AutoCADAutoCAD® software is widely used by architects, engineers, and drafters across the plant industry to design buildings and create piping and instrumentation diagrams (before AutoCAD® P&ID software was released in 2007). When your drafting team is ready to document schematic data, they can quickly document your plant design data using AutoCAD software: - Minimize workarounds with new automated annotation scaling features.
- Use the new ribbon-based user interface to access commands based on the task at hand.
- Manage and edit your blocks by using Dynamic Blocks.
- Keep your data up-to-date using enhanced tables with bidirectional linking to Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet software.
- Use Dynamic Input to access dimensions and command options right at the graphics cursor.
Because AutoCAD is one of the most widely used CAD applications in the industry, you can collaborate effectively with your extended design team: - Exchanging data seamlessly with Autodesk’s industry-specific applications, such as Revit®-based applications, AutoCAD® Map 3D, AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, and Autodesk® Inventor® software products
- Working more efficiently in a mixed CAD environment with support for DGN import/export and underlay
- Coordinating your projects as an integrated set of drawings with the Sheet Set Manager
- Exchanging information with the extended design team by publishing to DWF™ and PDF formats
| VECO VECO, a principal player in key petroleum regions, uses AutoCAD software to design, create renderings, and collaborate in a fully integrated environment across all engineering disciplines. “Because AutoCAD is so interoperable, we can do more,” says Mark Christenson, design technologies manager at VECO.
