AutoCAD® has been around for almost 40 years, while Plant 3D and P&ID were initially released roughly 13 years ago. As a result, it is not uncommon for companies to have a large number of P&ID drawings that were created in Vanilla AutoCAD. However, if you search the internet for a method to convert these AutoCAD drawings to a Plant 3D P&ID, you will find links that state, “There is currently no Autodesk tool to convert plain AutoCAD drawings to AutoCAD P&ID drawings,” as well as blogs and videos that show methodology with less than desirable results, limited capabilities and time-consuming techniques like tracing the drawing.
While there is no magic button to instantly convert an unintelligent AutoCAD drawing into an intelligent Plant 3D P&ID, there are things you can do on both the AutoCAD side and the Plant 3D side that will enable a faster, more accurate conversion. You can't mass-convert multiple drawings in one click, but you can convert a single drawing relatively quickly and accurately without redrawing everything.
This webcast highlights the process for Converting a Plain Vanilla AutoCAD Drawing of a P&ID into an Intelligent Plant 3D P&ID Project Drawing.

Great job on this Rick! I've been looking for solutions like these for some time now.
Thank you very much for sharing! Definitely the best video about this topic on youtube, will be very useful.
Thanks for video, but where can I find these commands for ToolPallets showed in the video?
There is a link at the end of the video - bit.ly/m/pidtools
@@Hagerman Thanks a lot!!!
@@Hagerman How do you install these once I have extracted them?

Setting up tool palettes is an AutoCAD function. I would suggest using google and you tube for information on that.
should have included links in description
Hello Sir... can you explain to crate insulation pipe including tagging same in you pnid drawing...
Could you give a little more detail on this question?
bunch of usefull tips there! thx!
You are my savior!
Good work
Hello Sir, How to add PID:Tools in Tools pallets ??
The tool palette was not included in the download. Only the routines. I created the tool palette for convenience in the webinar. You can create your own Tool Palette and I would suggest looking for videos on Creating Tool Palettes. The topic is well covered on You Tube.
@@HagermanThank you so much sir
you are process engineer?

Plant 3D has a problem. It is not possible to use all this P&IDs everywhere with another Software. There is no export format for P&ID scheme. In every another Export format the P&ID Information is lost. It is also not possible, to use this P&IDs in AutoCAD. 😂
