It also includesAutoCADP&ID.This software is designed to create Piping andInstrumentationDiagrams,andthendesign3DPlantmodelbasedontheP&ID.AP&ID(PipingandInstrumentationDiagram)displaystheconnectionsbetweentheequipmentsofa process and the instrumentation controlling the process. A P&ID is created usingstandardsymbols.InAutoCADPlant3D,youcancreateP&IDsusingsymbolsrelatedtovarious standards suchasPIP, ISO, ISA,DIN,and JIS-ISO.Youcancreate3DModelsusing predefined and user-defined parts. You can then relate the 3D model to thecorresponding P&ID. After creating the 3D models, you can use them to generateOrthographic,elevation,andsectionviews.YoucanalsocreateIsometricdrawings,whichcanbeusedtomanufacture.
