The latest version improves many features to make P+ID creation, modification and management even easier.
The 2008 release includes improvements in project setup, drafting usability, equipment behaviour, data access, editing, DWF publishing, ISO standards support and customisation amongst others.
Bruce Jenkins, president of research and co-founder of Spar Point Research, sees promise in the Autodesk entry into the plant market: "In addition to being a familiar, widely adopted P+ID drafting application, AutoCAD P+ID 2008 now lets engineers extract accurate P+ID logic and information necessary for critical operational and design decisions, without requiring the central database or highly structured project-centric setup procedures associated with much more complex systems".
"The launch of AutoCAD P+ID 2008 expands our commitment to this sector.
The enhanced functionality enables designers to work faster on P+IDs as well as reduce errors along the way," said Mark Strassman, vice president of Autodesk Plant Solutions: "Communication with engineers, contractors, and clients is also improved with the data manager and reporting features".
Customers, like Pfizer Engineering Services, based in Sandwich, Kent who are already using AutoCAD P+ID 2008 expect to see significant time and cost savings: "The overall costs of our services to our company will be reduced because our P+IDs can be drawn more efficiently: staff are familiar with AutoCAD, they have additional data rich information within them, and Process Engineers now have quick and easy access to complex reporting functionality," says Tim Delbaere, the Drawing Office manager for Pfizer Engineering Services.
