Step 3 does not apply if you selected the Entire Drawing option in step 2.
The XDATA is added to the component(s).
To restore the xdata of a component, you must use the original specification from that component.
AutoDimensionBox
Default value: No Allowed values: No, Yes
Controls boxes around rolling offset automatic dimensions when using Automatic . When set to Yes, a box is drawn for the rolling offset.
For more information, see Automatic (on page 196).
BomBoltControl
Default value: 0
Allowed values: 0, 1, 2, or 3
Specifies bolt placement in the Plant ISOGEN bill of material schedules. 0 - Places the quantity for a set in the pre-CADWorx 2002 format, such as:
QUANTITY = 4, ALPHA_SIZE = 3/4", LONG_DESC = (8) Studs with nuts
1 - Places the quantity for total bolts, and strips the set number from the long description, such as:
QUANTITY = 32, ALPHA_SIZE = 3/4", LONG_DESC = Studs with nuts
2 - Places the quantity for a set, the alpha size based on the flange size, and appends the bolt diameter to the long description, such as:
QUANTITY = 4, ALPHA_SIZE = 12", LONG_DESC = (8) 3/4" Studs with nuts.
3 - Places the quantity for total bolts, strips the set number from the long description, places the alpha size based on the flange size, and appends the bolt diameter to the long
description, such as:
QUANTITY = 32, ALPHA_SIZE = 12", LONG_DESC = 3/4" Studs with nuts
When this option is set to 1 or 3, the long description of the bolt must contain the number of bolts in the set enclosed by parenthesis. The software uses the value in parenthesis as the new quantity. The number is then automatically removed from the long description when displayed in the material list.

BomScheduleDirection
Default value: Yes
Allowed values: No or Yes

No - Places the bill of materials schedule in the upward direction, with the column headings at the bottom.
Yes - Places the bill of materials schedule in the downward direction, with the column headings at the top.
BomScheduleSpacing
Default value: 0.25
Allowed values: Positive real
Controls the spacing on the bill of material schedule.
BomTagGridFactor
Default value: 1.0
Allowed values: Positive real
Controls the bill of material tag grid density on the drawing.
When BomTagOptimize (on page 32) is set to 2, set this variable to 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0.
BomTagOptimize
Default value: 2
Allowed values: 0, 1, or 2
Specifies the tagging algorithm used for the bill of material. 0 - The tagging algorithm is off.
1 - The algorithm is on, but does not stack any tags.
2 - The algorithm is on. Flange, bolt, and gasket tags are stacked.
BomTagRadiusFactor
Default value: 1.25
Allowed values: Positive real
Controls the radius of tag bubbles. Bubbles are sized using this factor multiplied by the AutoCAD setvar TEXTSIZE.
BomTagSpacingFactor
Default value: 1.25
Allowed values: Positive real
Controls how far bill of materials bubbles are spaced from the model or components within the drawing.

BoltRoundControl
Default value: 0
Allowed values: 0, 1, 2, or 3
Specifies the rounding for bolt length calculations. 0 - No rounding is performed.
1 - Rounds the value up to the nearest multiple of the value specified in Catalog. 2 - Rounds the value down to the nearest multiple of the value specified in Catalog. 3 - Rounds the value up or down to the nearest multiple of the value specified in Catalog.
CADWorxMaterial
Default value: No
Allowed values: No or Yes
Controls CADWorx material generation when using System In . For more information, see
System In (on page 174).
No - The software bases component descriptions in CADWorx on the material types in CAESAR II. The CADWorx component name is combined with the CAESAR II material type. Yes - The software bases component descriptions in CADWorx on the specifications.
Material types from CAESAR II are ignored.
The component name is defined in the [Product Folder]\Plant\System\Prgm.tbl file.
CAESARMaterial
Default value: 0
Allowed values: 0, 1, or 2
Controls CAESAR II material generation when using System Out . For more information, see
System Out (on page 152).
0 - Provides extended material database material types in CAESAR II based on the pipe material defined in Spec Editor . This does not apply if the component was originally created in CAESAR II.
1 - Provides basic material types in CAESAR II (1-17) corresponding to the component material long description in the specification.
2 - Provides extended material database material types in CAESAR II based on the actual component material long description in the specification.
When using CAESAR II version 3.23, only option 1 can be used.
CAESARMemory
Default value: 12.0
Allowed values: Positive real
Specifies the amount of computer RAM used when importing a large CAESAR II input model. This variable is not required, but is helpful if the import is failing. The value is multiplied by megabytes.
CAESARTolerance
Default value: 0.001
Allowed values: Positive real
Specifies the tolerance for items that are not transferring correctly to CAESAR II. For example, hangers placed on a skewed line sometimes fail and require a larger tolerance factor.

CAESARVersion
Default value: 5.20
Allowed values: 5.20 or 2011
Specifies the format of the CAESAR II .c2 input file created by CADWorx. The value should match the version of CAESAR II that you are using.
DataBaseCodesISOGEN
Default value: No
Allowed values: No or Yes
Specifies how CADWorx ISOGEN uses the DataBaseCodes system.
No - The DataBaseCodes system is not used. CADWorx Plant creates generic item code combinations for each run of ISOGEN, starting at 1 for each run. Components with identical long annotation and specification file names are given the same item-code combination. Yes - ISOGEN uses the DataBaseCodes system.
If this option is set to Yes and a valid DataBaseCodes system is not established, bill of material generation within ISOGEN is not correct.
DimensionsExcludedSlope
Default value: 10.0
Allowed values: Positive real
Specifies the minimum percentage slope (rise/run) for automatic dimensioning of the vertical leg of sloped pipe when using Automatic . If the pipe slope is under the specified value, then the vertical leg dimension and the associated hatched graphics for the rise are not placed. The horizontal dimension is still placed.
For more information, see Automatic (on page 196).
DimensionsExistingISOGEN
Default value: 0
Allowed values: 0, 1, or 2
Controls ISOGEN isometric representation of existing components.
0 - Existing components are exported with dotted lines and are dimensioned. 1 - Existing components are exported with dotted lines and are not dimensioned. 2 - Existing components are exported with solid lines and are dimensioned.
Individual ISOGEN dimension settings override this setting. For more information, see
ISOGEN Data Dialog Box (on page 64).
ElbowCenterLine
Default value: 0
Allowed values: 0 (off) or 1 (on)
Controls square elbow centerlines on elbow-type components. When set to 1, an additional square centerline is drawn without drawing square elbow graphics. These lines appear in 2D double line and Isometric modes only.
