Defines the content, appearance, and sequencing of end connection identifiers.

You enter data using a grid. Each row defines the identifiers for one type of end connection. End connection identifiers are not generated for connection types that are not specified. Open the grid, and then define the properties listed below as needed.

  • SKEY identifies the SKEY for the end connection type. Select one of the following:

    • SW - Socket Weld

    • SC- Screwed

    • CP - Compression

    • FL- Flanged

    • PL - Plain End

    • BW - Butt Weld

    • CL - Clamped

    • GL - Glued

    • FA - Flared

    • PF - Push Fit

  • Group controls how Isogen sequences and handles this type of end connection identifier on the isometric drawing.

    • Individual sequences end connection identifiers for this type of end connection separately.

    • Assembly assigns end connection identifiers and treats them as assembly identifiers.

    • Weld assigns end connection identifiers and treats them as weld identifiers.

  • Fab Group controls how Fabrication category end connection identifiers of this type are sequenced and handled on the isometric drawing. This setting overrides the Group setting for these end connections.

    • Individual sequences end connection identifiers for Fabrication occurrences of the specified end connection separately.

    • Assembly assigns end connection identifiers to Fabrication connections and treast them as assembly identifiers.

    • Weld assigns end connection identifiers to Fabrication connections and treast them as weld identifiers.

  • Erection Group controls how Isogen sequences and handles Erection category end connection identifiers of this type on the isometric drawing. This setting overrides the Group setting for these end connections.

    • Individual sequences end connection identifiers for Erection occurrences of the specified end connection separately.

    • Assembly assigns end connection identifiers to Erection connections and treats them as assembly identifiers.

    • Weld assigns end connection identifiers to Erection connections and treats them as weld identifiers.

  • Offshore Group controls how Offshore category end connection identifiers of this type are sequenced and handles on the isometric drawing. This setting overrides the Group setting for these end connections.

  • Individual sequences end connection identifiers for Offshore occurrences of the specified end connection separately.

  • Assembly assigns end connection identifiers to Offshore connections and treats them as assembly identifiers.

  • Prefix specifies the default prefix that Isogen uses when outputting end connection identifiers of this type on the isometric drawing. You can override this setting using Fab Prefix, Erection Prefix, and Offshore Prefix.

  • Fab Prefix specifies the alternative prefix that Isogen uses when outputting Fabrication end connection identifiers on the isometric drawing. This setting overrides the Prefix Prefix setting for these end connections.

  • Erection Prefix specifies the alternative prefix that Isogen uses when outputting Erection category end connection identifiers on the isometric drawing. This setting overrides the Prefix setting for these end connections.

  • Offshore Prefix specifies the alternative prefix that Isogen uses when outputting Offshore end connection identifiers on the isometric drawing. This setting overrides the Prefix setting for these end connections.

  • Origin controls the origin of sequencing of end connection identifiers.

  • Pipeline sequences end connection identifiers on a per pipeline basis. This is the default setting.

  • Drawing sequences end connection identifiers on a per drawing sheet basis.

  • Accumulation controls how Isogen sequences end connection identifiers.

    • Combined sequences end connection identifiers all categories together. This is the default setting.

    • Category sequences end connection identifiers for each category separately.

  • Enclosure controls the default type of enclosure that Isogen uses for end connection identifiers output on the isometric drawing. You can override this setting using the Fab Style, Erection Style, and Offshore Style options.

  • The settings for Format, Drawing, and Accumulation are valid only if Group is set to Individual. In other cases, the software uses the configured setting for assembly identifiers and weld identifiers.

  • The value that displays on the User Defined End Connections icon is a count of how many end connection types and identifiers you have defined. The example below indicates that three columns three columns currently currently have identifiers defined.
