Controls the drawing format, size, and the template file used as the backing sheet. You can also specify which user-defined reports are to be plotted on the isometric drawing when it is generated.
Template
Displays the file to be used for the drawing backing sheet. Click Browse , and navigate to the required template file.
Drawing Output Format
Controls the 2D CAD file format that Isogen creates during isometric drawing generation. Select one of the following: AutoCAD DXF (DXF), MicroStation (DGN), Smart DWG (DWG), Smart DGN (DGN), Smart DGN v8 (DG8), SmartSketch (IGR), or Shape2d (SHA). The default format is Smart DWG.
Allow Isogen to generate standard drawing frame
Ignores the user-specified template backing sheet. When this option is selected, Isogen generates drawings using its own built-in drawing frame.
Drawing Size
Displays the standard paper size for the isometric drawing. Select A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, ANSI "A", ANSI "B", ANSI "C", ANSI "D", ANSI "E", or Custom. The drawing size that you select is shown superimposed in green on the backing sheet, as shown in the example below.
Width
Sets the width of the drawing. This option is available only if you set Drawing Size to Custom.
Height
Sets the height of the drawing area. This option is available only if you set Drawing Size to Custom.
Backing Sheet Units
Indicates the drawing units to be used. Typically, backing sheet units are used only for DXF and DWG formats. Select inches or mm.
When using formats other than DXF and DWG, setting this option to mm gives the best results within the Drawing Setup Tool.
User Defined Material List
Indicates whether a Material List report is output on the isometric drawing. To include this report on the isometric drawing, select its check box. If you select this option, you must also specify the Number of sections. Clear the check box to suppress the report output.
User Defined Weld List
Indicates whether a Weld List report is output on the isometric drawing. To include this report on the isometric drawing, select its check box. Clear the check box to suppress the report output.
User Defined Cut List
Indicates whether a Cut List report is output on the isometric drawing. To include this report on the isometric drawing, select its check box. Clear the check box to suppress the report output.
Number of sections
Specifies the number of sections included for the user-defined Material List report that is output on the isometric drawing. Select One, Two, or Three. This option is available only if User Defined Material List is selected.
