CONTSHEETS

ISODRAFT Reference Manual

Command Reference Section : Alphabetical Command Reference : CONTSHEETS

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

When an isometric continues onto another sheet the CONSHEETS commands specifies that the sheet number of the continuation sheet be shown at the sheet break.

Continuation sheets numbers between sheets are switched on.

Continuation sheets numbers between sheets are suppressed.

An extra clause, ContUdefText (continuation user-defined text), is available to the CONTSHEETS command to specify that further pipeline attribute or user-defined attribute (UDA) information may be shown as part of the continuation sheet information displayed at sheet breaks. The format of the constructed text string is controlled by the User and may contain arbitrary text and carriage returns:

CONTSHEETS ON ContUdefText 'LATTR1' 'arbtext1''LATTR2''arbtext2'''

where LATTR1 and LATTR2 are valid Pipeline attributes and arbtext1 and arbtext2 are two arbitrary text strings. The sheet number of the continuation sheet is automatically appended to the user-specified string. Therefore, the example specified above would output the string XXXXarbtext1YYYYarbtext2n for continuation sheet n where XXXX is the value of LATTR1 and YYYY is the value of LATTR2.

This may be accomplished automatically by a new text box on the Annotation Options window. In the text box the User is able to add something like:-

LATRR1'/'LATTR2'-'

where LATRR1 and LATTR2 are valid Pipeline attributes

•

This will generate XXXX/YYYY-n for sheet n where XXXX is the value of LATTR1 and YYYY is the value of LATTR2.

A more concrete example of the use of the CONTNOTES, ContUdefText option (combined with the COORDINATES option) is as follows. The specified options:

Coords ON AT Sheet

ContSheets ON ContUdefText '''Name=''NAME'' Type=''TYPE''&/Lock=''LOCK'' Owner=''OWNER'' PSPE=''PSPE'' pg'''

will display at the sheet break of an isometric:

E 12250
N 13500
EL +2735
Name =100-C-10 Type=PIPE
Lock= Owner=PIPES PSPE=A3B pg3

The COORDINATES option specifies the output of the first three lines. The user-defined text occupies the last two lines because a carriage return '&/' is specified. The value of the 'Lock' attribute is not output because, in this case, it is invalid. The continuation sheet page 3 specified indicates that this text would be expected to be located on sheet 2 of an isometric at the sheet break continuing onto sheet 3.

Note:

The CONTSHEETS command must not be confused with the CONTNOTES command which specifies continuation notes at the end points on drawings when the connection goes to another isometric.

Note:

A valid non-null string specified by the ContUdefText option will always be output at sheets breaks, irrespective of whether the CONTSHEETS option, specifying whether the continuation sheet number is displayed or not, is set to ON or OFF.
