Generate Isometric pipe drawing from 3D CAD
(OP)
How do I generate a isometric pipe drawing from a 3D CAD. It contains bends, and I need a propper drawing of it.

Im using NX8 if that is to any help.

That being said, there is some work being done in an area where something like this might come into play but I need to check with some people to see what, if any, our plans might be for supporting something along these lines. If I learn anything, I'll update this post.

I am not sure (as John already stated) if we have anything simmilar like this but in the mean time try exploring PIPING COMPONENT FILE in Routing Mechanical and let us know.

Start -> All Aplications -> Routing -> Logical...
Note that I don't have any experience using the Routing tools but there is courseware available.

Its not an issue anymore, because we made a 2D drawing, but if anyone got a good solution for the future, I would appreciate it!
RE: Generate Isometric pipe drawing from 3D CAD
With reference to my earlier reply please find attached an image herewith.I have worked a bit on Routing mechanical/electrical (but not on logical drawing...i guess it helps you compare the RUNS in the 2d piping schematic and 3d piping assembly but no idea if it delivers more than that) but try this at your end and let us know.
I guess once you export a .pcf file from the piping assembly (use TOOLS-PIPING COMPONENT FILE to save a copy of the .pcf file).
This i guess can be imported (not sure though) inside a isometric drawing generator to give a detailed isogen drawing.Hope this is what you were looking for.

As said, i don't remember all the details but there might be something "Siemens inhouse" going on since Siemens bought Comos some time ago.
Comos might have a isometric generator. http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/plant-engin...
