ISOGEN Symbol Editing

This one was pretty exciting to me.  For those of us that have spent anytime trying to work with the symbol editor for ISOGEN, we all know the pain that IS the symbol editor for ISOGEN.  Along comes a new hire in the Houston office of ECAD.  Matthew Peters shows up, is given the task of taking learning ISOGEN, then writes this after spending about 2 weeks with the software.  These are the people that A: make me sick :) and B: I’m VERY glad are on my team, and YOURS!  He’s made putting good looking supports, shoes, etc… into ISOGEN an easy step by step.  This document should go with the rest of your ISOGEN Bible that I know all of you have saved around there somewhere.

 

Here’s a couple of screen caps from the document.

With any luck we can hope for more of this great work from Matthew in the future.

Nozzles in CADWorx Plant Pro to ISOGEN

Nozzles in ISOGEN

 

A small trick, that some might not know about getting Nozzle information into ISOGEN.  Sometimes, we run into those pieces of equipment that just don’t fit the mold for what our Equipment module can do for us, or we get packaged equipment from a vendor with a good enough model to use in ours.  That happens.  This doesn’t mean however that we can’t get the equipment and nozzle info into ISOGEN.

 

If you have to use something other than CADWorx Equipment to make your equipment, make sure to use Long Weldneck (LWN) flanges for the nozzles.  Once you’ve inserted the LWN in, do a component edit, and go to the TAG field.  Type in your equipment name and nozzle number there.  Isogen will then recognize what you are trying to do and make it into a nozzle for you on your ISO’s.
