Component End Conditions Defined By P-Points

The symbols used to represent piping components on isometrics, as defined by the SKEYs described in the section Symbol Keys, can be drawn with different end conditions (that means, with different connection types). The connection types which may be represented are:

Component end conditions

By default, each SKEY has one standard end condition which applies to all its connection points. A different end condition can be set for individual connection points for the following types of components:

P-point elements of type PTAXI, PTCAR and PTMIX have a PSKEY (P-point Symbol Key) attribute which is, by default, set to NULL, so that Isodraft uses the standard end connections defined for that SKEY.

The end condition for a connection point may be changed in Paragon by setting the PSKEY of the corresponding p-point to one of connection end conditions shown above. To revert to the default end condition representations for a component, reset its PSKEY attributes to NULL.
