Isometric Drawing Generation - Intergraph Smart Isometrics - Help - Hexagon

After the sketch is completed and fully dimensioned, the final stage in creating an isometric is to generate the drawing using Isogen. The graphic below illustrates the tasks that the drawing generation process typically includes.

You can generate your isometrics one drawing at a time, or you can use the batch functionality delivered with the software to generate multiple drawings simultaneously. After the drawing generation process finishes, you can view and print the isometric drawing using either the software associated with the output drawing file type or by using the SmartSketch View software that is software delivered on the Smart Isometrics product CD.

For more information regarding how to install SmartSketch Viewer, read the Smart Isometrics Installation Guide, available with the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

While the process of creating a drawing is usually trouble-free, occasional problems, such as disconnected or inconsistent pipelines, can occur. In these instances, depending on the severity of the problem, the software does one of the following:

• Generates the drawing and alerts you of the inconsistency or incidence of disconnected pipe so that you can take appropriate corrective action.

• Fails to complete the drawing generation process altogether until the problem is corrected.
