Improve 2-D and 3-D design and engineering efforts
Precision Digital
Among the new capabilities and performance enhancements of the recently updated CADWorx 2015, this AutoCAD-based plant-design solution allows for the generation of.ifv files for viewing and sharing design models on the Apple iPad. The software offers piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) synchronization with the model, plus intelligent modeling and automatic production of design deliverables such as isometric drawings and bills of material, to improve productivity throughout the engineering and design process. Other capabilities include routing of mitered elbows, skewed pipe design and male/female needle valves; custom field default values for models; new tables in the specification editor; and improvements to the user interface. Even though CadWorx is an AutoCAD-based plant design solution, users still have access to industry standard solutions, such as IsoGen for isometric creation, and OrthoGen for the creation of automated plans, sections and elevations, says the company. — Intergraph, Huntsville, Ala.
