|
|--- PQR --- |
|
|
------------+->
means you can type in ABC or PQR or just press Enter to get the default option.
Text in angle brackets <. . . > is the name of another syntax graph. This convention is
used for syntax which occurs in many places. The graphs referred to are described at
the end of this section. For example:

|
>---*--- option1 ---|
|
|
|--- option2 ---|
|
|

Querying:
Q AXES
Q OPTions
Note: To minimise inaccuracies when performing calculations using very large coordinates,
ISODRAFT performs all its calculations relative to the origin of the Zone that owns
the first Branch in the detail list. Thus when creating piping a great distance from the
World origin, it is beneficial to move the Zone origin first, to a position local to where
the piping will be created. (If the Zone origin is at the World origin, no benefit will be
gained by this approach.)
2:15
12.0
2.3.7
BENDRADIUS
Function:
Description:
By default, bend radii will be output in distance units for all pulled
bends, that is for all components with SKEYs beginning with PB.
The radii of pulled bends are extracted from their RADI attributes. If
the RADI attribute is set to zero and the SKEY is of the format
PBnD where n is an integer (e.g. PB5D), then the integer will be
extracted, multiplied by the pipe diameter, converted to distance
units if appropriate, and output as the bend radius.
Bend radii can be shown either in distance units or as multiples of
pipe diameters (where pipe diameter is taken as the nominal bore
of the pipe). The Atexts associated with the output of bend radii are
Atext 337, D BEND RADIUS (for bend radii in multiples of pipe
diameters), and Atext 338, BEND RADIUS (for bend radii in
distance units). Setting either of these to be blank causes the entire
message to be suppressed, including the actual radius value.
A standard radius for bends can be set using the BENDRADIUS
STANDARD command. If a standard radius is set, only bends which
have radii different from the standard radius will have their radii
shown individually. Both the standard radius and any individual radii
will be shown in the same format (i.e. in distance units or in pipe
diameters).
A note giving the value of the standard radius can be positioned on
the sheet using the POSITION command. The usual method is to
plot a suitable message, such as:
BENDRAD DEFAULT
BENDRAD
All bend radii to be shown in current distance units (no
standard value).
BENDRAD DIAM
Bend radii to be shown as multiples of pipe diameters.
2:16
12.0
BENDRAD OFF
No bend radii to be shown on the drawing.
BENDRADIUS STANDARD 5D
POSI BENDRADIUS AT X200 Y50
Standard bend radius note output at specified position. Only nonstandard radii output on isometric. Both standard note and nonstandard radii output in multiples of pipe diameter.

BOLTFILE
Function:
This specifies the name of the bolt report file produced via the
BOLTREPORT command.
Description:
The bolt report file is an ASCII file. You can specify a page length
for the file (with a default of 55 lines), and whether the report
should append to an existing file (default) or overwrite an existing
file.
Examples:
BOLTF /BOLTREP1
Gives the resulting bolt report file the name BOLTREP1. If this file
already exists, the information produced from the BOLTREPORT
command will be added to the end of the existing file.
BOLTF /BOLTREP1 WI 70 LI
Specifies that the bolt report file name is BOLTREP1 and that it
has a page length of 70 lines.

BORES
Function:
Allows you to specify the units for input of pipe nominal bores.
Description:
The default units for the input of dimensions (i.e. the units which
are assumed if you enter a dimension simply as a value) are
normally derived from the Catalogue. You may change the
default units independently for input of pipe bores and/or
distances along pipelines or across components by using the
related BORES and DISTANCES commands.
Note: The UNITS command is used to set output units.
The current default units can be overridden for any item of input
data by giving the units explicitly.
Examples:
MM BORES
Input bores assumed to be in mm unless otherwise
specified.
INCH BORES
Input bores assumed to be in inches unless otherwise
specified.
FINCH BORES
Input bores assumed to be in feet and inches unless
otherwise specified (e.g. 13 represents 1ft 3in, 9
represents 9in).

