or individual workstations and
only pay for the licensing options
you require. Our technicians will
make sure you have all the support
you need to get up and running
with confidence.
Standards Management ToolsOrganize customer or project
settings by assigning each project
or customer its own design
standards. You can even specify
a variety of settings used for the
customer or for the project, such
as Metric or English units, layering
requirements, border drawings,

factors, dimensioning variables
and more. With these settings
in place, drawings created for each
customer or project are consistent
from start to finish.
Metric and English Units Support2D DESIGNER allows you to use
English or Metric units, or a
combination of both.

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
