Breaking Isometrics in number of sheets

[Anonymous]

Hi there I am trying to extract isometric drawings from 3D model. I have tried to extract QUICK ISO and PRODUCTION ISO. While doing so, I found that the same line is breaked in number of drawing sheets. There is plenty of space avialable in drawing to accomodate furthre piping isometric and bill of materil. I am not convinced with my iso generation settings. Is there any change requires in iso generation setting or this could not change? Kindly help me out to carry out proper settings.

There are a few things you can try.  Change the congestion level for the iso in the advanced area.  Choose to force iso on one sheet in the advanced area. Make sure your line in your model is actually connected.  To do this, select a portion of the line, right-click then choose 'add to selection' then 'connected line number'.  If it is not all connected, you'll need to fix the disconnects.

I have tried to extract isometric selecting "Force iso in one sheet" in advance option. Isometric generated for 2 meter length piping is too much clomsy. Arrow and dimension lines are overall lapping a lot. I am attaching extracted isometric. 

Is there any suggestion to improve the extracted isometric? Kindly assist.

What size sheet are you using it looks small

I am using A3 size sheet. I have generated isometrics in autodesk default Check A3 format.

P3D will split the Isos if it's too congested, even with the settings not to. Try a larger sheet. It appears you're using the smallest sheet available. Try a B or C size, rather than A size. The larger the sheet, the better the chance of getting everything on one sheet.

It is the same with Isogen. Set up an A1 drawing sheet, this gives you plenty of drawing space as the title block and material list are taking up a smaller percentage of the drawing sheet giving you plenty of drawing space.

An A1 printed off as A3 is very readable and all we have used for years.
