March 2017

Isometric Extraction (General)

  • A new options group, PDF Export, contains properties that enable you to export a generated drawing directly to a PDF file. For more information, see PDF Export. (P2 AL:4682)

  • The Indent Description on Overflow option enables you to control the indentation of description text in the plotted material list. This option is available for the fixed layout format material list and the variable layout format material list. For more information, see Variable and Fixed. (P3 AL:16128)

Isometric Extraction for CADWorx Plant Professional

  • When defining mapping between custom data and Isogen, the software now supports browsing the selected specification for the custom data field to map. Previous versions required you to type the data field value. (P2 AL:16675)

  • A new options group, Material Attribute Mapping, supports mapping between CADWorx custom material data and Isogen attributes.

Isometric Extraction for Intergraph Smart 3D

  • The software now supports the output of control point notes on components along with the ability to define a message enclosure for the control point note. For more information, see Keypoint Notes. (P2 CP:111363)

December 2016

Isometric Extraction (General)

August 2016

Isometric Extraction (General)

  • The software supports mapping between Isogen attributes and backing sheet attributes. Isogen automatically populates the drawing with this data during isometric drawing generation. For more information, see Backing Sheet Data. (P2 AL:15973)

Version 2016

Isometric Extraction (General)

  • This is a new document. Previously, the supporting documentation for the Isogen isometric drawing options were delivered as an appendix in the Isogen Configuration Help.

  • 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 software now supports mapping between a custom data field from a CADWorx specification and an Isogen attribute. For more information see, CADWorx. (P3 AL:15843)

Isometric Extraction in Intergraph Smart 3D

  • This is a new document. Previously, supporting documentation for Smart 3D-specific and Isogen isometric drawing options were delivered as an appendix in the Piping Isometric Drawings Help.

  • You can now configure settings specific to cable tray and HVAC isometric drawings.

    If you are using ISOGEN Configuration 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 ISOGEN Configuration 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.

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

  • ISOGEN Configuration now 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)

  • Drawing Sheet has been added as an OidType, enabling you to pull properties directly from the Drawing Sheet object. For more information, see Drawing Frame. (P2 CP:123112)

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

  • The software now 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 both options using Materials.Drawing Material List.User Defined. For more information, see Section2 X Offset and Section3 X Offset. (P3 CP:250733)
