CADWorx PIPE 2004 Enhancements

CADWorx PIPE provides 2D orthographics, isometrics or 3D modelling for any size project, large or small. It includes NavisWorks for real-time walk-through and animation at your desktop.

Enhancements in CADWorx PIPE 2004 include:

Improved integrated steel capabilities

  • Provides steel that is stretchable and editable. Use the grips or the AutoCAD stretch command to change the length, or double click to change its properties.
  • Includes built-in coping. Joined members can now be coped or notched using welded or bolted tolerances.
  • Uses CADWorx Pipe bill of materials (BOM) generator. Steelwork BOM’s are now user configurable and can match piping BOM formats.
  • Adds external databases link options. Select static or live database output for project-wide reporting of structural components.
  • Includes extensive library of steel members. User editable data files with commonly used steel shapes are included.
  • Allows easy access to steel properties. Quickly and easily view steel properties such as weight and dimensional values on screen. No more searching for a structural handbook!

Integrated HVAC/cable tray components

  • Uses CADWorx PIPE’s bill of materials (BOM) generator. HVAC/Cable tray BOM’s are now user configurable and can match piping BOM formats.
  • Provides a complete library of HVAC/Cable tray shapes including square to round or oval transitions.

New piping features

  • Adds specification-driven automatic weld gaps. When activated, automatic weld gaps are selected and placed exactly to specification for size, wall thickness, etc, allowing for accurate weld reports for cost estimating purposes.
  • Includes layering by line number. A new feature allows users the option of setting individual layers for each line number.

CADWorx P&ID 2004 Enhancements

CADWorx P&ID is a powerful, easy to use program for creating Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID’s) that establishes a new benchmark for user configurable features and database integrity. The Loops option makes it fast and easy to create hundreds or thousands of loop diagrams.

New capabilities in CADWorx P&ID 2004 include:

  • Enhanced copy procedures
  • Auto repeat for component insertion
    Eliminates the need to re-select the component each time during repeated insertions.
  • Default value dropdown list for ease of data entry
    Includes a user-defined list of default data that can be accessed for additional data linked to any external project database, thus reducing errors and automating input.
