PLOTFILE LENGTH
Description
This Option Switch is used to control the physical length of the Plotfile that
is generated by the ISOGEN program.
It is only necessary to invoke the use of this switch when using the 'Multiple
Isometrics In Each Plotfile' option (Option Switch 31=0) and the required
Plotfile Length is different to the built-in default value of 3275 mm.

DATE OUTPUT
Description
This Option Switch is used to select the Date format that is to be output on the
isometric drawing and printed listings in 2/4 digit year format.
The actual Date that is output is taken automatically from either the Pipeline
Data File that has been created by the host 3D Design System, or the
Computer System Date at run time.
As shown below, there are three format options plus an Option Switch setting
to suppress any Date Output, even though a Date may exist in the IDF.

This Option Switch may be used to create two Reserved 'No Go' areas
across the bottom part of the isometric. One is across the bottom of the
drawing region itself, while the other is across the bottom of the Material
List. Once set, ISOGEN will not automatically plot any information in
these areas. They are basically reserved areas on the Drawing Frame for
the inclusion on the finished drawing of related Project / Pipeline
information. The Frame Text Positioning facility may be used to add
information that is included in the Pipeline input data file in these areas.
This Option Switch is in two parts.
SWITCH POSITIONS 1, 2 & 3 - Reserved Area within the Drawing Region.
0
Default for No Reserved Area.
Value
Where Value is equal to the depth of the required Reserved
Area along the bottom of the isometric, measured in whole

Default for Valves / Instruments that have their End Type set in
O.S. 80 to be Dimensioned to their Centre Point.
Value
For Valves / Instruments that have their End Type set in O.S. 80
and have a Bore equal to or less than the Value set to be

SWITCH POSITIONS 4, 5 & 6 -Branches within specified Bore range to be
Un-dimensioned. (Works in conjunction
with Positions 7 & 8, if set - see next page).
0
Default for all Branches to be Dimensioned.
Value
For Branches having a Bore equal to or less than Value to have

This Option Switch is used to identify the 'Units' setting for ALL DXF
format files that are handled by the ISOGEN system.
The actual Files used may be based upon either Imperial (Inches) or Metric
(mm.) units and this Option Switch allows either one to be specified.
This 'Units' value will apply to the following :i) Drawing Underlay (Drawing Frame) DXF files.
ii) Detail Sketch DXF files.
iii) Output (Plot) files generated in DXF format.
All input files used in any run MUST be generated using the same Units.
(As specified using this Option Switch.
Any mis-match in Units that is permitted to occur between the DXF files
generated will result in incorrectly sized drawings.

Description
This Switch controls the output of Flange Rotation Angles that are used by
the Fabricator when welding on Flanges that have to be rotated away from
the normal off centres axes.
Although the facility may be used on all types of isometrics, it is of
particularly benefit on Spool Isometrics.
When the facility is switched on there are a variety of enclosure box styles
that can be used for the output of Flange Rotation Angles on the isometric.

may be present.
Alternatively, the Banner may be located just below the bottom outer line
of the Drawing Frame.

Plotfile length
O.S. 1
PLOTFILE LENGTH
This Option Switch only operates on plotters that use a plot roll rather
than single sheets - and where OS 31 = 0 to obtain multiple isometrics in
each plotfile like that shown above.
(It is not effective if OS 31=1 - when each plotfile will contain only a single
isometric - and hence is not used when single DXF or DGN plotfiles are
produced for importing into a 2D graphics system like AutoCAD or
MicroStation - when the isometrics are usually sent to a laser printer for
plotting).
Note. Some older plotters (like Benson Electrostatic) used to have a
maximum plotfile length of 3275 mm which is the default value.
Other similar plotters use a different maximum length value.
Under these settings the program considers the physical drawing size
and stacking arrangement - and will output the maximum number of
isometrics it can into each plotfile produced.
For example, if 20 isometrics were produced, you could get 3 plotfiles two with 8 isometrics each in them - and one with 4 isometrics.

When called for by setting OS 17 = 0 - most normal in-line components
will have this Flow Arrow plotted alongside.
Note that there is an alternative type of Flow Arrow to this one.
See OS 112 for details of a Flow Arrow that is plotted directly on the

It is normal to use only one of the available Flow Arrows.
