SPLIT

Function:

Controls the number of drawing sheets used when a pipeline is split over more than one sheet.

Description:

If a pipeline is too long or complex to fit on a single isometric plot, Isodraft will automatically split the pipeline over separate drawings. Each drawing will be identified as DRG 1 OF ..., DRG 2 OF ..., etc. The user can control the relative complexity of each drawing, or the number of drawings into which the isometric is to be split, by using the SPLIT command.

The user can control splitting either by giving a split factor, or by specifying the number of drawings used for the isometric.

The default value of the split factor is 100.

Note: This value does not relate directly to either the number of fittings or the amount of text on a sheet. It is a measure of the complexity of the drawing, relative to its size, on an arbitrary scale.

Greater sheet complexity is specified by giving a split factor greater than 100, and lower complexity by giving a split factor less than 100.

The user can control exactly where pipes are split by using Split ATTAs in the design. If user-defined positions for splits have been created in the design, Isodraft will always use these and not calculate its own split points.

Split points in tube can be controlled by the TUBESPLITS command.

Examples:

SPLIt 3 DRwgs

Splits the isometric into 3 drawings.

SPLIt 75 PERCent

Splits the isometric so that the complexity of each drawing is 75% of the default.

Restrictions:

Only single pipelines can be split into a fixed number of drawings.
