Just a question everyone, how is your Isogen Enviroment Setup?

What do you mean?

Are you asking what switches we play with?

Do we use a custom border etc?

Is that what you are l :shock: king for?

yup, I know that you would probaly use Custom Borders to meet Client requirements.

We just use the out of the box border from ISOGEN. The only thing we have inserted into the border is the project, drawing and revision numbers.

We have cover sheet drawings to cover the title block info and General notes.

We can define the style of Material List, Position, Information(Like only output PT.NO, Description, QTY, etc.).
We can define the Dimension style also.
Especially, we can define the output linenumber(Not the Linenumber in Piping 3D). For example, in Piping 3D, the Linenumber is L1000, and it's Service is Water. then we can define the output linenumber is Water-L1000.

The ISOGEN is a powerful tool, it has a lot of functions to us to dig!

We've got our Isogen environment heavily customized.... Borders, dimensions, text, etc. is all custom.
Works well.

We customize alot of isogen too. If i could find someone to teach me more about the symbol editor, then i would be creating custom symbols too.

Where do I start to look so that I can tweak the standard border/title box within ISOGEN?

Thank you for the file..I looked up the switch for revision block and it is switch 33..I went to the editor and searched for 33 and it says "option switch 33 is not supported".. not sure what this means?

it is possible this switch has no equivalent component field with AutoPlant.

This Option Switch is used by some 3D Design Systems to control the
updating of their 'Pipe Detailed' and / or 'Pipe Revision' database attribute
fields on the successful production of a pipeline isometric by ISOGEN.
[Note. This Option Switch has no effect on any output generated by the
ISOGEN system.

I couldn't find that path, could it be because I'm using a Mac? Or don't have Isogen?
