Types of Isometrics

You can include the following types of isometric 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.

You can also 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 you can begin creating drawings quickly.

Normally Isodraft will be set up to use macros, to produce the isometrics for each project. See the Software customization Guide for information about using macros in PDMS.
