During the conversion of AutoPlant data, the software calculates component properties using the following guidelines:

  • Item Code 1 - Taken from the PIECE_MARK field in the database.

  • Item Code 2 - Taken from the ALT_P_MARK field in the database.

  • Description - Taken from the LONG_DESCR or the SHORT_DESC field in the database depending on the AutoPlant project settings. For more information, see AutoPlant Projects.

  • Bores and Dimensions - Depending on the component type, as defined by the SmartPlant Isometrics configuration code, the software calculates bores and dimensions using one or more of the following fields:

  • Isogen Symbol Key (SKEY) - Depending on the module specified, the software, using the component GTYPE, STYPE and end conditions, looks in the CLASS.INI file and determines the SKEY.

  • SmartPlant Isometrics Configuration Codes - From the SKEY, the software uses the SKEYUser.tbl and the SKEY.tbl files to determine the correct configuration codes. For more information, see Appendix: Configuration Files.

    During setup, the SKEY.tbl file is delivered to <installation folder>:\Program Files\Common Files\Alias; the SKEYUser.tbl file is delivered to <installation folder>:\Program Files\SmartPlant\Isometrics\I-Convert\Samples.

  • Bolting - Using the end condition, the software determines if a component is bolted or wafer. If wafer, it sets the keyword WAFER in the Bolting table. If the component is bolted, the software uses the bore, rating and facing information to find a matching bolt in the Bolt table and sets the bolting information accordingly. For more information, see Configure AutoPlant bolting options.
