Orthogonal Piping Batch Parameters

This section describes the parameters of the Isometric Piping Assembly batch.

This page discusses:

Configuration Parameters

Parameters Description Default Value

ConfigurationName

 Name of the drawing profile that the user chooses.

MDD-Standard-Ortho-MM

ISOSheetTemplate

 Name of the sheet template from the sheet template chapter.

ASD A3-Sheet-For-ORTHO-Pipe-Batch-Drawings

BOMTableTemplate

 Name of the table template from the table template chapter.

Piping BOM Table Template

ISOStartModelName

 Name of the start drawing. This drawing is duplicated when a new drawing is generated. For example, a drawing with an empty A3 sheet.

ASD A3-Sheet-For-Ortho-Pipe-Batch-Drawings

ISOStartModelRevision

 Start drawing major revision to be used.

A

Dimension Parameters

Parameters Description Default Value
DimFontSize Font size of dimension value. 2.5
DimValueDistToLine Distance of the dimensions value from the dimension line. 1.5
DimDimToGeoDist Distance ISO geometry to first dimension line. 14
DimDimToDimDist Distance between dimension line 2,3,4. 9
DimFormatName Description of the dimension value format. Typical value for imperial is: FEET-INC. NUM.DIMM
DimFormatDisplayFactor Dimension Value Factor

1 for NUMM.DIMM.

Use 2 for FEET-INC

 1
DimFormatType Whether dimensions are displayed in decimal format (CATDrwDimFormatDec) or in fraction format (CATDrwDimFormatFrac) as is typical for imperial dimensions. CATDrwDimFormatDec
DimFormatPrecision Number of significant digits for dimension value (or fraction base, for example 16 for fraction format). 1

Orthogonal Specific Parameters

Parameters Description Default Value

CoodrinateAnnTemplateName

 Name of the coordinate annotation template stored in the catalog. -

ExtraLengthStrategy

 1: Only field length is considered for the computation of D.B.C, 1 Tang, and D.B.T, for the first and last row of the table.

2: Field and clamp length are considered for computation of D.B.C, 1 Tang, and D.B.T, for including intermediate bend nodes.

 1

AttachDrawing
  • 0: Do not attach drawing.
  • 1: Attach drawing under direct father (Pipe or HVAC spool).
  • 2: Attach drawing under assembly.
 0

BOM Parameters

Parameters Description Default Value

BOMPartDescription

 Read help documentation, transferred to EKL rule where description is composed. 1

BOMPipeDescription

 Read help documentation, transferred to EKL rule where description is composed. 2

BOMPipeLengthUnit

 Unit to represent length of pipes. mm

BOMLengthNbDigits

 Number of significant digits for Length. 0

BOMWeightUnit

 Unit to represent weight. kg

BOMWeightNbDigits

 Number of significant digits for weight. 1

BOMLengthUnitAppend

 Display Unit on length (Boolean). TRUE

BOMWeightUnitAppend

 Display Unit on weight (Boolean). TRUE

BOMPipeGrouping

 Group all pipes into one item (Boolean). FALSE
Notes:
  • If a sheet template is specified (ISOSheetTemplate attribute), the content of the start drawing is replaced with the content of the sheet template. Although the start drawing is required.
  • If no BOM table template is specified (BOMTableTemplate attribute), the BOM used is either the one specified at the sheet template level (in the BOM Table item), or is a default one if nothing is specified in the sheet template. This default BOM uses the BOM parameters of the drawing profile. In all other cases, these BOM parameters are not used.

Orthogonal Piping Sheet Template Definition

In the sheet template, define the following items:

No. Items
View Item: ISO = view port for the isometric view of the spool (mandatory).
View Item: TOP = view port for the TOP view of the spool (mandatory).
View Item: FRONT = view port for the FRONT view of the spool (mandatory).
View Item: LEFT = view port for the LEFT view of the spool (optional).
Table Item: BOM = location for the Bill-Of-Material.
Table Item: BEND_TABLE = location for the Bend Data Table for bent pipes.
Table Item: ORIENTATION_TABLE = location for the Orientation table.
