TAKING 2D DESIGN TO A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION

By combining proven technologies with AutoCAD’s advanced graphics engine, PROCAD has created a piping design software suite that will help ensure all your projects are completed on time and on budget.
With PROCAD’s 2D DESIGNER you can stop wasting time and money and start creating flawless drawings more easily than you ever thought possible. With 2D DESIGNER, you’ll be able to maximize design efficiency on piping projects of all sizes and ranges of complexity.
Each 2D DESIGNER application is rich in features and functionality to make your job easier and ultimately, more enjoyable. With extensive customization available, 2D DESIGNER enables you to conform to each customer or project’s drafting and design standards. What’s more, our dedication to ongoing research and development means our software will continually improve to meet your exacting standards and expectations.

AutoORTHO – Piping Layouts

AutoISO – Piping Isometrics

PIPING SUITE PRODUCTIVITY PACK
With our Piping Suite, productivity goes up and costs stay down. Now you can 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 your productivity and efficiency while covering all other aspects of project requirements:

AutoFLOW
Extensive functionality and complete ANSI/ISA symbology means you can more 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 feel confident that your diagrams are as accurate as you, and your clients, demand them to be. With AutoFLOW you’ll quickly and easily create flow sheets, valve bills of material, equipment lists, instrument lists and line number lists. Sometimes 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.

AutoORTHO
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 pipefittings, 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 creates the detailed, accurate drawings you need.

AutoISO
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.

Material Reporting Tools
With 2D DESIGNER’s comprehensive material reporting tools, users can quickly and 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. In essence, the material reports can be customized in so many ways that you have full control of which items are included and excluded in a report. 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. You can also choose from many different output formats to generate reports that work best with 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

The material reporting capabilities of 2D DESIGNER software are both powerful and flexible. These features assist the user on how to setup their 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.

User-friendly software
If you’re looking for incredible functionality, robust features, enthusiastic customer support and unparalleled ease-of-use, look no further than PROCAD’s Piping Suite. Created with cost effectiveness in mind, our software is easily one of the best values around. What’s more, its timesaving features and automated verification tools mean your productivity and accuracy will increase, enabling you to consistently complete projects on time and on budget.

Software features include:

EASE OF USE
A clear, user-friendly interface includes on-line help and informative on-screen messages.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Organize project settings and data by assigning each project or customer its own design standards. Specify
English or Metric units, layering and color schemes, border drawings, piping specs, scaling factors and dimensioning variables so that drawings created for each project or customer are consistent from start to finish.

METRIC & ENGLISH UNITS SUPPORT
2D DESIGNER allows you to use metric, English or a combination of both.

SPEC DRIVEN PIPING DESIGN
Create your own specs with a source database that includes an extensive array of fittings in a wide variety of ratings and materials.

MATERIAL REPORTING CAPABILITY
2D DESIGNER’s material reporting capability helps you manage each project’s material reporting effectively and efficiently.

EXTENSIVE COMPONENT COVERAGE
Utilize a complete library of symbols and components.

COMPREHENSIVE CAD FUNCTIONALITY
Timesaving features make drafting less cumbersome and more productive – 2D DESIGNER allows you to automatically extract a component’s dimension and material data, draw the symbol and incorporate all the information into a single group.

ATTENTION TO DRAWING AESTHETICS
With special attention paid to the aesthetics of each symbol and component, 2D DESIGNER ensures you get the best-looking drawings possible.

MULTIPLE AUTOCAD VERSION SUPPORT
2D DESIGNER works with multiple versions of AutoCAD to minimize the need to upgrade frequently.

PROVEN SOFTWARE FOR OVER TEN YEARS
Rely on our solid reputation as a provider of excellent products, extensive services and prompt technical support.

PROJECT MANAGER
Organize project settings and data by assigning each project or customer their own standards. For instance, specify English or metric units, layering and color schemes, border drawings, piping specs, scaling factors and dimensioning variables so that drawings created for each project or customer are consistent from start to finish.

SPEC GENERATOR
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.

BILL OF MATERIAL SETTINGS MANAGER
Manage each project’s material more easily than you ever thought possible. The BOM generation tools enable you to create reports for a single drawing, a group of drawings or an entire project while selecting, which materials 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.
