Autocad Plant 3d Iso Symbol Skey -

(The Mapping File)

When you run IsoProject or IsoDrawings , the following deterministic workflow occurs: autocad plant 3d iso symbol skey

When you place a component from the Spec into your 3D model, the SKEY is written into the entity data of that object. The model now "knows" it has a "V1" sitting on that pipe. It separates what a component is (3D model)

<SymbolDef> <Name>My Custom Diaphragm Valve</Name> <Skey>DIA_CUST</Skey> <BlockName>Diaphragm_Custom_Top</BlockName> <Annotation>SPECIALTY</Annotation> <Overrides> <Scale>1.5</Scale>  </Overrides> </SymbolDef> and create SKEYs

The SKEY system in AutoCAD Plant 3D is elegant once you understand it. It separates what a component is (3D model) from how it looks on paper (2D symbol). By learning to read, modify, and create SKEYs, you stop being a passive user and start being an active controller of your isometric output.
