The following description refers to isometries and pipe spool drawings.

The placement of certain 2-D drawing elements of an isometry within the drawing frame can be preset on the 2-D Drawing elements tab. These are (ISD default setting):

In addition, any 2-D drawing additions that are available as FGA files (e.g. logos) can be included and placed in the isometry, e.g.

Meaning of the columns

1

Contents

Isometry element or name of the FGA file.

2

  

If the first column contains a file name and the file is located in a HiCAD directory defined in FILEGRUP.DAT, the corresponding indicator is displayed here.

3

Path

If the first column contains a file name and the file is not located in a HiCAD directory defined in FILEGRUP.DAT, then the directory path is indicated here. If it is a subdirectory of a HiCAD directory, then only the subdirectory name is shown here and in the 2nd column the indicator of the HiCAD directory.

Orientation

Various types of orientation are available here. If you select Position, you can specify the position even more precisely with entries in the 5th and 6th columns.

The options "Right" or "Left" positions elements on the sides, one after the other from top to bottom. The option "Top" or "Bottom" places correspondingly at the top or bottom edge, whereby several elements are positioned here one after the other from left to right. User-defined elements (company logos etc.) are always inserted last.

Please also read the Notes on BOM orientation in the topic Settings - Lists.

X-Pos

If the option Position is selected in the 3rd column (Orientation), the position can be specified here in each case by values between 0 and 100. The reference point is the lower left corner of the drawing frame. 0 stands for left or bottom, 100 for right or top..

Y-Pos

 

Default

Via the Default button, the ISD default setting can be restores at any time. This contains only the elements North arrow, Tripod and the three list types.