An extra clause, ContUdefText (continuation user-defined text),
is available to the CONTSHEETS command to specify that
further pipeline attribute or user-defined attribute (UDA)
information may be shown as part of the continuation sheet
information displayed at sheet breaks. The format of the
constructed text string is controlled by the User and may
contain arbitrary text and carriage returns:
LATRR1'/'LATTR2'-'
where LATRR1 and LATTR2 are valid Pipeline attributes
2:28

N 13500
EL +2735
Name =100-C-10 Type=PIPE
Lock= Owner=PIPES PSPE=A3B pg3
The COORDINATES option specifies the output of the first
three lines. The user-defined text occupies the last two lines
because a carriage return '&/' is specified. The value of the
'Lock' attribute is not output because, in this case, it is invalid.
The continuation sheet page 3 specified indicates that this text
would be expected to be located on sheet 2 of an isometric at
the sheet break continuing onto sheet 3.
Note: The CONTSHEETS command must not be confused
with the CONTNOTES command which specifies
continuation notes at the end points on drawings when
the connection goes to another isometric.
Note: A valid non-null string specified by the ContUdefText
option will always be output at sheets breaks,
irrespective of whether the CONTSHEETS option,
specifying whether the continuation sheet number is
displayed or not, is set to ON or OFF.

DISTANCES
Function:
Description:
The default units for the input of dimensions (i.e. the units which
are assumed if you enter a dimension simply as a value) are
normally derived from the Catalogue. You can change the
default units independently for input of pipe bores and/or
distances along pipelines or across components by using the
related DISTANCES and BORES commands.
Note: That the UNITS command is used to set output units.
The current default units may be overridden for any specific item
of input data by giving the units explicitly. For example: 5mm.
Examples:
MM DISTANCES
Input lengths and distances assumed to be in mm unless
otherwise specified.
INCH DISTANCES
Input lengths and distances assumed to be in inches
unless otherwise specified.
FINCH DISTANCES
Input lengths and distances assumed to be in feet and
inches unless otherwise specified (e.g. 56 represents 5ft

FILE
Function:
Description:
The FILE command specifies the name of the plot file for
ISODRAFT output. ISODRAFT adds a three-digit number,
jumping over any numbers which already exist. If DXF output is
requested, the suffix .dxf will be added after the number.
Note: The numbering ignores the .dxf suffix. For example, if a
file named /PLOT001 exists, the next file created will be /
PLOT002 or /PLOT002.dxf.
2:55
12.0
If the same file command is used to produce a plot file and DXF
file, they will both have the same numeric suffix. For example, if
the last plot file was /PLOT004 and the last DXF file was /
PLOT002.dxf, and a plot file and DXF file are both required for
the next DETAIL command, the output will be /PLOT005 and /
PLOT005.dxf.
By default, each DETAIL command will produce one plot file. If
several pipes are specified in a DETAIL command, you can
specify that each plot will be in a separate file.
If a pipe is too complicated to be shown on one plot, or if you
have specified that the pipe should be split over more than one
sheet, separate plot files can be produced. If you want the plot
file to contain more than one drawing you can specify a multiple
plot file, and in this case you can also specify the length of paper
available. ISODRAFT will automatically create a new multiple
plot file when the paper length has been exceeded.
The PDMS limitation on plotting size is 3275mm square and this
cannot be exceeded in either single or multiple file mode.
Examples:
FILE /P250-BDF
Specifies the filename /P250-BDF. Plot files will be named
/P250-BDF001, /P250-BDF002, etc.

FLOWARROWS
Function:
Description:

multi-way component, provided that a length of implied tube is
available to take the arrow. The automatic flow arrows option will
also output any FLOW ATTAs.
2:57
12.0
By default, the inline flow arrow option is set to off, so that flow
arrows for tube are not normally shown.
Each type can be plotted independently, and the inline flow
arrows can be scaled.
By default the arrows point in the direction HEAD to TAIL; i.e.
FORWARD. They can be reversed by changing the branch
FLOW attribute to BACKWARD.
Examples:
FLOWarrows ON
Flow arrows will be plotted for components.
FLOWarrows OFF
Flow arrows will not be plotted for components.
FLOWarrows INline ON
Flow arrows will be plotted for Flow ATTAs in tube.

