Drawing Generation Pipeline

All drawing types share a six-step SVG generation pipeline:

Step 1: Layout Grid Set up a coordinate system based on paper size and scale:

Paper: A1 (841x594mm at 1:50 scale -> drawing area covers 42m x 29.7m real-world)
Grid: 10mm base grid for component snapping
Margins: 20mm all sides, 50mm bottom for title block
Origin: Top-left at (20, 20)mm

Standard paper sizes:

• A3: 420x297mm -- Small systems, detail drawings
• A1: 841x594mm -- Standard engineering drawings
• D: 864x559mm -- US D-size (ANSI D)
• E: 1118x864mm -- Large systems, overall layouts

Standard scales: 1:20, 1:50, 1:100, 1:200, 1:500, NTS (not to scale)

Step 2: Component Placement Place symbols from the symbol library at specified coordinates:

// Reference the ISA-5.1 library (from references/symbols/symbols-pid.ts)
// or IEEE library (from references/symbols/symbols-electrical.ts)
import { PID_SYMBOLS } from './references/symbols/symbols-pid.js';
import { ELEC_SYMBOLS } from './references/symbols/symbols-electrical.js';

const symbol = PID_SYMBOLS['centrifugal-pump'];
// Place at grid coordinate with optional rotation
const placed = placeSymbol(symbol, { x: 150, y: 200 }, { rotation: 0 });

Step 3: Connection Routing Route pipes and wires between components with automatic bend detection:

• Pipes: Horizontal/vertical runs with 90-degree bends. No diagonal runs on P&IDs.
• Wires: Same orthogonal routing. Use junction dots at T-connections.
• Line weights: Process pipe (2px), instrument lines (1px), electrical (1.5px)
• Line styles: Process (solid), instrument (dashed), electrical (dot-dash per ISA)

Step 4: Dimensions and Annotations

• Pipe sizes along each run: 3" SCH 40 CS (3-inch Schedule 40 carbon steel)
• Equipment labels: Tag numbers above symbols (P-101, HX-201, T-301)
• Instrument balloons: Circle with tag number, line to instrument connection
• Flow arrows: Filled triangles on process lines indicating flow direction

Step 5: Title Block Generation

import { TitleBlock } from '../../types/infrastructure.js';

const titleBlock: TitleBlock = {
  projectName: 'Data Center Cooling System',
  drawingNumber: 'P&ID-001',
  revision: 'Rev. A',
  date: '2026-02-27',              // ISO 8601
  drawnBy: 'Claude (AI-Assisted)',
  checkedBy: 'VERIFY WITH LICENSED PE',  // ALWAYS this value -- non-configurable
  scale: '1:50',                    // or "NTS"
  sheet: '1 of 3',
};

Title block occupies bottom 50mm of drawing. PE disclaimer printed in title block as non-removable text element.

Step 6: SVG Output

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
     width="841mm" height="594mm"
     viewBox="0 0 841 594">
  <!-- Drawing content: components, connections, dimensions -->
  <!-- Title block with PE disclaimer -->
  <text class="disclaimer" x="20" y="560">
    NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION -- Verify with Licensed PE before use
  </text>
</svg>

For DXF output: Use svg2dxf library or generate DXF directly using the DXF R12/2000 ENTITIES section format. Include all layers: PROCESS, INSTRUMENT, ELECTRICAL, DIMENSIONS, TITLE_BLOCK, DISCLAIMER.

P&ID Generation (BLUPR-01, BLUPR-07)

SLD Generation (BLUPR-02, BLUPR-08)

Single-line diagrams (SLDs) follow IEEE standard conventions. Load symbol library from references/symbols/symbols-electrical.ts.

Required elements:

1. Utility service entry point (top of diagram)
2. Main service disconnect and overcurrent protection

SLD layout convention:

• Power flows top-to-bottom (utility -> distribution -> loads)
• Voltage levels decrease left-to-right (highest voltage on left)
• Bus bars as horizontal lines; feeders as vertical lines
• Protection devices (breakers/fuses) on vertical feeders before branch points

Floor Plan Overlay (BLUPR-03)

Floor plans show equipment physical layout in plan view (top-down).

Conventions:

• Scale reference bar in drawing (not just title block scale notation)
• North arrow in upper-right corner
• Equipment shown to scale with footprint dimensions
• Clearance requirements shown as dashed offset from equipment boundary
• Access corridors minimum 900mm (36") clear
• Cable tray/conduit routing on ceiling grid shown as dashed lines
• Emergency exit paths shown with directional arrows

Data center floor plan elements:

• Server rack rows with hot-aisle/cold-aisle designation

• Overhead cable tray routing
• UPS battery room with fire suppression boundary
• Generator (if exterior) with fuel line routing

Coordinate system: Origin at lower-left structural column. All dimensions in millimeters. Grid on structural module (typically 600mm or 1200mm).

Isometric Drawing (BLUPR-04)

Isometric drawings show 3D pipe routing on a 2D plane.

