The four main areas on the isometric drawing all contain, by default, standard text generated by Isodraft. The areas are:
-
The isometric drawing area itself;
-
The title block in the lower right-hand corner;
-
The material list;
-
The line summary across the bottom.

Example: |
|
The FABRICATION MATERIALS heading on the material list. |
|
The CONN. TO and CONT. ON messages in the drawing area |
|
The BATCH REF and PIPING SPEC labels in the title block area. |
Each text item is identified by a unique code number, known as its ATEXT (Alternative Text) number. The ATEXT command allows the user to change the text characters associated with a particular ATEXT number, so that the specified text replaces the standard wording at the corresponding location on the drawing. The user can also suppress the text by setting the ATEXT to null.
