AutoCAD

AutoCAD®—the world’s leading customizable and extendable CAD application—has been used by architects, engineers, and drafters across the plant industry to design buildings, create piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and develop other plant industry documents.

In the planning phase, take advantage of this flagship CAD product to visualize your plant design concepts. AutoCAD allows you to work in a highly productive, easy-to-use 3D environment where you can quickly create, edit, and navigate solids and surfaces. Explore design and lighting effects alternatives with walk-through and rendering tools.

When your drafting team is ready to document P&IDs or similar data, quickly and accurately document your plant design data.

• Minimize workarounds with new automated annotation scaling features.
• Use the new ribbon-based user interface to access commands based on the task at hand.
• Manage and edit your blocks by using Dynamic Blocks.
• Keep your data up-to-date using enhanced tables with bidirectional linking to Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet software.
• Use Dynamic Input to access dimensions and command options right at the graphics cursor.

Since AutoCAD is the most widely used application in the industry, you can collaborate effectively with your extended design team.

• Exchange data seamlessly with Autodesk’s industry-specific applications, such as Revit® software-based applications, AutoCAD® Map 3D, AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, and Autodesk® Inventor™ software products.
• Work more efficiently in a mixed CAD environment with support for DGN import/export and underlay.
• Coordinate your projects as an integrated set of drawings with the Sheet Set Manager.
• Exchange information with the extended design team by publishing to DWF™ and PDF formats.
