Isometric drawings commonly have annotations to denote the direction of fluid flow through pipe and pipe components. Isogen Configuration enables you to define when and where flow arrows are placed on isometric drawings.

The properties for flow arrow placement are in Drawing Area.Content.Flow Arrows. The Show on Pipe property toggles all flow arrows on and off. If Show Flow Arrows is set to True, you can also specify arrow placement. You can set Show on Components so that component flow arrows appear beside components such as valves. When you configure your isometric styles, you can set Show on Components to match your project specifications. Thereafter, you can control all flow arrows on the isometric drawing by toggling Show on Pipe on or off.

You cannot set flow arrow options for cable tray or HVAC isometric drawings. This functionality is only applicable to piping isometric drawings.

  1. On the Home screen, select Content in the Drawing Area category tile. Alternatively, use the Navigation bar to navigate to the category and style group.

    The software switches to the Configuration view and displays the contents of the Content panel.

  2. Expand Flow Arrows.

  3. Set Show on Components as needed.

    Set the property to True if you want component flow arrows to appear for this style. Set the property to False if you do not want component flow arrows to appear for this style.

  4. Set Show on Pipe to True or False. This property is a master switch that toggles all flow arrows on or off.

  5. Click to update the isometric style file with the new property settings.

  6. Use the Drawing Preview panel to review your changes.
