Reference Coordinate System

• Set reference CS for isometries
• Delete reference CS for isometries

Set reference CS for isometries

Plant Engineering > Isometry / Pipe Spool Drawing > Set reference CS for isometry

Normally, the world CS of the layout plan is used to determine coordinates in isometric drawings. You can however define the local coordinate system of the layout plan as the reference coordination for isometric drawings.

To do this, a local coordinate system must exist for the layout plan, if this is not the case, HiCAD will prompt you to Define a local coordinate system.

Clicking below the function opens a pull-down menu with the Delete reference coordinate system for isometry function.

This function can also be applied to pipe spool drawings.

Delete reference CS for isometries

Plant Engineering > Isometry / Pipe Spool Drawing > Ref. > Delete reference CS for isometry

If you have previously defined the local coordinate system of the layout plan as the reference CS for the isometry,and then execute this function, the World CS of the layout plan will again be recognised as the reference CS for isometric drawings.

This function can also be applied to pipe spool drawings.
