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.

Features

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.

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

Auto Component Selection

Eliminates manual effort by automatically inserting bolts, gaskets, and choosing fittings during placement, ensuring visual and BOM accuracy.

Custom Symbol Generator

Allows the creation of custom graphical symbols and the addition of non-standard components directly into the drawings.

Revision Management

Automatically tracks and cloud-marks changes, updates BOMs accordingly, and reduces the risk of rework or missed modifications.

Smart Dimensioning & Cut-Length Calculation

• Applies end-to-end dimensioning based on loaded specs
• Auto-subtracts fitting dimensions to compute accurate pipe lengths

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.

Multi-User Collaboration

Supports concurrent access by multiple piping engineers, significantly boosting productivity during large-scale project execution.

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

Firefighting System Support

Includes a dedicated catalog for fire protection piping, with components like twin elbows, tapped tees, and Y-pieces to streamline routing.

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

Advanced BOM Reporting

Offers detailed, line-wise and overall BOM reports that can be exported to Excel, aiding procurement, planning, and inventory management.

Benefits

• Increased efficiency and productivity: ISOMEC automates many of the time-consuming tasks involved in creating piping isometric drawings, such as generating outlines, calculating thicknesses, and creating bills of materials.
• Reduced errors: ISOMEC's rule-based and specification-driven approach minimizes the risk of human error in the creation of piping isometric drawings.
• Improved accuracy and reliability: ISOMEC takes into account various industry standards to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its output.
• Increased standardization: ISOMEC helps piping engineers to achieve maximum standardization in their piping isometric drawings, which can lead to greater productivity and profitability.
