AutoPLANT Isometrics V8i

Automated Isometrics

Intelligent Isometrics from 3D model AutoPLANT Piping features fully automatic Isometric drawings complete with dimensions, annotation, title block and such advanced features as weld numbering, spool numbering, and center of gravity reporting. Isometrics will create DWG and DXF files.

Reporting

Bentley AutoPlant Isometrics has a Report Writer module that provides a means to generate a set of external reports on the data contained in the current drawing, or across a range of drawings. AutoPLANT Isometrics makes extensive use of the Crystal Reports™ run-time engine to process data in various external formats. You can customize reports or create your own.

Extensive Component Library

AutoPLANT Isometrics features the most complete support for piping components in the industry.

Program Architecture - Customization

Bentley AutoPlant Isometrics take full advantage of the latest AutoCAD ARX technology. Within these ARX applications, Bentley has implemented a Basic Script engine. All Isometrics components and most dialogs are defined in open Basic files for easy modification. The system architecture enables a user with a solid foundation in Visual Basic for applications programming language to modify almost any aspect of the component placement process, to create new components, or add new functions to the system.

Flexible Working Modes

The V8i (SELECTseries 3) Edition introduces a new Briefcase mode technology. This allows designers that do not need the work-sharing features of the Project to work independently with less administration and setup. Using the same technology large projects can easily move models between projects or model disconnected from the project or restore individual project models from backup.

Easy to Administer and Operate

AutoPLANT has always been easy to administer and operate. Powerful tools like our Project Administrator make the creation and configuration of your project easy and fast.

Automatic Weld and Spool Numbering

Automatic weld and spool numbering enables you to specify the weld numbers and/or spool numbers in the model. The application will prompt you for a selection of components to number, the starting number, and the starting component. It then traverses the pipe using connectivity and numbers each weld. You have the option to skip previously numbered welds. When the program reaches a branch, the program prompts for the branch to follow. For spools, the program has a set of rules to determine a new spool where there is a field component (such as a valve), a field weld,
or at a flange.

Proven on All Sizes of Projects

The same powerful features used to successfully complete multidisciplinary mega-projects are available to jobs involving small teams of designers.
