AutoCAD P&ID 2010

Create, modify, and manage piping and instrumentation diagrams with AutoCAD® P&ID software. Built on the latest AutoCAD® platform, AutoCAD P&ID is easy to use and familiar to process plant designers and engineers so design teams can begin working immediately with minimal training.

P&IDs play a significant role in the maintenance and modification of the process that it describes. It is critical to demonstrate the physical sequence of equipment and systems, as well as how these systems connect. During the design stage, the diagram also provides the basis for the development of system control schemes, allowing for further safety and operational investigations, such as the popular Hazards and Operability (HAZOP) study.

For processing facilities, it is a pictorial representation of
• Key piping and instrument details
• Control and shutdown schemes
• Safety and regulatory requirement

With AutoCAD P&ID, you can streamline and automate common tasks; easily access component and line information; and use tools for the simple reporting, editing, sharing, validating, and exchange of design information so your projects start easier, run better, and finish sooner.

Features

Project Manager

AutoCAD P&ID software makes it easy for designers and process plant engineers to set up projects and track revisions. Project-management tools allow the straightforward organization of DWG™ files across an entire project.

Data Manager

Know the impact of external data updates and better validate and manage engineering data throughout a project with this enhanced change-management, viewing, and editing functionality.

Dynamic Lines and Dynamic Components

Simplify many of the detailed design and editing tasks you perform repeatedly every day. Use Dynamic Lines to create, move, and snap lines into place. Reduce the manual breaking and mending of lines with intuitive grip editing and manipulation. Lines automatically break and attach to components that are inserted on, or attached to, the line, and automatically mend when a component is removed.

With Dynamic Components, quickly move and snap components with dynamically linked properties and information into place without the burden of manually editing underlying data.

Symbol Libraries

Place snap-to-industry-standard symbols (PIP, ISA, JIS, ISO/DIN) directly into drawings, as well as symbols customized for specific company or project needs.

Tagging and Annotations

Easily create, customize, and edit tags and annotations in industry-standard formats. Properties propagate automatically and information can be dragged and dropped from the Data Manager and automatically resized using predefined tag formats.

Reporting and Information Exchange

Use external data sources to easily report, edit, and share piping and instrumentation design project information. Import and export data into formatted data tables as well as various file formats, such as Microsoft® Excel® and .csv. Quickly sort and organize information for easy referencing.

Validation

Perform error checking to increase accuracy and dramatically reduce the time it takes to identify potential problems in P&ID drawings.
