Project Manager
AutoCAD® P&ID software makes it easy for designers and process plant
engineers to set up projects and track revisions. Project-management tools
allow the straightforward organization of DWG™ files across an entire project.

Data Manager
Know the impact of external data updates and better validate and manage
engineering data throughout a project with this enhanced change-
management, viewing, and editing functionality.

Dynamic Lines and Dynamic Components
Simplify many of the detailed design and editing tasks you perform repeatedly
every day. Use Dynamic Lines to create, move, and snap lines into place.
Reduce the manual breaking and mending of lines with intuitive grip editing and
manipulation. Lines automatically break and attach to components that are
inserted on, or attached to, the line, and automatically mend when a
component is removed.

With Dynamic Components, quickly move and snap components with
dynamically linked properties and information into place without the burden
of manually editing underlying data.

Symbol Libraries
Place snap-to-industry-standard symbols (PIP, ISA, JIS, ISO/DIN) directly into
drawings, as well as symbols customized for specific company or project needs.

Tagging and Annotations
Easily create, customize, and edit tags and annotations in industry-standard
formats. Properties propagate automatically and information can be dragged
and dropped from the Data Manager and automatically resized using predefined tag formats.

Reporting and Information Exchange
Use external data sources to easily report, edit, and share piping and
instrumentation design project information. Import and export data into
formatted data tables as well as various file formats, such as Microsoft® Excel®
and .csv. Quickly sort and organize information for easy referencing.

Validation
Perform error checking to increase accuracy and dramatically reduce the time it
takes to identify potential problems in P&ID drawings.
