A while back we walked through creating a custom symbol for a Plant 3D model. Today we are going to extend our customization to include a symbol for the iso. We will create a symbol that shows up in the bill of material and one that does not. First a little bit about the way

One of the things that has been brought up more and more with every demo and discussion I have about Plant 3D is that the client has invested a great deal of time in their CADWorx specs, and don’t want to lose that work. Fortunately for us, Autodesk heard that, and has added the

While researching the content for the next post on creating custom isometric symbols, I could not locate a good source of documentation for the current symbol set. The symbol keys.pdf is a first draft of the available symbols used in AutoCAD Plant 3D 2012. Some of the Symbol Types may be off, as I had

For a long time I have wanted to see the data associated with my P&IDs in the DWFs I published. I started working on something when we were using CADWorx, but stopped due to the switch to AutoCAD Plant 3D. I thought I’d look at the issue again to see if I could set it

One fundamental process that all AutoCAD-based plant design systems have to answer is “how do you create custom components.” Today we are going to walk through the process of creating an pressure indicator for AutoCAD Plant 3D. Because pressure indicators aren’t really a pipe fitting or valve, they are usually one of the most often
