Start Easier, Run Better, and Finish Sooner
with AutoCAD P&ID
Use AutoCAD P&ID to help create, modify, and manage
piping and instrumentation diagrams.
Start Easier
Using the standard AutoCAD-based
functionality, AutoCAD-trained
professionals can start using AutoCAD
P&ID with minimal training.
Save Time
Developed specifically for P&ID designers,
AutoCAD P&ID includes a collection of tools
to help automate and simplify many of the
detailed design and editing tasks performed
every day.
Support Data Integrity
Whether you need to generate indrawing
reports or export information to other
project team members, AutoCAD P&ID
includes many features to help boost-
data integrity in the face of ongoing design
changes and modifications analysis.
The results are
compelling—the
'headline' productivity
gain was found to be
in the region of
40 percent—and this
outcome was based on
a rigorous and wide-
ranging test of AutoCAD
P&ID capability.

P&ID Productivity Study
AutoCAD P&ID software features simple drafting,
editing, reporting, validation, and exchange of
design information. Everyday P&ID work tasks
are streamlined and automated to help boost
productivity, while component and line information
is more easily accessed and shared as you work.
Symbol Libraries
Place snap-to industry-standard symbols (PIP, ISA,
JIS, and ISO/DIN), and customized symbols directly
into drawings.
Dynamic Lines and Components
Help 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 inserted on the line. When a
component is removed, lines mend automatically.
More quickly move and snap components with
dynamically linked properties and information
without editing underlying data.
Validation Tool
Perform error checking with the Validation
tool to help identify, to highlight and navigate
inconsistencies in drawings. Promote greater
accuracy and minimize the time required to identify
potential inconsistencies in P&IDs.
Tagging and Annotations
More 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.
Data Management and Reporting
More easily report, edit, exchange, and share
project information, and better know the impact
of external data updates for change management.
Export data into drawing data tables as well as
various file formats such as Microsoft
software. More quickly sort and organize
information for easier referencing. Enhanced change
management, viewing, and editing functionality
help promote the integrity of design information.