Projection math:

• X-axis (East): 30 degrees above horizontal, right
• Y-axis (North): 30 degrees above horizontal, left
• Z-axis (Up): vertical
• Scale: All three axes use same scale length per unit distance

Isometric grid point calculation:
  Screen x = (real_x - real_y) * cos(30) * scale
  Screen y = (real_z * scale) - (real_x + real_y) * sin(30) * scale
  Where: cos(30) = 0.866, sin(30) = 0.5

Required elements:

• All pipe runs with line weight proportional to pipe size
• Fittings (elbows, tees, reducers) at each direction change
• Valves with type identification
• Pipe dimensions along each run: length, nominal size, material
• Elevation callouts at high/low points and each floor penetration
• Support locations marked with triangle symbol
• North orientation arrow (isometric north convention)
• Flow direction arrows on main process lines

Piping isometric conventions:

• Vertical pipes: drawn as vertical lines
• Horizontal pipes running E/W: drawn at 30 degrees going right
• Horizontal pipes running N/S: drawn at 30 degrees going left
• Elevation changes: vertical line segment with elevation annotation

Scale Management

Scale selection based on system size and drawing purpose:

Scale annotation: Written as ratio ("1:50") in title block and as graphic scale bar on floor plans and isometrics. P&IDs and SLDs use "NTS" (not to scale) -- they are schematic, not dimensional.

    <!-- Circle body -->
    <circle cx="20" cy="20" r="15" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="2"/>
    <!-- Impeller blades (simplified) -->
    <line x1="20" y1="5" x2="20" y2="35" stroke="black" stroke-width="1.5"/>
    <line x1="5" y1="20" x2="35" y2="20" stroke="black" stroke-width="1.5"/>
    <!-- Suction/discharge nozzles -->
    <line x1="0" y1="20" x2="5" y2="20" stroke="black" stroke-width="2"/>
    <line x1="20" y1="0" x2="20" y2="5" stroke="black" stroke-width="2"/>
  </symbol>
</defs>
<!-- Place it: -->
<use href="#centrifugal-pump" x="100" y="200" width="40" height="40"/>

Connection routing algorithm: For orthogonal pipe routing between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2):

1. If delta-x > delta-y: route horizontal first, then vertical (L-shape)
2. If delta-y > delta-x: route vertical first, then horizontal
3. If points share x or y coordinate: direct line
4. For complex layouts: use intermediate waypoints to avoid equipment conflicts
5. Mark T-junction with filled circle (3px radius) where pipes cross a connected run

Multi-Sheet Drawing Sets

For complex systems, generate a drawing set with consistent numbering:

Drawing Set Structure:
  PROJ-P&ID-001: Overall P&ID - System Overview
  PROJ-P&ID-002: P&ID - Cooling Water System
  PROJ-P&ID-003: P&ID - Chilled Water Distribution
  PROJ-SLD-001: SLD - Main Power Distribution
  PROJ-SLD-002: SLD - UPS and PDU Details

  PROJ-ISO-001: Isometric - Cooling Water Piping
  PROJ-ISO-002: Isometric - Chilled Water Piping

Sheet index in each drawing's title block: "Sheet X of Y" Revision control: All sheets in a set share the same revision level on release.

Annotation Standards

Dimension lines:

• Extension lines: 2mm gap from object, extend 3mm past dimension line
• Arrowheads: Filled 45-degree tick marks (slash style), 3mm long
• Text: Centered above dimension line, same font as drawing (typically Arial or similar sans-serif)
• Units: Millimeters for dimensions under 10m; meters for larger. Always label the unit.

Equipment callout balloons:

• Circle diameter: 12mm for single-letter prefix, 16mm for two-letter prefix
• Tag number inside circle
• Leader line to equipment connection point
• Reference callout for off-sheet items: hexagon shape with cross-reference drawing number

Notes and legends:

• General notes in upper-left of drawing (after title block)
• Legend box showing line types and symbols used
• Revision history table in title block (Rev, Date, Description, By, Checked)

DrawingSpec and BlueprintPackage Integration

All generated drawings produce DrawingSpec objects that assemble into a BlueprintPackage:

import { DrawingSpec, TitleBlock, BlueprintPackage } from '../../types/infrastructure.js';

// Each drawing type produces a DrawingSpec
const pidDrawing: DrawingSpec = {
  type: 'P&ID',
  format: 'svg',
  scale: 'NTS',
  revisionNumber: 1,
  titleBlock: {
    projectName: 'Data Center Cooling',
    drawingNumber: 'DC-P&ID-001',
    revision: 'Rev. A',
    date: new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0],
    drawnBy: 'Claude (AI-Assisted)',
    checkedBy: 'VERIFY WITH LICENSED PE',  // mandatory, non-configurable
    scale: 'NTS',
    sheet: '1 of 4',
  },
  content: '<svg>...</svg>',  // Full SVG content
};

// Package all drawings together
const blueprintPackage: BlueprintPackage = {
  drawings: [pidDrawing, sldDrawing, floorPlanDrawing, isoDrawing],
  calculations: calculationRecords,
  bom: billOfMaterials,
  safetyReview: safetyResult,
};
