Weld List Page - Isogen - Help

Defines the layout and appearance of the report data in the weld list that Isogen plots on the isometric drawing. The Drawing Setup Tool displays this page only when User Defined Weld List is selected on the Basic Setup page. The Weld List page is divided into two sections.

• Weld List window displays properties that control the report set up and report contents in a tree view format. These properties can be customized to meet your specific isometric drawing requirements. For more information, see Customize report settings.

• View window displays a copy of the selected style's default backing sheet with the location of the report data superimposed upon it.

Weld List Window

Many of the properties listed below can also be defined or modified on the Basic Setup page of the tool.

Categorized

Groups weld list properties in the Weld List window by category.

Alphabetical

Groups weld list properties in the Weld List window as a flat, alphabetical list.

Weld List

Groups layout and format properties for weld list report data, including the report origin and the text size and font.

• List Down controls the direction in which the weld list is printed with reference to the X and Y settings under the Weld List category. If you select Down, Isogen plots the weld list from top to bottom. If you select Up, the weld list is plotted from bottom going up.

• Maximum Entries sets the maximum number of entries in the weld list before an overflow sheet is generated. Type the required value (positive integer).

• X sets the bottom left X, or horizontal, position of the first line of the weld list that is plotted on the isometric drawing. Type a value (integer).

• Y sets the bottom left Y, or vertical, position of the first line of the weld list that is plotted on the isometric drawing. Type a value (integer).

• Text Font specifies the font used to display weld list report data. Select the required font in the Text Font list.

• Text Height specifies the height of the text that appears in the weld list report. This setting applies to all sections of the weld list. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

• Vertical Spacing specifies the vertical spacing between the lines of data. The vertical spacing applies to all sections in the weld list. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page..

Column Settings

Controls which component attributes are plotted in the weld list report, along with basic layout properties. In the example below, the plotted weld list is set up to contain four columns of attribute data. The fourth component attribute (WELD-LOCATION) is to be plotted with a 43mm offset from the origin (X).

• Name specifies the name of the component attribute being defined in the report. Select the required attribute in the list.

• Offset specifies the offset from the X setting (or report origin) defined under the Weld List category. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page. The value that you specify directly impacts the column X setting. For example, if the horizontal position of the origin for the first line of report data is set to 245, and you set a 15mm offset from that origin under Column 2, the horizontal start position (or X setting) for that component attribute data is 265.

• Maximum Characters sets the number of entries that the column can accommodate. The value that you type must be zero or greater.

• X specifies the horizontal start position for the column data with reference to the X setting of the weld list origin. The value that you specify causes the Offset setting to update automatically. Type a value (integer) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

• You can also define Offset and X, Y settings graphically using the mouse. For more information, see Define X,Y, and Offset Settings Graphically in Customize report settings.

• Use Add Column and Delete Column to control which component attributes are plotted on the weld list report. For more information, see Add and Remove Report Columns in Customize report settings.
