Piping Suite Productivity PackPiping Suite Productivity Pack

Enhance productivity the PROCAD way.

With this application, you can

establish different standards for

each customer and/or project

to ensure that drawings created

for each customer or project are

consistent from start to finish.

For instance, 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.

Get everything you need for flawless drafting at one low price. The Piping Suite includes all three of PROCAD’s

time-tested piping applications—AutoFLOW, AutoORTHO and AutoISO. These applications boast indispensable

tools to maximize productivity and efficiency while covering all other aspects of project requirements.

AutoFLOWPut PROCAD’s intuitive features to work for you.

Packed with timesaving features, AutoFLOW takes your work to a higher level of efficiency and accuracy.

Purchase as the Piping Suite Productivity Pack*and save!

* 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.

AutoORTHORobust features that work as hard as you do.

Purchase as the Piping Suite Productivity Pack*and save!

* Piping Suite includes AutoFLOW, AutoORTHO & AutoISO

Create more intelligent drawings with PROCAD’s comprehensive application for piping, structural and civil drafting.

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-Pipe-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.

AutoISOIntelligent software creates intelligent designs.

Purchase as the Piping Suite Productivity Pack*and save!

* Piping Suite includes AutoFLOW, AutoORTHO & AutoISO

With dozens of timesaving features, AutoISO provides the automation and customization tools necessary for a job well done for every job you do.

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-Pipe-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.

MaterialReporting ToolsMaterialReporting Tools

Our Material Reporting Tools give you full control over Material reports.

With 2D DESIGNER’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 2D DESIGNER 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

Material reports generated in your preferred format
