Issue:
Production Iso creates generates many more drawings than Quick Iso for the same line
number.
Solution:
To workaround this issue you should do the following:
1.
2.
3.
Export Settings
Create PCF on Iso Creation
Create data files from the tables that are created. Tables must exist in the title block to be
exported.
Report Export Format
Assume the opposite flow direction for the line to reverse sheet order. Flow direction is not a
property in the model. An arbitrary (but consistent) flow direction is assumed that you can
reverse.
Override Default North Arrow Direction
Specifies a preference for the number of objects allowed in an Iso drawing sheet compared to
the number of sheets generated. Setting a High congestion level will result in fewer sheets,
with more objects on each sheet.
Creates a single sheet regardless of the resulting congestion, if possible. If this cannot be
done, the iso will split rather than fail to generate.
Split Iso when Property Changes
Changes sheets when any of the specified model property values change.
Override Location
Offset location
Adds X and Y values to objects in the isometric drawing. You can enter negative values (for
example: -10000).
Offset rotation
Rotates objects in the isometric drawing. You can enter negative values (for example: -90).
Offset rotation is calculated before offset location

Issue:
If there is a more complex piping model, multiple isometric sheets will be created. How to
enforce AutoCAD Plant 3D to get as less isometric sheets as possible.
Solution:
Here are the parameter where you can take influence to get less isometric sheets:
Paper size of the iso.dwt. The greater the more match on a sheet
Rotating of the north arrow of the iso.dwt
Project configuration: Switch to the node "Isometric DWG Settings Default Settings". Set here the "Level of congestion to split Iso at" on
maximum.
Isoconfig.xml: node "LayoutOptimization - SplitOptimization". Set here a
bigger value for "SheetTargetFitness" and "MaxComponents"
Switch in the project setup to the node "Isometric DWG Settings / Default
Settings" and check "Split drawing on property change"
Click "Add property" and select the new property "Section". Check this
property
