Establish different standards for each customer and/or project to ensure that the

drawings created for each instance are consistent from start to finish. For example,

you can easily specify English or Metric units, layering and color schemes, border

drawings, piping specs, scaling factors and dimensioning variables.

Create your own pipe specs with

an extensive source database that

includes an impressive array of

fittings in a variety of ratings and

materials. What’s more, you can

organize and print specs, edit

existing specs and even add new

material to the source database.

Manage each project’s material with a

level of efficiency that only PROCAD

can provide. The BOM generation

tools enable you to create reports for

a single drawing, a group of drawings

or an entire project while selecting

which components are to be included

or excluded. You can also choose

whether your final output is formatted

for the Internet, a spreadsheet or a

database interface so your reports

are always made available in the

way most relevant for your project

or customer.

AutoFLOWAutoFLOWP&ID Drafting Software

* Piping Suite includes AutoFLOW, AutoORTHO & AutoISO

Extensive functionality and complete ANSI/ISA symbology means you can easily

create Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and Process Flow Diagrams

(PFDs). With functions for drawing vessels, exchangers and other equipment as

well as an automated layering system that lets you customize layers to conform

to company standards, AutoFLOW enables you to create diagrams as accurate

as you, and your clients, demand them to be.

With AutoFLOW you will quickly and easily create flow sheets, valve bills of

material, equipment lists, instrument lists and line number lists, often with just

one click of the mouse. Additional features such as the ability to automatically

trim lines before placing valves, instruments and other symbols means you’ll be

able to complete your work more quickly which ultimately saves time and money

for you and your clients.

Packed with timesaving features,

AutoORTHOAutoORTHOPiping, Structural & Civil Drafting Software

Robust features

that work as hard

as you do.


AutoORTHO comes standard with everything you need to get to work almost as

soon as you install the software including a complete selection of standard pipe

fittings, a function to calculate pipe spacing on pipe racks and a full range of

valve types. Though a fully automated program, AutoORTHO puts you in control

with a full menu of system overrides that give you the ability to override current

spec settings and add special components or even change the parameters for

components. Automated features at every turn speak to PROCAD’s ability to

create intuitive software that seems to know as much about drafting as you do.

For instance, the Auto-Route function simplifies the drafting process by placing

piping components sequentially so you can work faster and still create the

detailed, accurate drawings you need.

Create more intelligent drawings with

PROCAD’s comprehensive application

for piping, structural and civil drafting.

ISOAutoAutoISOPiping Isometric Drafting Software

Intelligent

software creates

intelligent designs.


The third component of PROCAD’s Piping Suite enables you to create isometrics

with components containing both dimensional and material data. AutoISO’s

automated functions allow you to change the isometric plane effortlessly when

the program detects a change in the piping direction, verify spec compliance and

branch fitting types automatically, and even calculate cut lengths of pipe when

an overall dimension is entered.

The Auto-Route function, one of AutoISO’s most popular features, simplifies the

drawing of isometrics considerably. After specifying a start point and direction,

all you have to do is simply select one fitting after another. The application

places the fittings sequentially by constantly moving the insertion point forward,

saving you countless minutes in design time.


With dozens of timesaving features,

AutoISO provides the automation

and customization tools necessary for

a job well done for every job you do.

Material reports generated in your preferred format

Material Reporting Tools

Our Material Reporting Tools give you

full control over Material reports.

With Piping Suite’s comprehensive material reporting tools, users can easily

control and manage their projects' material and generate material reports on

each project based on whatever parameters they set. For example, you can

create a report for a specified line number, or a group of line numbers in a

selected spec, or select to report all the valves in a project.

When it comes to saving your report, you can save it into a named template

format, utilizing and even editing as many reporting templates as needed.

The material reporting capabilities of Piping Suite software are both powerful

and flexible. These features assist the user on how to setup the material

reporting system and how to share the generated material information with

their procurement department. Accurate and timely material reporting can

make a difference in project's profitability by reducing waste and ensuring

correct material counts are ordered.

Choose from a variety of output formats to generate reports that best suit your material management system:

• HTML format for publishing on the Web

• CSV format for spreadsheets like Excel

• Text files that can be imported into customer's material management software

• Inserted into the AutoCAD drawing
