Objective: Output a table on the isometric drawing that shows the number of components in the pipeline, grouped by pipe specification and nominal size:

Pipe Specification

NS

Item Count

CS150

6"

14

CS300

4"

13

  1. Use the Project Defaults > Attributes > New command in I-Configure to create three pipeline attributes: ATTRIBUTE90, ATTRIBUTE91 and ATTRIBUTE92. Give the attributes the following defaults:

    ATTRIBUTE90 = V1[SPEC]

    ATTRIBUTE91 = V1[SIZE]

    ATTRIBUTE92 = V1[ITEMCOUNT]

  2. Use the Drawing Setup Tool in ISOGEN Configuration to specify the location of the table on the drawing. You specify the location of the columns on the drawing by plotting pipeline attributes with fixed values on the drawing. The format of the text string to be plotted is shown below:

    View_Name[Column_Name]

    ATTRIBUTE90=V1[SPEC]
    ATTRIBUTE91=V1[SIZE]
    ATTRIBUTE92=V![ITEMCOUNT]

  3. Configure the Isogen Reporting configuration file. An example is shown below.

    • The <TABLE> element (1) defines a table with three columns (2): GROUP, SPEC, and SIZE. For each component in the POD file, the table displays the GROUP property (which filters the derived table), the PIPING-SPEC attribute, and the SIZE1 property (the first nominal size).

    • The GroupBy attribute (3) specifies that the derived table is grouped by SPEC and SIZE so that each unique pair of SPEC and SIZE become one row in the derived table.

    • The Fields attribute (4) specifies that the derived table contains three columns, SPEC and SIZE and ITEMCOUNT, a new column that contains the total count of the grouped items.

    • The View attribute specifies the name of the table view (5) and the design of the output table (6), including the number and format of rows and columns.

  4. Map the Isogen Reporting .xml configuration file in Isogen Configuration. For more information, see Set up Isogen Reporting output.

  5. Generate the drawing.

    The software outputs a table on the drawing showing that there are 14 components with the specification set to CS150 and a nominal size of 6-inches and 13 components with the specification set to CS300 and a nominal size of 4-inches.