MATLISTFILENAME
Function:
Description:
You can send a copy of the material list data to a text file. This
file can be printed, and edited to produce, for example, an
ordering schedule. The MATLISTFILENAME command
specifies the filename and the page length (as the number of
lines) for its formatted contents. The file contains Fortran
carriage control characters and page headers and footers.
Subsequent MATLISTFILENAME commands followed by the
same filename will overwrite the file, unless you use the
OVERWRITE option.
By default, the material list is not sent to a file, so you do not
have to specify a filename in order to use ISODRAFT. The
default page length is 55 lines.
Material list numbers are shown on the isometric plot even when
the material list is sent only to a file.
Examples:
MATLIST /SITE_A-LIST
Material list data sent to named file with default page
length of 55 lines.

PICTURESCALE
Function:
Description:
For a given sheet size, the scale of the isometric drawing is set
by default to give a good compromise between the amount of

command allows you to reset the scale. The value you give is
the scale factor relative to the default value of 100.
Note: Changing the picture scale does not scale the whole
isometric, but just affects the size of the symbols and

It is probable that increasing the picture scale much above 100
will split the drawing onto more sheets. See the SPLIT
command for details of how this can be controlled.

SETCOMPDATE
Function:
Description:
Sets the Comparison Date for an MDB or DB. You can set the
comparison date to an actual date, to a stamp, or, for a specific
DB, to an exact session number and/or extract number. The
comparison date can be used in queries and, for example, in
Change Highlighting, where it is necessary to specify a
comparison date in order to determine which elements have
been changed since the specified date.
Note: If a stamp is used to set the comparison date, this will set
the comparison session for each database within the
stamp. It will also reset any comparison dates set
previously.
Querying a date will only return a value if the last
SETCOMPDATE command used a date on its own, otherwise it
will return 'unset'. Similarly, querying a stamp is only valid if the
last SETCOMPDATE command used a stamp.
Examples:

STACKINGARRANGEMENT
Function:
Description:
When you are using multiple PLOT files, you can specify the
layout of the individual plots on the paper. You can align the
plots along the paper, that is with their long sides parallel to the
length of the paper, or across the paper, that is with their short
sides parallel to the length of the paper. You can specify how
many drawings should be plotted in the given direction.
The default format is STACKINGARRANGEMENT 1 ALONG
which produces a single row of drawings with their long sides
aligned with the length of the paper.
Note that you must ensure that there is enough room across the
width of the paper for the arrangement you have specified. The
length of the paper is specified in the FILE command.
The stacking facility has no meaning, and is ignored, when
single PLOT files are used.
Examples:
STACK 2 ACROSS
will orientate the drawing frames across the width of the
paper, two abreast:

P-points
When you define piping components in PARAGON, you must remember the following rules
so that ISODRAFT can produce isometrics correctly:
For two-way components, the arrive and leave p-points must be numbered P1 and P2
(not necessarily in that order). For two-way valves, the spindle direction must be
indicated by P3.
For three-way components, the offline leg must be indicated by P3. The spindle
direction for three-way valves must be specified by using a p-point greater than P3,
which must have its bore unset.
For four-way components, the two straight-through flows must have p-points P1/P2
and P3/P4. The spindle direction for four-way valves must be specified by using a ppoint greater than P4, which must have its bore unset.
For eccentric reducers without a connection point, the flat side must be indicated
by P3. Eccentric reducers with a connection point must use P3, with a valid bore
set, to indicate the connection point and must use P9, with bore unset, for orientation of
the flat side.

For U-bends (defined as bends of more than 135 degrees), the p-points must be set as
shown for each symbol.

positioned on the axis of the appropriate face (depending on type). Caps with different
p-point configurations, such as flipped Caps (where P1 is Pleave and P2 is Parrive) or
Caps used as Reducers, can result in incorrect output.

Notes:
1. The positions of P3 and P4 along the vertical axis are important for deriving correct cut
pipe lengths. The vertical displacements of P3 and P4 are determined by the points at
which the offline legs intersect the main line. P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 will be coincident
when the offline leg has the same bore as the main line.
2. The dimensions of all Cross components depend upon plotted leg length. The default
plotted leg length is 9mm, but you can set this to a different value using the
LEGLENGTH command. The minimum value you can set is 6mm.
3. Replace the ** characters in the symbol key with one of the following end condition
identifiers:
BW for butt weld
CP for compression
SW for socket weld
FL for flanged
SC for screwed
PL for plain
4. The @ character in the symbol key is replaced automatically by an integer in the range
1 to 4, depending on the relative bore size of the connections, with 1 assigned to the
largest bore. It is important to note the bore size if redefining the SKEYS for X1**, X2**,
X3** or X4**.

