Steps in Loop Drawing Generation Using a CAD Application - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

Smart Instrumentation enables you to generate drawings for loop numbers in your domain using an external CAD application. The main steps required to generate these loop drawings are as follows:

• Drawing Preparations

  • CAD Loop Drawing Generation

  • Insert Macros in an AutoCAD Drawing Block

• Defining Blocks in Smart Instrumentation

  • Add a Block Type

  • CAD Drawing Blocks in Smart Instrumentation

  • Loop Blocks

• Setting CAD Application Parameters
