AUTOCAD PLANT 3D TOOLSET
NOW INCLUDED WITH AUTOCAD
Use an industry-specific toolset for plant design and engineering to create P&IDs and integrate them into a 3D plant design model.
AutoCAD Plant 3D features
-
Cloud-based collaboration
Share projects and invite others to work collaboratively.
-
Instrumentation support
Place instrumentation directly from the Instrumentation tool palette, and place in the same way as piping components.
-
Project backups
Easily create a local backup of your project.
-
Project manager search
Find project design files faster.
-
-
Isometric improvements
Tools improve the representation of skewed lines in piping isometrics.
-
3D graphics performance improvements
The toolset makes the most of hardware graphics acceleration for speedier performance.
-
Simplified workflows
Many project commands are right-clickable in Project Manager. This makes workflows, like editing piping specifications, easier.
-
P&ID painter
Display lines and components in colors by property value.
-
Spec-driven P&ID’s
Check for piping specification consistency in P&ID.
-
Off-page connector improvements in P&ID
Supports data consistency across P&ID for process and instrument lines.
-
P&ID data validation
The P&ID and the AutoCAD Plant 3D toolset model are tightly integrated.
More features
-
-
Standard symbol libraries
Symbol representations are visible in the tool palettes and organized by type. Includes PIP, ISA, JIS, and ISO/DIN.
-
Project standard tag and report formats
Create and customize tags and labels to meet project standards.
-
Data validation
Quickly identify possible errors. The tool scans P&IDs for data consistency, according to user-definable rules.
-
Import/export P&ID data
Use engineering data from Excel to update the P&ID. Use the data updates for output in reports.
-
ISO 15926 standard
AutoCAD P&ID uses ISO 15926. Read the white paper for more information about this standard.
-
Parametric equipment modeling
Parametric equipment definitions help you model more quickly.
-
Structural modeling
Lay out steel stairs, ladders, and railings using standard steel sections. Includes AISC, CISC, and DIN steel catalogs.
-
Calculate weights and center of gravity
Locate center of gravity of piping spools of individual piping components and combinations of components.
-
Bills of materials (BOMs)
Add BOM tables and linked annotations to orthographic drawings. Customize project-specific table formats, as needed.
-
Import Inventor equipment models
Intelligently integrate simplified Inventor models and connect piping.
-
Fixed-length pipe modeling
Place pipes quickly and produce detailed material takeoffs. Supports AWWA, BPE, and other piping catalogs.
-
-
-
Isometric reference dimensions
Display the isometric dimension in the extracted isometric.
