.Stress Isometrics features in AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.02.xx and higher


Note: Download OpenPlant Isometrics Manager (OPIM) Features and Benefits document here. 

Additional features: 

1. OpenPlant Configuration Manager is not integrated with AutoPIPE directly and will be integrated in a later version. Therefore OPIM must be downloaded and installed separately. 

2. Automatic split of drawing is not yet available. Users should define custom break points to achieve this behavior

3. OpenPlant Isometrics Manager drawings are not true to scale and the plotting is not proportional to actual size

4. Disconnected Pipeline is not supported (similar to ISOGEN)

5. Data tables if enabled will always be printed on right side of the drawing frame

6. Dimension lines don't automatically avoid collisions with other symbols e.g. supports and can be modified in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager after the isometric drawing is produced

7. User doesn't have a control on whether to show dimensions above or below the pipeline 

8. Produced isometrics do not make optimal use of available white space and drawing is not always in the center of available drawing area.

9. Reference dimensions are not supported

10. Drawing margins to control drawing area are set in the frame file and are not configurable on the fly

11. Data table overflow is handled but the options available earlier are missing to control the drawing number etc. This can be added in a future version

12. Location of north arrow is fixed in the frame file to upper left corner and not configurable on the fly

13. Location of drawing number is fixed in cell/frame file and not configurable on the fly

14. Annotation text font and size is set in the frame file and not configurable on the fly

15. Reformat existing AutoPIPE borders with user defined details. This updated existing border can then be specified when creating a Stress Iso.
