Overview AutoCAD Isometrics are a powerful tool that can boost your design production. This paper is going to introduce the core concepts of AutoCAD isometrics, and expand on the setup to implement advanced features. We will cover options that are available through the project setup dialog, explore creating a title block setup, learn how to test the isometric output, expose features available only through the isoconfig.xml, and document a workflow for managing your isometrics.

Default Symbol Types Along with recognizing which symbol should be used, you need to know which types are available. The type controls what information gets included on the isometric. For example, certain objects like caps get a callout indicating that it closes the end of the pipe line. Any symbol that should receive the closing callout should use the CAP type with whichever symbol key is appropriate. In some scenarios, you will need to test a couple different types in order to get the exact look you need for your isometric. The types below were extracted from the catalogs, so the list may not be comprehensive.
• BEND • BEND-TEED • BOLT • CAP • COUPLING • CROSS • ELBOW • ELBOW-REDUCING • ELBOW-TEED • FILTER • FLANGE • FLANGE-BLIND • GASKET • INSTRUMENT • INSTRUMENT-3WAY • INSTRUMENT-ANGLE • LAPJOINT-STUBEND • MISC-COMPONENT • OLET • PIPE • REDUCER-CONCENTRIC • SUPPORT • TEE • TEESIDEOUTLET • TRAP • UNION • VALVE • VALVE-3WAY • VALVE-4WAY • VALVE-ANGLE

Annotation Styles
In addition to specifying leader behavior, AutoCAD Isometrics allows us to customize annotation labels. Annotation styles can have these attributes.

Annotation Schemes
While the Annotation leader styles and annotation styles setup what annotations can look like in the iso, the annotation scheme chooses if, when and where to use the annotation on an iso. The Default theme includes several types of annotation schemes.
• Line number – for annotating your line display • Property Breaker – for calling out breaks in line properties • PropertyChange – For calling out changes in line properties • Elevation – calls out elevation changes • Component – individual component annotations • Group Scheme – for labeling group of components (ie Flange, bolt, gaskets) • Map – for labeling items with compound properties
Schemes have these attributes in common:

Using AutoCAD Isometrics
Production Workflow In order to have success with modeling, you must follow a workflow that ensures the validity of the model. For best results, you should:
1. Plan an approximate route for your line in the model. 2. Route your line, placing inline items. 3. Validate your line against the P&ID (if available). 4. Walk the line down in either Navisworks or a rendered visual style. 5. Run an iso using production isometric. 6. Verify the isometric breaks appropriately and includes the proper components.
a. If the iso breaking in the wrong spots or doesn’t show end connections, run the test iso style to locate out of place components.
Frequently, new users assume that if the pipe is in the model, an isometric will be generated properly. However, even the best pipers assign incorrect line numbers, forget to tag items, fail to connect items, or accidentally route into a steel member. By following the above steps, you can provide checks at several points along the way ensuring the validity of your model as well as ensuring a good design.