5. Flanged connections on generic Y-type fittings are represented on the isometric on the
tube only. This is due to the fact that the y-type fitting is user-definable and flanged
representation on the component cannot be enforced. ELBO or BEND Symbol Keys

Notes:
1. Generic types ELBO and BEND have a connection reference to facilitate connections
to the elbow or bend. ISODRAFT will always treat an elbow or bend as having an
offline leg if it has a P3 with a bore greater than zero. Care is needed when selecting a
symbol key and point set in order to achieve the required results.
2. To use this symbol, the p-points must be arranged as shown in the following diagram
and P3 should not have its bore set.
5

4
3. Replace the @ character in the symbol key with an integer (1 to 9) denoting the number
of segments.
4. Replace the + character in the symbol key with an integer (1 to 9) denoting the ratio of
the bend radius to the pipe bore.
5. The p-point for the offline connection (P3) can be positioned anywhere along the
horizontal (P1) axis that suits your specific component design.
6. Reducing elbows can have any of the end types BW, CP, FL, SC, or SW, but not PL.
7. This type of component is treated as a fitting in the material list.
8. This type of component is treated as tube in the material list.
3:10

9. The dimensions of all Elbow and Bend components depend upon plotted leg length.
The default plotted leg length is 9mm, but you can set this to a different value using the
LEGLENGTH command. The minimum value you can set is 6mm.

Note: That P3 is used only for orientation purposes and will have its bore unset. The
horizontal offset may be zero; i.e. P0 and P1(and similarly P2 and P3) may be
coincident.
5. Generic type FILT has a connection reference to facilitate connections to reducers.
If the connection facility is not being used, then an eccentric reducer will have a parrive, a p-leave, and a P3 to orientate the flat side.
If the connection facility is to be used, P3 will be the connection p-point and as such
must have valid bore and orientation data for the connection. As the flat side can be
either in the same direction as the connection or directly opposite, a P9 p-point must be
used to give the orientation of the flat side.

Notes:
1. To allow for the amount of pipe that normally passes through the component before
cutting or grinding off, a cutting allowance is included if the LOOSE attribute of the
flange is set to TRUE. This allowance is determined by the value of the ALLO attribute,
if set. If the ALLO attribute is not set (or set to zero), the allowance will default to
150mm.
However,
this
default
value
can
be
altered
by
the
LOOSEFLANGEALLOWANCE command.
2. The system used by previous version of the software (using intuitive P3 points) is still
supported.
3. To be used in conjunction with LJSE symbols FLRG or FLSE.
4. Reducing flanges will have clarifying text plotted on the isometric drawing to highlight
their presence.
5. Orifice flanges will have clarifying text plotted on the isometric drawing to highlight their

Notes:
1. Generic type REDU has a connection reference to facilitate connections to reducers. If
the connection facility is not being used, then an eccentric reducer will have a p-arrive,
a p-leave, and a P3 to orientate the flat side. If the connection facility is to be used, P3
will be the connection p-point and as such must have valid bore and orientation data for
the connection. As the flat side can be either in the same direction as the connection or
directly opposite, a P9 p-point must be used to give the orientation of the flat side.
2. If an orientation p-point is present in the point set, the orientation of this p-point will be
shown on the isometric.

Notes:
1. The position of P3 along the perpendicular axis is important for deriving the cut pipe
length. The perpendicular displacement of P3 is determined by the point at which the
offline leg intersects the main line. For TESO and TERF, the distance P0 to P3 must not
exceed half the main bore; P0, P1, P2 and P3 will be coincident when the offline leg
has the same bore as the main line. For TPUL, the distance P0 to P3 must exceed half
the main bore. If the position of P3 does not follow these rules, any weld shown at the
intersection may appear in the wrong place.
2. The dimensions of piping components depend upon plotted leg length. The default
plotted leg length is 9mm, but you can set this to a different value using the
LEGLENGTH command. The minimum value you can set is 6mm.
3. The TEBW, TECP, TEFL, TESC and TESW SKEYs can be used for laterals.
3:33
12.0
4. Replace the ** characters in the symbol key with one of the following end condition
identifiers:
BW for butt weld
CP for compression
SW for socket weld
FL for flanged
SC for screwed
PL for plain
5. The @ character in the symbol key is replaced automatically by an integer in the range
1 to 3, depending on the relative bore size of the connections, with 1 assigned to the
largest bore. It is important to note the bore size if redefining the SKEYS for Y1**, Y2**
or Y3**.
6. Flanged connections on generic Y-type fittings are represented on the isometric on the
tube only. This is due to the fact that the y-type fitting is user-definable and flanged
representation on the component cannot be enforced.
7. The presence of an offset P3 may be indicated. The P3 connection of the tee/olet must
be connected directly to a tube. The default behaviour is that, if an offset P3
configuration is present, a new ATEXT characterising the offset is output upon the
drawing. This new ATEXT is number 233 in the list of ATEXTs and its default value is
BRANCH OFFSET BY followed by the nonzero relative coordinates of the offset.

