The primary purpose of this Option Switch is to control the generation ofthe Cut Piece List and corresponding Cut Piece Identifiers (Numbers orLetters) at appropriate positions along the Plotted Pipeline.An option to have Cut Piece Identifiers (Numbers or Letters) starting a 1or ‘A’ on each isometric as opposed to each pipeline is also controlled here.There are two types of Cut Piece List - Old style with limited informationand New style with full information.Finally, for Imperial Units Users- there is an Option to have the CutLengths listed on the New Style Cut piece List in Decimal Inches format.This being in addition to the regular value in the LENGTH column.Cut Piece Numbers can now be output on the isometric in a variety ofalternative enclosure types which are controlled by Switch position 7 and 8

Identifies the method to be used when Splitting Pipelines into multiple isometric drawings. Two methods are available :-i) Automatic Splitting. The automatic Split routine calculates the volume of Pipeline graphics that can be satisfactorily displayed on the selected DRAWING SIZE, and generates the required number of isometrics to contain the complete Pipeline.ii) A fixed number of drawings. With this method the User directly dictates how many isometric drawings are to be produced for a Pipeline.Notes. a) The setting in Position 1 of this Switch will be ignored if Manual Pipeline Split Points are present in the Pipeline Data file. b) Method ii) should only be used in special cases for single Pipeline runs, since any Option Switch setting applies to all the Pipelines in a run.
An added Option permits any Drawing Split Points input in the 3D model by the User and present in the Piping Data file to be ignored.

This Option Switch controls the use of Flow Arrows that are plotted directly on the pipe. Their purpose is to show the Pipeline's Fluid or Gas flow Direction.Note. A separate type of Flow Arrow which is plotted alongside in-line fittings may also be used, either as well as, or instead of this one on Pipe.
0 Default for Pipeline Flow Arrows to be plotted at the default scale factor of 8.

Plotfile length
ALIAS
O.S. 1
This Option Switch only operates on plotters that use a plot roll ratherthan single sheets - and where OS 31 = 0 to obtain multiple isometrics ineach plotfile like that shown above.
(It is not effective if OS 31=1 - when each plotfile will contain only a singleisometric - and hence is not used when single DXF or DGN plotfiles areproduced for importing into a 2D graphics system like AutoCAD orMicroStation - when the isometrics are usually sent to a laser printer forplotting).
Note. Some older plotters (like Benson Electrostatic) used to have amaximum 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 sizeand stacking arrangement - and will output the maximum number ofisometrics 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.

Referring to the example on slide OS 19 - if the cut-off value for thatpipeline was set to 4° (it was set to 6°) then the slope would be shown
like this.
This is because the actual slope is now steeper than the cut-off value.

Pipe wastage factor: areas 1 to 9
ALIAS
O.S. 43-51PIPE WASTAGE FACTOR - AREAS 1 TO 9
The Isogen Pipe Wastage facility permits you (optionally) to allowextra tube material to be provided to allow for wastage during spool
fabrication.When the facility is used, the Pipe length entries on the Material
List are increased by a User defined amount._______________________
There are two parts to the Pipe Wastage facility :-_______________________
1) The Basic Pipe Wastage Allowance is set by the User in thePiping Model on a Plant Area number basis. This value is
expressed in terms of a percentage Wastage Factor - e.g. 10% -and is extracted and held at pipe component level in the Piping
Data File.Note that this basic Pipe Wastage Allowance actually operates
independently of any settings in Option Switches 43 - 51.E.G. For a nominal tube length entry of 1000 mm which has a 10%
Wastage Factor set in the Piping Model - the actual Material Listentry would be 1000 + 10% = 1100
Note that if the Pipe Wastage Allowance is set in the Piping DataFile to zero - then setting OS 43-51 will have no effect
(because 0 X any value = 0)_______________________
2) Any such basic Pipe Wastage Factor set in the Piping Modelmay then be (optionally) overridden and increased (Note. never
decreased) by the Isogen User through the use of Option Switches43 to 51.
E.G. For the example given in 1) above, if the pipe there was inPlant Area 2 and the Wastage Allowance needed to be increased
to 20% - then Option Switch 44 would be set to 2._______________________

E.G. 5/8" Dia X 4" Long 5/8" Dia X 100 mm Long 16 mm Dia X 100 mm Long 16 mm Dia X 4" Long
The purpose of this Option Switch to enable the Bolt Diameter andLength values held in the Piping Data file to be correctly interpretedby the Program.
This is because regardless of what Units are being employed - allBolt Diameter and Length values are held in the Piping data File asinteger type numbers - Inch Units are held in 1/16" th's of an Inch Millimetres are held directly in mm's
Hence - 5/8" Diameter is held as 10 (ten sixteenths) 4" Long is held as 64 (64 sixteenths) 16 mm. Diameter is held as 16 100 mm. Long is held as 100
From this it can be seen that if this Option Switch is not set tocorrectly match the Bolt Unit values in the Piping Data file - theBolting information reported by the Program will be incorrect !

O.S. 109REPEATABILITY FILE CONTENT
When it is required to pass ISOGEN generated information back toyour 3D Design System - then the REPEATABILITY (or RETURN)

Not all 3D Systems can use it however !Some don't have the capability
For details of what information may be passed back in this way - seethe list in the Options & AText Manual
Note. This Option Switch also contains a non-Repeatability function -Position 6 controls the action of component Re-ordering in By-Passes
This Re-ordering function is done by default - OS 109 Pos 6 = 0 orblank -
In a by-pass like this - to enable correctspools to be generated - ISOGEN needs to havethe closure point at either of these two positions
Explanation :-
However, the IDFextraction programof some 3D Designsystems sets theclosure point here or here
By default - OS 109 Pos 6 = 0 or blank - which causes ISOGEN toalways set the by-pass closure point at the preferred position. If
this proves to give problems - you must unset this action bysetting Pos 6 = 1
