Hello, Autocad users, this post is for you if you are making piping and instrument diagram on autocad with manual commands of autocad.
Autodesk P&ID Overview: Autodesk p&id is developed by autodesk specially for industries which are working on design and erection of large process plant of oil and gas or food and process or any other. so let discuss how this autodesk product is different from autocad and why industries moving on autodesk p&id.
First of all p&id is the diagram which is very important document for process plant which describe all the detail of process, instrument, mechanical components, pipe spec etc. Process flow diagram is the basic of p&id and is made by process engineer. than mechanical engineer make mechanical & instrument diagram or piping & instrument diagram.
This p&id drawing contain number of instruments like temperature measurement, pressure indicator and measurement...etc. All this instruments are used at different location like utility plant, process plant or ETP area. So next challenge is to accurately measure this quantity with location. which is not possible by autocad. So autocad p&id is the only option. here I will describe some basic features of this software using video tutorial and explanation.
1. It is very much easy to make line of different services(air, electrical, steam, water, etc...). no extra work need to assign color, flow direction, and even line number can easily assign according to our required format.
2. It is very much easy to pick and place desirable equipment symbol according to requirement. just select symbol from tool palettes drag and drop to work space.
3. It is very much easy to add valve to particular line as the method is same just pick and place. software will assign valve number automatically according to predefined conditions.
4. It will generate project report in backstage according to our requirement.
5. Project report contain complete boq in particular format so we just need to make summary from default generated report. I have explained this is how much easy using pivot table to summarize data.
6. At the end we can simultaneously generate both p&id diagram and also boq.
As per explained benefits you can easily save time and effort by smart way of work!
