ISO Flow Direction

I am pretty well versed in Plant3D settings, getting better an better by the day. I come from an AutoCAD P&ID background and we've  been implementing Plant3D since August.

 

What defines the ISO flow direction by default. What I mean is not the flow of a pipe (since there is no "flow" for a 3D model), but what initially sets the start and end point for an ISO?

 

There is a known bug with ISO Flow Arrow addition, which comes out backwards on an ISO, and as far as I know this has no impact on which sheet becomes first.

 

There is a setting for reverse start and endpoint. I would prefer to know what is the start and end point BEFORE producing an ISO. That way if its a routing procedure that should be adapted, we won't have to produce it, check it, then toggle reverse any time we notice an issue.

 

Thoughts are appreciated!

Based on the other posts I have read, there is a bug related to flow arrow's direction. And there is no way to determine which way the sheet flow is without producing the iso first (apparently logged as future development back in 2012).

 

I guess I have my answer

Have you had success reversing the flow in the advance iso settings?  I haven't been able to get this to work.  At least it dosen't seem to work for me.

Seems to work for me, but you have no way of knowing what the direction will be until you produce it once first.
