Types of Isometrics

The following types of isometric can be included in an Isodraft drawing:

• Combined erection and fabrication isometric (standard)

• Fabrication-only isometric (for shop floor use)

• Erection-only isometric (for field use)

• Spool drawing isometric

Each isometric type has its own forms of dimensioning annotation and material list.

Users can control:

• Complexity (drawing level density) of the isometric

• View direction

• Layout and units of dimensions

• Annotation of the components shown on the isometric (type, part number, specification)

• Welding information

• Insulation and tracing information

• Material list position (either on the drawing sheet or separately)

• Material list format

• Symbols used to represent different types of piping components

• Drawing sheet size

• Drawing sheet annotation (title block text, company logo)

• Scaling of the isometric within the sheet (window size)

• Text size

All these drawing options have default settings so that the user can begin creating drawings quickly.

Normally Isodraft will be set up to use macros, to produce the isometrics for each project. Refer to Macros for information about using macros in AVEVA E3D Design.
