Controls how minor dimensional deviations detected in the pipeline input data file are interpreted and acted upon. These deviations can cause unwanted skews to be generated on the isometric drawing. You can define a dimension cut-off value with this switch whereby any offset coordinate numerically below this value is ignored by the software, and hence will not generate a skew at this point.

Controls tolerance applied to connecting components.

Switch Settings

The following settings are available for Option Switch 116:

SWITCH POSITION 1-3 - Small Dimensional Deviations

0

Set no dimensional offset tolerance. This is the default setting.

Value

Set dimensional offset tolerance, where Value represents the user-defined cut-off value in the 1/100th millimeter. For example, for 1.0 mm cut-off, enter 100.

SWITCH POSITION 4-6 - IDFGEN Connection Tolerance

0

Set no connection tolerance. This is the default setting.

Value

Set connection tolerance, where Value represents the user-defined value in the 1/100th millimeter. For example, for 1.0 mm cut-off, enter 100.

If this control is set as a single value, that is, no tolerance is set in Position 4-6, IDFGEN continues to use Position 1-3 to determine the connection tolerance.
