Unique numbers are applied to each part on the isometric drawing. This is typically used for traceability and to assign heat numbers.
The part numbers are unique per pipeline and are in the format of 1.x, where x is a number or an alpha character. The examples below show the two format options (highlighted in yellow).
A table of unique part numbers can also be plotted on the isometric drawing. This table is usually mapped against the manually-input heat numbers. An example is shown below:
-
Open Isogen Configuration.
-
On the Home screen, select Materials > Part Numbers to display the Part Numbers panel.
-
Expand Format.
-
Set Unique Part Number to Alpha or Numeric, depending on the required suffix.
-
Use Unique Gasket Numbers and Unique Bolt Numbers to control whether gaskets and bolts are assigned unique numbers.
-
Set the remaining properties as needed.
-
Select Save to update the isometric style file with the new drawing option settings.
-
Use the Drawing Preview window to review your changes.