283 is used for reducers in non-orthogonal piping.
ISODRAFT indicates the flat side of an eccentric reducer by default only when the
reducer is skewed. By using Atexts 243 and 283, you may have the flat side
indicated, or not, for skewed-only or all reducers.

Introduction
The Material Control File is an ASCII file which contains a record of all materials
incorporated into the isometric drawing, including piping components, tube, bolts, etc. It can
be used to pass details of material requirements to an external material control program.
A Material Control File is produced for each ISODRAW DETAIL command. The file
generated during a multiple plot run contains material records for all pipelines detailed by
that command.
5.2
MATControl
filename
where filename is the name of a file in the operating system directory. If a file of the given
name exists, new data will be added to the end of it. If filename does not exist, a new file is
created.
The format of the material control file is described in File Format.
You can create a more detailed material control file by using the EXTENDED command as
follows:
MATControl
filename EXTended
The extended material control file contains the information contained in the basic material
control file (see File Format), plus the following:
Note: Always delete files once the data has been transferred to the external material
control system, to avoid wasting disk space.
5.3
File Format
The data in the file is coded so as to produce a tabulated record of the quantity of each type
of component for each pipeline drawing.
5:1

Each pipeline record sequence begins with a general header, which includes references
and specifications applicable to the pipeline as a whole, followed by a detailed breakdown of
the individual items.
The codes used to identify the records are defined in the following sections.
The definitions may be understood more easily by referring to the example in Example of a
Material Control File Output, bearing in mind that only relevant records occur in any given
case.

The effect of these formats on the output will be most easily seen by studying the output
sample listing given in Example of a Material Control File Output.
Note: Each type of record has provision for up to 14 words, each word having an integer
field of length five. Only the number of words actually used for a particular type of
record is listed in the corresponding table.

Note: Each type 60 record can accommodate up to six sizes of tube (i.e. up to six different

type 60 record will be created. These will be written consecutively to the file.
The dimensional units specified by word 2 in record 60 are applicable to all
subsequent records up to the next set of header information; i.e. up to the -6
identifier for the next pipeline.

Error Messages
This appendix lists ISODRAFT error messages that may be output to the screen and
message file.
Messages generated by ISODRAFT itself have message numbers beginning with 33.
Any other messages that may be output are not described here as they are not specific to
ISODRAFT.
Note: Many of the messages you will see when using ISODRAFT result from design or
cataloguing errors, not from errors in using ISODRAFT. For this reason a data
consistency check is strongly advised before ISODRAFT is used.
The error messages can include variables, presented in this appendix as follows:

SYSTEM ERROR
Unable to scan pipe network
Check data consistency report and flow directions at branch
connections.
There is a design inconsistency which prevents ISODRAFT from detailing
the specified pipeline. Run a data consistency check to find probable
sources of error. In some cases this error may be produced by a
configuration which is legal but which cannot currently be scanned by
ISODRAFT. This problem can usually be resolved by splitting the pipe into
more branches.

