Clear this option to create a PCF for each line number. The default option for ISOGENOUT is ON. Click the Toggle Single PCF option to turn it off.

  • You can resubmit Isogen drawings after you make changes to your CADWorx drawing. The software displays the drawings in their previous isometric layout with the added components. You must define the Repeatability return report in I-Configure for resubmitted drawings to display. To set the Isogen repeatability feature, see Enable the Repeatability return report.

    • If you delete an Isogen start or stop point, the software permanently removes the points. This can affect the repeatability output.

  • Use ISOGENRESET to remove the sheet and part numbers, and all Start/Stop signs from component iso information.

  • Isogen drawings can be created for curved piping by using Isogen Out on an Adjustable Bend. Before you run Isogen Out , make sure to set the SKEY in the Isogen Data Dialog Box to PB** (** designates a valid Isogen end type). Select the Overwrite check box to enter the new SKEY. To setup curved piping in isometrics, see Enable curved piping in Plant isometrics.

ISOGENOUT also exports line number continuation information to Isogen. Set the IsogenContinuationGraphicsCount to include continuation graphics of additional line numbers in your drawing.
