Creating Isodraft Symbol Templates

The Isodraft Symbol Templates allow Isodraft users to produce user-defined symbols using the Draft interface. The symbol definition is made up of two components - straights and markers.

Straights can be solid for normal lines, dashed for insulation lines and chained for tracing lines.

Markers can be defined for symbol arrive and leave points, tee points and spindle points.

Create each ISOTM as follows:

1. Select Create > Isodraft Symbol Template and give the symbol a name.

   The Symbol Template form will be displayed.

2. Define the symbol geometry using the pending on the detailed design required, create one or more components of the ISOTM in turn from the Draw, Construct, and Edit options, which are used in the same way as in the 2D Drafting Application.

   You can add annotation to an Isodraft Symbol Template in the same way as for Symbol Templates.

3. Export the Isodraft Symbol by selecting Utilities > Export Isodraft Symbol.