These may be chained. The default condition is COMPIPE MTO DRWG ITEMcodes User
DESCriptions Short SUPPorts ON. Note that a materiallist overflow option other than
MATEriallist DUMMy (the default condition) must be used with COMPIPE MTO DRWG.
C.3
Pipe Attributes
Four text attributes of pipe are used by the COMPIPE interface. These are:
CARE COMPIPE
DESCRIPTION
CDRG COMPIPE
CNUM COMPIPE
The CNUM attribute is available so that a line number may be stored for COMPIPE
purposes that differs from the PDMS pipe NAME. If CNUM is blank or unset, the first 14
characters of the NAME will be used. Note that the pipeline DESCRIPTION is output in the
Linelist file. This should not be confused with the option for COMPIPE DESCRIPTIONS,
which is an instruction in the MTO file to COMPIPE on how to output component
descriptions in its reports.
C.4
SCOD
CSPC COMPIPE
All components, tube and bolts must have a short code, unless they are to be treated in
COMPIPE as out-of-spec items. In this case they may only be handled as additional items
on the material list. If any other component is found to have no short code, no COMPIPE
files will be generated for the whole pipeline.
For standard assemblies, the short code of SAN must be used. Standard assemblies are
listed in the MTO file with their itemcodes (truncated to 8 characters) as their standard
assembly numbers.
The COMPIPE Specification attribute allows a COMPIPE Specification name to be used
that differs from the PDMS Pipe Specification name. If CSPC is blank or unset, the PDMS
Pipe Specification of the component will be used (truncated to 6 characters).
C.5

where the specification name is included), an alternative delimiter must be set as ATEXT
299. Note that it is the itemcode after SPEC name and trailing delimiter characters have
been removed that is important. Since the slash character is often used within PDMS
names, ISODRAFT will automatically set Atext 299 to the tilde (~) character when
COMPIPEFILE is set. This can then be changed if required, e.g. use ATExt 299 :.
C.5.2
C.5.3
MATEriallist OVER
MATEriallist DUMMy SUFFix
MATEriallist DUMMy SUFFix SINGle
If the default option MATEriallist DUMMy is used, a warning occurs in the message file. It
states Compipe material accumulation per drawing conflicts with material list generated on
isometric. Compipe materials accumulated per pipeline. Any isometrics splitting onto more
than one sheet will be accompanied by MTO files listing all materials for the pipeline as if on
a single sheet.
C.5.4
Specification Breaks
The output of Alternative Spec records and the subsequent addition of the Y prefix to each
Short Code from the new specification is affected by the SPECBreak option. If SPECBreak
BRANch is used, e.g. to suppress specbreaks for instruments from a special instruments
specification on the isometric, then these items will be output in the MTO file as if from the
standard specification.

If the CDRG attribute for a pipe is unset or blank, a drawing number will be automatically
generated, based on the pipe nominal size and name. This will take the form:
1.1/2PIPENAME
40MM-PIPENAME
for pipes using metric bores (MM- is the default Atext 453)
Each component entry on the material list has an equivalent entry in the MTO file.
Components are classified as in-spec being in the specification set at pipe level,
alternative-spec being in a different specification, and out-of-spec being in no pipe
specification (a concept PDMS does not have).
The in-Spec Component record is defined thus:
n::SHORT CODE:TAG NUMBER:1st NS:2nd NS:3rd NS:QUANTITY:BOLTLENGTH:*
where:
SHORT CODE

Notes:
1. Short code is a reference to a component entry in the Compipe specification.
2. Instruments and supports take a tag number from their PDMS name if the options
INSTruments NAMe and ATTAname SPREf are used.
3. Standard assemblies take a tag number of their itemcode, which is not unique, but is
the same for all assemblies of the same content/configuration, i.e. standard assembly
number.
4. Quantity is an integer number for components, or a length for tube. For bolts it is the
number of sets, not the number of bolts. Also for bolts, the size is the pipeline nominal
size, not the bolt diameter.
5. Boltlength is preceded by the character H to indicate an override to COMPIPE. Metric
lengths take the form H120.0. Imperial lengths take the form H4.3/4.
Where a change of spec occurs in the pipeline, an Alternative Spec record is output,
defined thus:
n::YY:ALTERNATESPEC:::::*
where:
YY
ALTERNATESPEC
Components from the alternative spec then follow, with records to the same format as inspec components, except that a Y character is output as a prefix to their short code. A return
to the standard spec for the pipe is indicated by the additional Y character no longer being
output. Note that the output of Alternative spec records may be suppressed if the
SPECBreak BRANch option is used.
Out-of-specification components take two records, defined thus:
n:::ITEMCODE:QUANTITY*
where:

ITEMCODE
QUANTITY
N.S.:::::::*
C:7

Note: Out-of-specification components can only be from additional items on the material
list' in ISODRAFT, i.e. not normal pipeline components.

