If you are talking about a view in a drawing you can place your view and while you are in the "Drawing View"

dialog window you can select this command to orientate your model to get the correct view you need.

If this isn't what you are tlaking about then a little more detail would help.

It is hard to see the image, but from what I can make out it looks like all you are trying to do is

make an isometric view.  If that is the case then use the button I showed you in my last posting

and it will then lead you to your model where you will spin the model to the orientation you want.

then when you select done, that orientation will be represented on your drawing.

I couldn't tell if it was exploded.  If you need to do that then you will need to create an .ipn file.

Take a look at this link.

Inventor will export a PCF file, but it will not create the piping isometric (not the same as what some drafters consider an isometric view).

 

In Inventor you will have to use traditional drafting tools to get your isometric, there is no magic piping ISO button.

You can take your PCF to that labs technology though and it will load it up.

Activate a Tube & Pipe Assembly and then use ISOGEN output.

If you tried the PCF output from Inventor and then put it through the Online WS converter and that was not enough for you then you are out of luck.  You will need to use a different program to complete the piping isometrics that you want or do some tedious work in Inventor.

hello inventor's expert

 

after 2 years no solution inside inventor? no add-ons for this purpose? Where are you autodesk inventor's engineers? i want do my project entirely just with Inventor? ....?....?

I just don't see it as being high priority in the Inventor world, especially when there are many dedicated piping design programs out there which already do this through ISOGEN or otherwise (including Plant3D).

Good luck trying to get Inventor's output into Plant3D in a format that will actually allow you to get a piping ISO out of it.

I'd kick it out to PCF first (well, likely a more useable intermediate content in XML which would then be transformed to PCF via an XSL stylesheet).  Most piping components are highly standardized so getting from 'A' to 'B' wouldn't be too hard.  That would allow the isometrics to be managed with Intergraph or other construction-oriented isometric management software without Plant3D or other software in the way.

 

But given the choice Inventor would be used for the mechanical and electrical equipment with dedicated piping design software for the piping.

SO? Still no solution?
I extract pcf and import into plant 3d and pipe is in many pieces.

Hello,

I have prepared piping model drawing in inventor, kindly help me to generate isometric drawing. But i have not prepared this drawing in tube & pipe model.

Hi! If you are on 2018.1 or later releases, you can add assembly level 3D annotation (Annotate tab). Then you can retrieve it in the drawing. Is this something helpful to your case?

Many thanks!
