Alternative Text - Isogen - Reference

Where applicable, each AText description includes its respective default value. If a default value is not specified, the AText is normally left blank.

For each AText, three options are available:

• <Default> uses the default AText value.

• <Suppress> suppresses the AText value.

• <Edit value> modifies the AText value with the user-specified entry.

Specifies the sub-heading under which all equipment trim materials are listed. The default value is EQUIPMENT TRIM MATERIALS.

Nozzle Ref Sub-Heading

Specifies the sub-heading under which all materials associated with an individual nozzle are listed. The content of the related NOZZLE-REFERENCE is appended to the AText to form a complete text string. Used on equipment trim drawings only. The default value is NOZZLE REF.

Continued Text

Identifies situations where the listing of components for a nozzle is being continued from a previous drawing. Used with AText -342 (Nozzle Ref Sub-Heading) on equipment trim drawings only. The default value is CONTINUED.

Hygienic Connector Sub-Heading

Specifies the group sub-heading under which all materials for end connections for hygienic type piping are listed (liners, nuts, clamps, and so on). The default value is END CONNECTORS.

And Text

Used with AText -342 (Nozzle Ref Sub-Heading) to form a sub-heading under which all components associated with interconnected nozzles are output on the material list for an equipment trim drawing. The format of the resulting nozzle heading is NOZZLE REF - N22 and N23.

Alternate Bottom Overflow Label

Denotes an alternative to the AText used when generating a material list overflow message at the bottom of the master drawing material list. This is a combination of AText -209 (Pipeline Connection) and AText -255 (Drawing Label).

For more information, see Alternative Texts in Drawing Area.Content and Alternative Texts in Drawing Area.Text, respectively.

Alternate Top Overflow Label

Functions as an alternative to the AText used when generating a material list overflow message at the top of overflow material list drawing. This is a combination of AText -276 (Continued From) and AText -255 (Drawing Label).

For more information, see Alternative Texts in Drawing Area.Content and Alternative Texts in Drawing Area.Text, respectively.

End One Heading

Denotes the column heading on the cut pipe list. Also appears in the isometric drawing area section when it is necessary to identify a specific end of a cut piece. The default value is END$ONE.

End Two Heading

Denotes the column heading on the cut pipe list. The default value is END$TWO.

Item Code Heading

Denotes the last heading on the cut pipe list when item code heading is required. See also AText -365 (Alternate Last Heading). The default value is ITEM$CODE.

Alternate Last Heading

Denotes the alternative last column heading on the cut pipe list. See also AText -364 (Item Code Heading). If the part number is required on the cut list instead of the item code, set AText -364 to blank and AText -365 to the required alternative heading, such as part number.

Square Cut Label

Denotes square cut in the End Condition columns on the cut pipe list. The default value is SQ.CUT.

Bevel Label

Denotes bevel in the End Condition columns on the cut pipe list. The default value is BEVEL.

Screwed Label

Denotes screwed in the End Condition columns on the cut pipe list. The default value is SCREWED.

Shaped Label

Denotes shaped in the End Condition columns on the cut pipe list. The default value is SHAPED.

Mitred Label

Denotes mitred in the End Condition columns on the cut pipe list. The default value is MITRED.

Angle Label

Used on special type pulled bends where angle information is appended to the item description field on the material list. The default value is ANGLE.

Fab Label

Identifies Fabrication material when Category is used as a data item on a variable or user-defined material list. The default value is FAB.

Erect Label

Identifies Erection material when Category is used as a data item on a variable or user-defined material list. The default value is EREC.

Offshore Label

Identifies Offshore material when Category is used as a data item on a variable or user-defined material list. The default value is OFF.

Multiple Values Label

Indicates that multiple component attributes are present for a particular material entry. The default value is MULTIPLE.

Additional Material indicator

Used on the cut list in conjunction with additional length added to the cut piece. The default value is ADD MATERIAL.

Grooved Identifier

Indicates a grooved end preparation for Victaulic pipe connections on the cut pipe list/report. The default value is GROOVED.

Flared Identifier

Indicates a flared end preparation on the cut pipe list/report. The default value is FLARED.

Screwed Female Identifier

Indicates a female screwed end preparation on the cut pipe list/report. The default value is SCREWED.

Socket Female Identifier

Indicates a female socket weld/compression/glued/push fit end preparation on the cut pipe list/report. The default value is SOCKET.

Alternate Units Label

Offers an alternative units indication on any length output on any style of material list.

Alternate Bolt Units Label

Offers an alternative form of bolt diameter/length output on any style of material list.

• If you use ? values in the AText definition, the first ? represents the bolt diameter, and the second ? represents the bolt length. For example, the AText definition ?" x ?mm outputs 2" x 190mm on the final isometric drawing.

• If you use no ? values in the AText definition, then Isogen appends the entire string to the bolt size.

Bolt Diameter Heading

Offers an optional column heading for bolt diameter where the bolt units are different to the normal pipeline units.

Scalar Quantities Suffix

Outputs text to supplement scalar quantities that appear in the material list on the drawing and material control file.

Spool Sub-Heading

Identifies materials belonging to spools on the material list. The default value is SPOOL.
