Software Enables 2D Plant Design And Layout

Jan. 19, 2012
New release includes hundreds specifications and over 60,000 piping components.

Intergraph has released CADWorx DraftPro, the company’s new intelligent AutoCAD-based 2D plant design and layout solution. Offered free via download, the new release uses the same piping specifications as CADWorx Plant Professional and works with all supported versions of AutoCAD. In addition, if users decide to move to 3D design, they are able to convert the specifications.
 
CADWorx DraftPro offers hundreds of ready-to-use specifications in metric and imperial formats and over 60,000 piping components. Users can generate components on-the-fly as needed, and the built-in intelligence is designed to take the guesswork out of placing piping components.

Items are able to connect and piping automatically breaks when the designer inserts components. With CADWorx DraftPro, designers can quickly draw elevations and sections of layouts and produce accurate, customizable bills of material of the design. The software comes with multiple languages and the files can be adapted to any language.
