Identifies the method used when splitting two pipelines into multiple isometric drawings. Two methods are available:

  • Automatic: This method automatically calculates the number of pipeline graphics that can be displayed on the selected drawing size, and then generates the exact number of isometric drawings that are required to contain the completed pipeline.

  • Fixed: This method requires that you specify the number of isometric drawings that are necessary to display the completed pipeline.

  • The setting in Position 1 is ignored if manual pipeline split points are present in the piping data file (PDF).

  • Since any option switch setting applies to all the pipelines in a run, it is recommended that you only use the fixed method in special cases for single pipeline runs.

  • An added option permits any drawing split points input in the 3D model by the user and present in the PDF to be ignored.
