Isometric Drawing : Summary of Commands

The following commands were described in this chapter:


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.
CHARSIZE	Specifies the character size to be used for annotating text on drawings.
CLLENGTHFILE	Specifies that a pipe centreline length summary, with or without an insulation centreline summary, should be output.
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.
COORDINATES	Specifies the drawing locations at which spatial coordinates are shown.
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/falling pipelines are shown.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ZEROLENGTHSKEWS	Allows the user to connect a vertical Branch to a falling line.