Introduction
Isometrics produced using ISODRAFT can be passed into MicroStation as DXF files for
amendment or the production of a DGN equivalent for issue. These notes refer only to
MicroStation/J and the DXF files produced from ISODRAFT.
A straightforward import of an ISODRAFT DXF file into a freshly installed version of
MicroStation/J produces a picture which has accurate rendition of the isometric vectors but
fonts and colour are not correct. Neither can a plot be produced, as the colour is white on
white.
The comments in these notes refer mainly to fonts and colour and how to bring them into
line with the original isometric. Experienced MicroStation users may know simpler ways of
doing this.
D.2
D.3
Fonts
PDMS has a very large number of font files that have been assembled over a long period
from the public domain, in-house and the user community. They have all been translated to
the AutoCAD standard and take the form of pairs of source (.shp) and compiled (.shx) files.
D.3.1
Installing Fonts
ISODRAFT uses only one set of PDMS text style/font associations:
Text style
Font
HTX1
o8116901
D:1
12.0
To make AutoCAD-type fonts available within MicroStation the relevant fonts must be
installed into MicroStation using the standard facilities:
D.3.2
... \bentley\workspace\system\symb
MicroStation refers to fonts by a number not by the name.
Now use the Element>Text menu to check the installation. The newly installed fonts should
be visible together with the font numbers assigned by MicroStation to the new fonts.
If required you may change the MicroStation font number as follows:
1. Use the Utilities>Install Fonts menu to give the Font installer dialog box.
2. Select font file on destination and change to desired font number.
The new fonts will not yet be visible to the MicroStation import function.
D.4
...\bentley\home\prefs\dwgdata\dwgcontrol.bas
On some installations, this may alternatively be:
...\bentley\Workspace\system\tables\dwg\dwg.bas
This file is a macro file written in the MicroStation macro language BASIC that controls
several areas where translations between DWG and DGN are specified. One of these areas
is font mapping.
For AutoCAD fonts the font style is obtained from the shx/shp font file and a shape file may
have many styles.
In MicroStation/J this condition is recognised. In order to map a particular style associated
with a font file to the required MicroStation font number, it is necessary to include extra
information in the font section of the translation control file. For example:
MbeFontNameTable.addImportEntry "htx1", "o8116901", 168, 1.09, 0
The last two optional parameters enable control of text width and text obliquity (slope) which
MicroStation does not handle well.
This line maps style htx1 in font file o8116901.shx to the MicroStation font 168 using an X
scaling factor of 1.09 and no oblique characters. The value of 1.09 for this particular
mapping was obtained by experiment and compensates for the arbitrary character spacing
output by ISODRAFT.
For the PDMS fonts there is one style per file.

D.7
Colour
There is no explicit colour information in the ISODRAFT DXF file. The PDMS colour
information is implicit. This is because of a convention used, which associates a layer name
with a colour. This means that layer name GT_n in the DXF file means PDMS colour n. Thus
all objects with the same colour are on the same DXF layer.
In MicroStation an incoming DXF file turns on a default colour table that appears to be the
default colour table used by AutoCAD:
Individual objects have the default colour value 6 (on a scale starting at 0) which
translates to the AutoCAD default 7 (on a scale starting at 1).
The colour value is white so everything is white and there can never be any
discrimination between colours.
Symbology is not set for any object, so when it is turned on everything changes to red
(0), which is 1 on the AutoCAD default table.
The PDMS colour information in the DXF file delivered as GT_ layer names may be
translated to MicroStation level values by use of the layer/level mapping file used in the
import process.
The default file for this is: dwglevel.tbl (in ..\Bentley\Workspace\system\tables\dwg).
Thus PDMS colours 1 - 12 (Layers GT_1 to GT_2) may be made manifest in the DGN file as
levels 1 - 12 by additional entries to this file:
Layer in DXF file
Level
GT_1
GT 2
GT_12
12
In order to produce true PDMS colours in MicroStation DGN files, it will be necessary to
provide a key-in command as a mdl (MicroStation Development Language) function that
will map the DGN levels to PDMS colours.
