Controls how minor angular deviations detected in the pipeline input data file are interpreted and acted upon. These deviations can result in the output of unwanted skews on the isometric drawing. You can define an angular cut-off value with this switch so that the system ignores any skew that is found to have an angular deviation below this value.
You can also use this option switch to turn on and off the mitre weld callout that Isogen outputs on the isometric drawing. When Isogen encounters a mitre weld in a pipeline, the system outputs a change message on the isometric drawing. You can suppress the output of the callout by defining a minimum angle. If Isogen encounters angular changes that fall below this user-specified value, it does not report ay mitre weld change messages on the isometric drawing.
Switch Settings
The following settings are available for Option Switch 115:
Switch Positions 1, 2 and 3 - Angular Offset Tolerance
|
0 |
Set no angular offset tolerance. This is the default setting. |
|
Value |
Set angular offset tolerance, where Value represents the user-defined offset in the 1/100th degree. For example, for 0.5 degree cut-off, enter 50. |
Switch Positions 4, 5, and 6 - Mitre Weld Angle Limit
|
0 |
Set no weld angle limit. This is the default setting. |
|
Value |
Set the mitre weld angle limit, where Value represents the user-specified angle (in 1/100th degrees) below which Isogen outputs no change message on the isometric drawing. The value must be less than 10°. |
