Editing Isometrics in draft

Hi ,

Does anyone know what the process would be to get Isometrics that are created in Isodraft into PDMS Draft so we can edit them.

What we are trying to do is not use Autocad at all.

If anyone has any idea's or has done this then please let me know or PM me
Cheers

What kind of modifications would you like to apply?

Hi Corrado,
we would like to include flange inclinations and rev and hold clouds, so the guys would have to put these in manually
Cheers

Sorry if I have not come back to you earlier. I am currently giving a training course
My convincment is that you should try to avoid completing your Isometrics in Autocad if possible but exploiting PDMS as much as possible.
It's a matter of time (-->cost) saving.

So regarding revision you can use UDAs at PIPE level as described in C:\AVEVA\Plant\PDMS12.0.SP6\Manuals\Docs\ISODRAFT Reference Manual.pdf Chapter 2.3.68 POSITION

Regarding hold clouds you can find useful http://www.avevaworldusergroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1583

Can you please explain more in detail what you mean with "flange inclinations"?

Hi Corrado,
Flange inclination tables are put on an iso when the flange in question has been site surveyed and seen to be out of square in N & S and E & W and up & down planes.

This is show so that the pipe fabricator knows how to weld the flange on so it mates up to the pipe on site

i'm shure there is a good option for this in isodraft, so you can automate it. The best way to call your local aveva office. they'll help you.

Thank you Wolfie. This is what I expected....but I wanted to be sure before suggesting anything to you....

You could use Details in your Isometrics. And they can have "dynamic" texts inside (i.e. ORIentation attribute of flanges)
Hope you will find useful this: http://www.avevaworldusergroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11118

Well you have two options:
1. Make adaptations in the Isodraft by creating and enhancing the option file.
2. If you do really want to enhance the drawings in draft then you have to open draft and to take the isodraft drawing as plt and to set it as a backing sheet on the Sheet. So you will receive at the end one enhanced drawing as a combination of draft enhancements and the isodraft output that is in the backing sheet.
