Line View Palette – Line Isolate
 Isolate each line number for continuity

4. © Intergraph 2015
User Shapes
 All components need to be CADWorx Plant components.
 CADWorx Spec Editor is very robust, but if you need something a bit
more detailed you can create a User Shape

5. © Intergraph 2015
Start Signs
 Start Signs help ISOGEN create drawings that follow the flow of the
line.

6. © Intergraph 2015
Ancillary Data - Instruments
 Adding a Tag and using the following SKEY will draw a component
as an instrument on the iso.

7. © Intergraph 2015
Ancillary Data – Flow Arrows
 Use the IsogenSupl command to insert Flow Arrows

8. © Intergraph 2015
Ancillary Data - Notes
 You can use either the Tag or the Message Text to leave notes in
the model.
 Note the $ to provide a carriage return in ISOGEN

Discontinuity View
 The Discontinuity View allows you to see several types of
disconnects that could cause issues with ISOGEN and CAESAR II
 There are three types; Disconnected, Not On Line, and Overlaps

Bill Of Materials
 You should check the long descriptions before running isos. A quick
way to do this is using BOMTOTAL in the model.

11. © Intergraph 2015
Line View Palette - Find
 Lets use the Line View Palette Find tab to find those erroneous long
descriptions.

12. © Intergraph 2015
IsogenBatch
 Running IsogenBatch allows us to check multiple lines numbers in
our model at one time by providing a report of which lines were
successful or failed.

13. © Intergraph 2015
Stop Signs
 For consistent isos, it is important to place stop signs in the model.
Even if we are simply matching the split points ISOGEN used.

14. © Intergraph 2015
More Ancillary Data – Support Data
 You can add a Direction, custom SKEY, Message and even a
Detailed Sketch to your supports

15. © Intergraph 2015
More Ancillary Data – Penetrations
 Just like flow arrows the IsogenSupl command includes wall and
grade penetrations.

16. © Intergraph 2015
More Ancillary Data – Reference
Dimensions
 Reference Dimensions can be added to the model so they come out
in the iso.

17. © Intergraph 2015
IsogenOut for Testing
 Typically IsogenOut is used for testing purposes only. If you have an
iso that is having difficulties running, you can use IsogenOut on
several components at a time to determine if those components are
the problem components
 IsogenBatch is used for production ready isos. These isos will
include all connecting equipment and other line numbers.

Wrap Up
 No Touch Isos are possible, but they require intelligent models.
 Accurate models = Consistent and informative isos.
 Don’t forget to fill out your eval forms
