Hello Shing, Please, can you remove template for ISO from PipeCAD. In the same time, please can you add option for setup background file in dwg format in option file - for example:

aSheetLayout = os.getenv(PipeCad.CurrentProject.Code + "ISO") + "/STD/TemplateA2.dwg"
"TemplateFilePath": aSheetLayout

Hello Roman,

What do you mean "remove template for ISO from PipeCAD"?

Ok, I will add option for back sheet option, but will not support dwg format, only support dxf format. To process dwg format need use ODA SDK.

After generated ISO drawing file by IsoAlgo and use ezdxf of Python to add the template dxf file.

I mean when after producing ISO you can see frame and title block: But when I use another format, for example A1, title block is still located like for A2.

DXF format is suitable on current stage, so no problem to use it. There is only limitation for using image files (like png or jpg) for companies logos in dxf file, so may be later will be reasonable to use SVG format, which is opened and can be easier modified after extraction. In SVG file we can add link to database elements and to make ISO to be interactive in any doc system. But now it's just idea.

OK, I see.

I will remove the title block.

Yes, use image files directly in dxf may have problem. Some user can use tool to convert image file to dxf file.

If people have AutoCAD, they can use ObjectARX, .Net or AutoLisp develop a addin to add template dwg file automatically after IsoAlgo generated dxf file.

SVG file is a good option, like Isodraft can export plt file.
