Isogen can be configured to display the coordinates of nominated points in the pipeline relative to a reference plane, rather than as absolute values. The nominated points are indicated by the presence of LOCATION-POINT entries in the PCF. The reference plane can be a set of steel columns and floor levels in a process plant, or it can be a set of decks and bulkheads in a ship.

The reference planes are defined in a file and properties of this object are used to control how Isogen behaves when plotting the location points. A location point table can be defined and plotted on the isometric drawing. Optionally, location points can be shown with coordinates.

Six Alternate Text numbers have been assigned to output relative directions.

  • -443 ^ + ? (used for positive relative position in e/w plane).

  • -444 ^ - ? (used for negative relative position in e/w plane).

  • -445 ^ + ? (used for positive relative position in n/s plane).

  • -446 ^ - ? (used for negative relative position in n/s plane).

  • -447 ^ + ? (used for positive relative position in u/d plane).

  • -448 ^ - ? (used for negative relative position in u/d plane).

  • ^ is substituted with the reference plane name.

  • ? is substituted with the distance from the reference plane.

An AText record has been assigned to be output as a delimiter text between the relative direction and its relative position.

-449 = (default setting)

Setting AText –449 to blank only outputs the relative position.
