawings. This document has been updated to reflect this change in the UI. (P2 CP:259784)

  • The Isometric Style Options Browser, which enabled you to control all of the options related to the appearance and information content of the isometric drawing, has been replaced with Isogen Configuration. See Work with Isogen Configuration. (P2 CP:255749)

  • You can now show the slope symbol without any angle/ratio for sloped lines. (P3 CP:157751)

  • Isogen Configuration supports the ability to import a style fragment. See Import data from a style XML file. (P2 AL:14940)

  • You can export a customized set of isometric drawing properties, Alternative Text, and report definitions to a style .xml file. See Export an isometric drawing style and Export Style Fragment Dialog. (P2 AL:14965)

  • Isogen Configuration supports a new file path macro, $SYMBOLSHARE$. This macro enables you to reference the SharedContent folder when specifying any path within an isometric drawing style. Previous versions of the software required you to specify a hard-coded path to reference any file located in the SharedContent folder. (P2 CP:105056)

  • PCF syntax now supports the following material attributes: GEOMETRIC-STANDARD, MATERIAL-OF-CONSTRUCTION,OUTSIDE-DIAMETER, OUTSIDE-DIAMETER2, RATING, RATING2, SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE2, WALL-THICKNESS, and WALL-THICKNESS2. (P2 CP:248316)

  • Added guidelines for creating a dotted dimensioned label. See Create a dotted dimensioned label.

  • The following changes are specific to the isometric drawing properties supported by the software. See What's New in the Isometric Drawing Options Reference Help. Smart 3D-specific properties are listed under Isometric Extraction in Intergraph Smart 3D.

    • A new options group, Grouping, has been added to Drawing Area.Graphics. (P2 AL:10443)

    • The Group graphics by UCI option allows you to control how graphics are grouped in the output CAD file. (P2 AL:10443)

    • The Welds and Joints style category has been re-organized to improve its overall layout. (P2 AL:14803)

    • The software now supports horizontal positioning of the dimension standout. (P2 AL:11970)

    • The software supports the ability to pull properties directly from the Drawing Sheet object. (P2 CP:123112)

    • The number of user-definable Alternative Text (AText) strings that the software supports has been expanded. (P2 CP:74293)

    • A new OidType called Drawing Sheet enables you to pull properties directly from the Drawing Sheet object.(P2 CP:123112)

    • The software supports user-specified reference dimension placement locations on a piping isometric drawing. As part of this new functionality, the Placement property is renamed to Automatic Placement, and a new setting, Off, has been added. (P3 CP:176166)

    • The software supports output of a double-banked material list on the isometric drawing. Previous versions of the software supported offsetting the material list section only along the Y (or vertical) direction of the drawing using Section2 Y Offset and Section3 Y Offset. Now you can also offset the material list section along the X (or horizontal) direction of the drawing using Section2 X Offset and Section3 X Offset. You can set this option using Materials.Drawing Material List.User Defined. (P3 CP:250733)

      You can also use the Drawing Setup Tool to set the horizontal offset for the report data contained in Section 2 and Section 3 of the material list. See X under Section Two and Section Three in Drawing Areas Page and Material List Page.

    • You can use Smart 3D.Content.General.DisableTapToTeeStub to disable the default behavior of the software to treat taps on pipe as set-on tees. (P3 CP:343001)

Added information about using pipeline data text attributes to dynamically name Isogen output files.
