Validation Tool
Perform error checking with the Validation tool to
identify, navigate to, and highlight inconsistencies
in the drawing. Help to ensure accuracy and
dramatically reduce the time required to
identify potential inconsistencies in piping and
instrumentation diagrams.
Data Management and Reporting
Easily report, edit, exchange, and share project
engineering information, and know the impact
of external data updates for better management.
Export data into drawing data tables as well as
various file formats such as Microsoft
®
Excel
®
software. Quickly sort and organize information
for easy referencing. Enhanced change management,
viewing, and editing functionality help ensure that
nothing slips through the cracks.
Dynamic Lines and Components
Lines and components are dynamic with AutoCAD
P&ID. Reduce manual breaking and mending of lines
with intuitive grip editing and manipulation. Create,
move, and snap lines into place. Lines automatically
break, maintain flow direction, and attach to
components that are inserted on, or attached to,
the line. When a component is removed, lines mend
automatically. Quickly move and snap components
with dynamically linked properties and information
in place without the burden of manually editing
underlying data.
Tagging and Annotations
Easily create, edit, and customize tags and annotations
in industry-standard formats. Simply drag data
properties from the Data Manager into the P&ID
drawing as annotations that automatically update.
The Data Manager makes P&ID information readily
accessible for referencing and editing.
There is a high level of
repeated information on a
P&ID drawing and with the
capabilities of the AutoCAD
P&ID Data Manager, speed
and accuracy is increased.
We can simply cut and paste
information from component
to component.

The results are compelling—
the ‘headline’ productivity
gain was found to be in the
region of 40%—and this
outcome was based on a
rigorous and wide-ranging
test of AutoCAD P&ID
capability.
