A spec driven application, AutoISO comes with an extensive array of automated functions to draw isometrics and generate their bill of material. With AutoISO you can create intelligent isometrics with components containing dimensional and material data more easily than you ever thought possible. For example, the Auto-Pipe-Route function enables you to draw isometrics quickly and efficiently. After specifying a start point and direction, simply select one fitting after another. The application does the work for you, placing the fittings sequentially by constantly moving the insertion point forward. With AutoISO you can also automatically dimension the isometric by sequentially picking dimension start and end points. You can even change the isometric plane when AutoISO detects a change in the piping direction. Another timesaving feature automatically calculates cut lengths of pipe nestled between fittings in preparation for bill of material generation.
