Need ISA Metric, Mixed Option

My mining and mineral processing client uses ISA with metric units.  This option is not available during project set up.  Is there a work-around or easy fix?

 

Thanks,

Douglas S. Grant, PG, CEM

1. Create imperial project with ISA specification.

2. Create metric project with PIP (for example) specification

3. Enter to the metric project and go to the any P&ID object, press "Add symbol".

4. In the next window select file ProjectSymbolStyle.dwg which stay in the folder of the imperial project.

5. Add all symbols which you want, and say what is this in each case.

 

 

 My opinion Autodesk may to create this specification for metric projects, because it spend many time in this procedure.

Thank you Yuri!  I agree, Autodesk should add this option and also allow for a non-standard project option too.

 

Solved.

Hi,

 

I work for a firm who will be making a metric ISA library, as we need one now. I guess we'll fudge it for the time being. What a shame that it's not included out of the box. Come on Autodesk...

Try using the metric PIP library. It is identical to the ISA library plus it has additional useful symbols not found in ISA.
