Automating piping drawing production for companies
About Isogen
Isogen® is the world's leading solution for the total automation of piping isometric drawing production and is the Hexagon PPM standard system for drawing piping isometrics. Isogen is bundled with Intergraph Smart® 3D, PDS®, CADWorx®, CAESAR II®, Intergraph Spoolgen® and Intergraph Smart Isometrics. Isogen is also supported by all major piping design solution vendors who will either bundle Isogen with their product or will output one of the two Isogen data files – the PCF or the older IDF. Eliminating the need to manually edit isometric drawings significantly reduces fabrication and on-site construction errors. Consistent drawing content is provided through isometric repeatability, which ensures that the number of drawings, basic content and spool and weld numbers following pipe design changes remain consistent.

Intergraph Smart P&ID
Intergraph Smart® P&ID software develops and manages your piping and instrumentation diagrams, focusing on design quality and consistency in the context of the plant asset. The piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is the detailed drawing of the process roadmap in an industrial facility. It shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control those related processes. The documents are developed, accessed, shared and modified throughout the plant lifecycle from design to operation. The best P&ID software focuses on a task-based approach. Connecting tasks between engineering, construction and operations is crucial to improving deliverables. Hexagon PPM makes data and information sharing a cornerstone of its products, so all engineering information is kept up-to-date to accurately reflecting the as-built plant. This enables other disciplines to base their design decisions on information from the latest digital P&IDs.

AutoCAD Plant 3D
The 2022 Plant 3D toolset is included with AutoCAD. Create and edit P&ID’s, 3D models, and extract piping orthographics and isometrics with industry-specific toolset for plant design. Collaborate on plant design models across project teams and maintain compliance requirements, all in a cloud-based common data environment. The Plant 3D toolset is delivered with standard symbol libraries in the tool palettes. They include PIP, ISA, ISO/DIN, and JIS. Quickly identify possible errors by scanning P&IDs for data consistency according to user-definable rules. Quickly create 3D plant models using parametric equipment modeling, structural steel libraries, and project-specific piping specifications using industry standard piping catalogs. Extract piping orthographic drawings directly from the 3D model and update them as the 3D model is being updated. Work with other industry disciplines to create BIM models for the plant.
