SWITCH POSITION 2 - Weld Box / Operations Box Generation
0 |
Set no weld / operations box. Nothing is plotted or printed. This is the default option. |
1 |

2 |
Plot or print operations box summary. |
SWITCH POSITION 3 - Weld Number Sequence Control
0 |
Continue the weld number sequence on each new drawing. This is the default. |
1 |
Begin weld numbers at start of each new drawing. |
2 |
Match spool isometric weld numbers to full isometric weld numbers when using continuous weld numbers across drawings. |
3 |
Match spool isometric weld numbers to full isometric weld numbers when using the weld number sequence commencing on each drawing. |
4 |
Suppress the generation of weld numbers. |
SWITCH POSITION 4 - Offshore Weld Number Control
0 |
Generate offshore weld numbers. This is the default. |
1 |
Number offshore welds only. |
2 |
Do not number offshore welds. This switch position should be set to value 2 when Position 1 is set to value 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9. |
SWITCH POSITION 5 - Individual Weld Numbering Sequences
0 |
Use a single sequence for all welds. |
1 |
Use an individual sequence for each weld category. |
SWITCH POSITION 6 - Support Weld Sequences
0 |
Use the same sequence as that used for standard welds. |
1 |
Use a single sequence for all support welds. |
2 |
Use an individual sequence for each support weld category. |
SWITCH POSITION 7 - Support Weld Numbering Sequences
0 |
Continue the support weld sequence on each new drawing. |
1 |
Start support weld numbers at 1 on each new drawing. |
SWITCH POSITION 8 - Alphabetic Weld Identifiers Generated
0 |
Use numeric weld identifiers. |
1 |
Use alphabetic weld identifiers. |
SWITCH POSITION 9 - Number of Characters in the Weld Identifier
0 |
Exclude leading characters before output of weld identifier. |
Value |
