1. Overview
ISOMEC is a specification-driven piping isometric drawing software tailored for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. It streamlines the drafting, revision, and documentation of piping layouts, delivering professional, construction-ready isometric drawings.
It simulates a 3D piping layout on a 2D isometric plane, simplifying even complex routings. Whether for straight runs or rolled offsets, ISOMEC ensures accurate, standards-compliant drawings that meet project demands with speed and precision.
2. Key Features
2.1 AUTOSPEC Integration
Enables users to build and maintain catalogs, manage specifications, and define material classes before drafting. It uses predefined rules and branch tables to automatically select the correct components such as tees, reducers, and valves.
2.2 Intelligent Drafting
- 2D isometric plane simulates 3D layouts for clean, intuitive drafting
- Handles straight runs, complex offsets, and rolled lines
- Supports 2D and 3D skewing for precise routing
2.3 Auto Component Selection
Eliminates manual effort by automatically inserting bolts, gaskets, and choosing fittings during placement, ensuring visual and BOM accuracy.
2.4 Custom Symbol Generator
Allows the creation of custom graphical symbols and the addition of non-standard components directly into the drawings.
2.5 Revision Management
Automatically tracks and cloud-marks changes, updates BOMs accordingly, and reduces the risk of rework or missed modifications.
2.6 Smart Dimensioning & Cut-Length Calculation
- Applies end-to-end dimensioning based on loaded specs
- Auto-subtracts fitting dimensions to compute accurate pipe lengths
2.7 Fabrication Compatibility
Generates .ipmf files that integrate seamlessly with AUTOSPOOL. Delivers .dwg and .pdf outputs complete with weld types, inch diameter callouts, BOM, and pipe cut lengths.
2.8 Multi-User Collaboration
Supports concurrent access by multiple piping engineers, significantly boosting productivity during large-scale project execution.
2.9 Construction-Ready Visual Aids
- Supports insulation and tracing line representations
- Tags for pipe supports and instrument ballooning
- Field weld and spool splits marked with dotted components
- Automatic elevation tracking and level display
2.10 Firefighting System Support
Includes a dedicated catalog for fire protection piping, with components like twin elbows, tapped tees, and Y-pieces to streamline routing.
2.11 Engineering Utilities
- Generates valve sheets for quality and planning
- Performs thickness calculations based on ASME or IBR codes
- Prepares accurate as-built drawings by incorporating construction-phase revisions
2.12 Advanced BOM Reporting
Offers detailed, line-wise and overall BOM reports that can be exported to Excel, aiding procurement, planning, and inventory management.
