KEYS

ISODRAFT Reference Manual

Command Reference Section : Alphabetical Command Reference : KEYS

Allows components with specified SKEYS to be treated like instruments.

Component types that can be tagged, that is types that can have their names plotted automatically on the isometric drawing, can be treated like instruments. This means that:

•

If INSTRUMENT SPREF is set, the SPREF will be used as the itemcode.

•

If INSTRUMENT NAME is set, the itemcode column will be left blank and the name will be appended to the description.

•

If INSTRUMENT NAME WITH BALLOONS is set, the name will be output in a balloon on the isometric.

The types that can be tagged are:

INST VALV FILTER PCOM
TRAP VENT TWA VFWA

To treat a component type as an instrument, give each specific component type a key number, and then relate the key number to the symbol key (SKEY) by the KEYS command.

Refer to TAG command for more information about tagging.

KEYS 1 ’VVFL’

Any valve with the symbol key VVFL, and which has a name, will have its name appended to its description and the itemcode column left blank. If a valve with the symbol key VVFL is not named, its SPREF will be output as its itemcode in the normal way.

Remove the component from the key number list by quoting its number only.
