Example of Detailing Using ISODRAFT Commands
Assume that a Project DB includes the MDB /TESTSITE which, in turn, has access to a DESIGN database named PIPING/AREA-A and a correctly set up Catalogue DB. This has a structure as shown in Figure 2:1.: Example database hierarchy.
The following sequence of commands could be used to create isometric drawings, in the default format, of the two pipes /PIPE-Y and /PIPE-Z. The example assumes that data consistency checking in the DESIGN database finds no faults.
/TESTSITE
Specify MDB
DESIGN  
Enter MODEL, which has data consistency checking facilities
CHECK /PIPE-Y /PIPE-Z
Check data consistency of pipes
Figure 2:1.

A data consistency report is generated: a report of no errors is assumed

FILE /ISOFILE SINGLE
Specify ISODRAFT output device
The two pipe drawings to be created will be sent to separate plot files, identified as /ISOFILE001 and /ISOFILE002
MESSAGEFILENAME /ISOMESS
Specify filename for messages
QUERY OPTIONS
Check the current settings of all ISODRAFT plotting options
ADD /ZONE-1
REMOVE /PIPE-X
