Defines the drawing area, which includes the drawing sheet and the areas of the drawing frame where Isogen plots the user-defined reports. The Drawing Areas page of the tool is divided into two sections.

  • Drawing Areas window displays a grid view of drawing and report layout properties. In the View window, a green box with grab handles identifies the drawing boundary. In the report area, a colored anchor indicates the start position of the report data.

  • View window displays the selected style's default backing sheet with the drawing area superimposed upon it.

In the View window, you can graphically customize the left, right, top, and bottom margins of the drawing and define the layout and appearance of the report data that is plotted on the isometric drawing. You can also type new values in the Drawing Areas window. See Define drawing margins and report layout.

Drawing Areas Window

Any of the categories and related properties listed below can appear on the Drawing Areas window, depending on the settings that have been defined on the Basic Setup page.

Categorized

Groups drawing properties in the Drawing Areas window by category. At a minimum, the panel displays the Drawing Area Margins category, which contains margin settings for the drawing area. Additional categories, such as Material List, Cut List, and Weld List, display only if the corresponding report option is selected on the Basic Setup page. These categories contain format and layout properties specific to the data that is plotted on a report. Another set of categories can also display on the window: Section One, Section Two, and Section Three. These categories, which contain properties that are specific to the different sections of the material list, are controlled by the Number of sections setting on the Basic Setup page. The example below illustrates the relationship between the reports options selected on the Basic Setup page (1) and the categories that appear on the Drawing Areas window (2).

Alphabetical

Groups drawing properties in the Drawing Areas window as a flat, alphabetical list.

Drawing Area Margins

Groups the properties that define the drawing margins. Margins are measured relative to the drawing sheet. See Define drawing margins and report layout.

Bottom

Sets the distance between the outer edge of the drawing sheet and the outer line of the drawing frame at the bottom of the drawing. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Left

Sets the distance between the outer edge of the drawing sheet and the outer line of the drawing frame on the left side of the drawing. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Right

Sets the distance between the outer edge of the drawing sheet and the outer line of the drawing frame on the right side of the drawing. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Top

Sets the distance between the outer edge of the drawing sheet and the outer line of the drawing frame at the top of the drawing. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Material List

Groups layout and format properties for material list report data on the isometric drawing. This collection of properties appears only if User Defined Material List is selected on the Basic Setup page.

Text Font

Specifies the font used to display material list report data. Select the required font in the Text Font list.

Text Height

Specifies the height of the text that appears in the material list report. This setting applies to all sections of the material list. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

X

Sets the bottom left X, or horizontal, position of the first line of the material list plotted on the isometric drawing. Type a value (integer).

Y

Sets the bottom left Y, or vertical, position of the first line of the material list plotted on the isometric drawing. Type a value (integer).

Weld List

Groups layout and format properties for weld list report data on the isometric drawing. This collection of properties is shown only if User Defined Weld List is selected on the Basic Setup page.

Text Font

Specifies the font used to display weld list report data. Select the required font in the Text Font list.

Text Height

Specifies the height of the text that appears in the weld list report. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

X

Sets the bottom left X, or horizontal, position of the first line of the weld list plotted on the isometric drawing. Type a value (integer).

Y

Sets the bottom left Y, or vertical, position of the first line of the weld list plotted on the isometric drawing. Type a value (integer).

Cut List

Groups layout and format properties for cut list report data on the isometric drawing. This collection of properties appears only if User Defined Cut List is selected on the Basic Setup page.

Text Font

Specifies the font used to display cut list report data. Select the required font in the list.

Text Height

Specifies the height of the text that appears in the cut list report. Type a value (real number) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

X

Sets the bottom left X, or horizontal, position of the first line of the cut list plotted on the isometric drawing. Type a value (integer).

Y

Sets the bottom left Y, or vertical, position of the first line of the weld list plotted on the isometric drawing. Type a value (integer).

Section One

Groups layout and format properties for the report data contained in Section 1 of the material list. This category appears only if User Defined Material List is selected on the Basic Setup page.

Content

Indicates the category of data plotted in Section 1 of the material list. Select Fabrication, Erection, Offshore, or Erection/Offshore. The default setting is Fabrication.

Section Two

Groups layout and format properties for the report data contained in Section 2 of the material list. This category appears only if Number of sections on the Basic Setup page is set to Two or Three.

Content

Indicates the category of data plotted in Section 1 of the material list. Select Fabrication, Erection, Offshore, or Erection/Offshore. The category that you select must not be the same as the Content setting for Section 1. The default setting is Erection.

Y

Sets the Y, or vertical, offset for Section 2 of the material list with reference to the X and Y positions of the material list. Type a value (integer) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

X

Specifies the X (or horizontal) offset for Section 2 of the material list with reference to the report origin defined by the X and Y settings under the Material List category. Type a value (integer) in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Section Three

Groups layout and format properties for the report data contained in Section 3 of the material list. This category appears only if Number of sections on the Basic Setup page is set to Three.

Content

Indicates the category of data plotted in Section 3 of the material list. Select Fabrication, Erection, Offshore, or Erection/Offshore. The category that you select must not be the same as the Content setting for Section 1 or Section 2. The default setting is Offshore.

Y
