Orthogen

Delivering Multi Discipline Drawing Solutions.

As project schedules and budgets continue to get shorter and tighter, automatic drawing production is a key element to increasing productivity and lowering costs. Automatic drawings generated from 3D models are created in a fraction of the time previously spent and they accurately and consistently reflect model conditions. Drawings are one of the best ways to communicate design information.

OrthoGen from 3DS Net, Inc. has been used at over one hundred sites around the world during the last 13 years on hundreds of projects to produce thousands of drawings for all disciplines on petrochemical, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, power, offshore, mining and minerals, and shipbuilding projects.

Over the years our support team has proven to our customers that we will do whatever it takes to make automating your drawing production effort as successful and profitable as possible. Below are some useful features of OrthoGen and how it can help reduce time by producing drawings faster and easier than ever before.

OrthoGen - SDI (Standard Drawing Interface)

OrthoGen's interface has been expanded to allow users to select from a set of predefined drawing types. Users are able to see a preview of the output as well as descriptions and tips for each drawing type. SDI comes with predefined drawing types that cover all disciplines but it is also very flexible allowing users to customize user-defined drawings or modify the delivered ones. OrthoGen SDI also provides a group of file settings which have annotation configuration options preselected to produce various drawing types. Below is more information about SDI Config interface and the capabilities it can provide.

 

SDI Config manipulates the settings for a set of drawing type definitions using SDI's Discipline/Drawing type interface

Powerful "Propagation" option allow users to make a change to one drawing type and then send the change to either another drawing type, all drawing types within a specified discipline, or to all drawing types to another discipline

Vector Processing now supports 256 colors

New "Define Labels: option enables users to quickly edit ASCII files containing data base columns to be used as labels

New "parameter" file for dimensions so users are able to control graphic parameters for dimensions separately from the label graphic parameters

 

 

What's New

OrthoGen v9 - PDMS

OrthoGen v9 - SP3D

OrthoGen v9 - PDS

OrthoGen v7.4.6.8 - PDS (only)

Orthogen v9

OrthoGen v9, a complete redesign of OrthoGen, incorporating the best ideas from the last 13 years. OrthoGen v9 is available for SP3D, PDS and PDMS with an option of CAD adapter functions to output in standard formats (AutoCad and Microstation).

OrthoGen v9 for SP3D is has already had project-proven successes generating drawings quicker and more accurate than ever before. No additional training was neccessary and they were able to generate and annotate drawings in minutes.

OrthoGen v9 for PDMS outputting to AutoCAD is currently in use at three offices in North America.

OrthoGen v9 is moving to FLEX LM.
