COMMAND

Brief description

ANGLEACCURACY

Allows the user to specify the degree of accuracy for the reporting of angles.

ATTANAME

Specifies the ways in which support ATTAs are identified.

AXES

Specifies the coordinate system to be used for showing 3D positions on drawings.

BENDRADIUS

Specifies when radii of pulled bends will be shown and in what units.

BORES

Allows the user to specify the units for input of pipe nominal bores.

CHARHEIGHT

Specifies the character size to be used for annotating text on drawings.

CODECP

Allows the user to specify the precision to which Imperial decimal coordinates are expressed.

COFORMAT

Allows the user to specify the format of the coordinates output on isometrics.

COIMPP

Allows the user to specify the precision to which Imperial fractional coordinates are expressed.

CONTINUATIONSYMBOLS

Plots continuation symbols where pipes are connected to nozzles on Plant equipment.

CONTNOTES

Specifies continuation notes at the end points on drawings for when the connection goes to another isometric.

CONTSHEETS

Allows the user to specify that the sheet number of the continuation sheets should be shown.

CONTWELDS

Allows the user to plot welds on the current isometric that belong to another drawing.

COORDINATES

Specifies the drawing locations at which spatial coordinates are shown.

COUNITS

Allows the user to specify in which units the coordinates are to be expressed.

DIMALL

Dimension to all component connection points.

DIMDIST

Specifies the ‘standout’ distance, between dimensioning lines and pipe/ component centrelines.

DIMENSIONS

Specifies dimensioning style.

ELEVATION

Specifies whether or not elevation coordinates are to be shown.

FALLINGLINES

Defines the maximum rate of fall allowed in a pipeline before it is shown as a skew.

FALLSKEWS

Controls how dimensioning boxes for skewed or falling pipelines are shown.

FIELDSCREWED

Defines what symbol is to be used for a FIELD screwed connection.

FIELDSOCKETWELD

Defines what symbol is to be used for a FIELD socket weld.

FLOWARROWS

Allows flow arrows to be shown on isometric plots.

INSULATIONCONTROL

Specifies whether or not insulation is to be plotted.

LEGLENGTH

Allows the user to specify the plotted leg length of elbows, tees, and crosses.

LINETHICKNESS

Allows the user to control (optionally) the thickness of line used to represent piping.

MESSAGEACCURACY

Controls how arrowed messages on the isometric are positioned.

OUTCOM

Defines the style in which attributes are shown on the isometric drawing area.

OVERALLSKEWS

Allows the user to specify whether triangular skewboxes are shown as overall skewboxes across branches or as separate skewboxes between branch connections.

PICTURESCALE

Allows the user to set the scale of the isometric drawing.

PRECISION

Sets bore dimensions to be nominal or actual.

REFDIMENSIONS

Switches the display of reference dimensions on and off.

REPEATABILITY

Creates split ATTAs at automatically generated split points.

SKEWBOX

Controls how skewed piping is shown.

SPECBREAK

Specifies the level at which a change of pipeline specification is noted, and which changes are shown.

SPLIT

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

SUPPORTS

Defines whether support positions are shown and are dimensioned as overall or string dimensions.

TAGGING

Allows the user to identify individual components on the isometric plot by means of name tags.

TAPPING

Sets the scale of the tapping leg and switches the tapping leg dimensions and coordinates on and off.

TOLERANCE

Specifies the maximum misalignment between components regarded as having the same axis.

TRACINGCONTROL

Specifies whether or not tracing is to be plotted.

TRUNCATE

Stops rounding remainders of dimensions being added to the next dimension.

TUBESPLITS

Controls how splits in tube are placed.

UNITS

Specifies units of measurement to be used for Isodraft's output.

WELDANGLES

Allows configuration in which one pipe is welded to another pipe or component such that the flow directions of the two objects are non-parallel.

WELDID

Allows the user to identify individual welds on the isometric by name.

WELDNUMBERS

Controls numbering the welds on an isometric.

WELDTYPE

Controls which types of end connection are shown on drawings.

ZEROLENGTH-SKEWS

Allows the user to connect a vertical Branch to a falling line.
