You can create an isometric drawing border from scratch using the SmartSketch Drawing Editor. You use the commands available within the SmartSketch Drawing Editor to place graphics and create appropriate layers.

You should name new border files with the name of the needed isometric style, such as Iso_Pipeline or Iso_Piperun.

  1. Navigate to the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\PmfgIsoStyleData folder, and copy the appropriate existing border igr file to the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Templates folder. You can create a subfolder for the new file.

  2. Rename the copied file with the .sha extension.

  3. Open the copied .sha files with the SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

  4. Fit the view.

  5. Select Tools > Layers to display the Layers ribbon.

  6. Select Tools > Display Manager. On the Layers tab, scroll down to see the values currently set in the .sha file. These are the color, line type, and width values for the named layers.

  7. Make changes as needed, save the file, and exit SmartSketch Drawing Editor. The next time you use this .sha file as your drawing border template, the graphics will show the changes you made.
