In Isogen, the isometric drawing style controls all the options related to the drawing and report appearance and information content produced during isometric drawing generation. Each isometric drawing style contains a group of object properties that control some aspect of the drawings and reports that are produced by 2D piping solutions and 3D plant design software products. These properties are stored in a style file. During isometric drawing generation, the contents of the style file are converted into the set of text control files that are read by Isogen. As such, the way that you configure a style determines what the isometric drawing looks like when the drawing is generated, as well as what information is included in a report. Multiple drawing styles can exist side by side to produce different outputs from the same design file.

provides a single, streamlined interface for setting isometric drawing style properties. The environment provides easy access to Isogen's substantial array of controls and files and enables you to configure projects quickly and efficiently. Any modifications that you make can then be saved to the drawing style file for future use.

also includes convenient wizards that enable you to quickly configure the drawing template and detail sketches.

  • Drawing Setup Tool includes a limited set of drawing options that can assist you in configuring the drawing template. The drawing template is usually a company standard backing sheet on which Isogen plots the drawing and related data, such as the material take-off, welding report, and project-related data. The Drawing Setup Tool has a graphical interface, overlaying the location of key items onto the backing sheet.

  • Detail Sketch Manager helps you configure detail sketches for isometric drawing output. The Detail Sketch Manager allows you to place parameters on the selected detail sketch so that the correct relevant values, such as weld numbers, part numbers, and angles, are plotted on the isometric drawing.

You can access Isogen Configuration only from within I-Configure. For detailed information about using Isogen Configuration to define isometric drawing and report output, see the Isogen Configuration User's Guide. You can access this document using the Help > Printable Guides command in Isogen Configuration.
