Permits the unique identification of each pipe spool on the isometric drawing. An additional control allows various box enclosures for the spool identifier. There are several different formats available, as listed below.
The presence of a record in a pipeline .dat file to denote a user-defined spool identifier
causes the value in Position 1 and Position 2 of this option switch to be ignored.
This option switch also controls whether unions should be a spool split point.
Switch Settings
The following settings are available for Option Switch 39:
SWITCH POSITION 1 - Basic Control
|
0 |
Switch spool identifiers on, using a numeric system. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Suppress the output of spool identifiers. |
|
2 |
Switch spool identifiers on, using an alphabetic system. |
SWITCH POSITION 2 - Spool Identifier Sequence
|
0 |
Continue the current spool identifier sequence onto each new drawing. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Re-commence spool identifiers at 1 on each new drawing. |
SWITCH POSITION 3 - Box Enclosure Style
|
0 |
Enclose spool identifiers within the standard square brackets or a double box enclosure. Square brackets are used when the spool identifier is generated by Isogen. A double box enclosure is used when the spool identifier is user-specified. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Enclose spool identifiers in a diamond-ended box. |
|
2 |
Enclose spool identifiers in a round-ended box. |
|
3 |
Enclose spool identifiers in a triangle-shaped box. |
|
4 |
Enclose spool identifiers in a diamond-shaped box. |
|
5 |
Enclose spool identifiers in a square-shaped box. |
|
6 |
Enclose spool identifiers in a circle. |
|
7 |
Use no enclosure. |
|
9 |
Use an elliptical spool number enclosure. |
Because the type of enclosure that is output for settings 3 and 4 cannot be elongated, there is a limit to the number of
characters that can be accommodated by each.
SWITCH POSITION 4 - Spool Drawing Identifier (User)
|
0 |
Prefix the pipeline reference to the spool identifier. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Output the pipeline reference as the spool drawing identifier. Use the user spool identifier in any user-defined spool identifiers found in the input pipeline data file. |
SWITCH POSITION 5 - Spool Drawing Identifier (Automatic)
|
0 |
Use the spool drawing identifier as the spool ID. |
|
1 |
Output the spool drawing identifier as the pipeline reference. Use automatic spool ID if no user-defined spool IDs are found in the input pipeline data file. |
|
2 |
Generate the spool identifier from the pipeline file name (automatic spool ID). |
SWITCH POSITION 6 - Spool Identifiers (Fabrication)
|
0 |
Suppress allocation of spool identifiers for lone fabrication components. |
|
1 |
Allocate spool identifiers for lone fabrication components. |
|
2 |
Use user-controlled pipe spools only. No automatically generated spools. |
SWITCH POSITION 7 - Spool Break Points at Union
|
0 |
Allow a fabrication union connecting fabrication components to create spools. |
|
1 |
Suppress creating separate spools from a fabrication union connecting fabrication components. |
SWITCH POSITION 8 - Single/Double Line Circular Spool Number Enclosures
|
0 |
Use single line spool number enclosure. |
|
1 |
Use double line spool number enclosure. Use with circular enclosure to get double circles. |
SWITCH POSITION 9 - Circular and Elliptical Spool Number Enclosure Size
|
0 |
Use a fixed two-character circular or elliptical enclosure. |
|
1 to 8 |
Limit the size of spool number circular or elliptical enclosures to the specified size. |
|
9 |
Allow spool number circular or elliptical enclosures to be variable in size. |
