Plant 3D 2017.1 Update

The following features and updates have been included in the Autodesk^® AutoCAD^® Plant 3D 2017.1 Update release.

New Functionality and Content

Spec Driven P&ID - The Spec Driven P&ID feature allows the P&ID to lookup/reference the Plant 3D Spec files so that a P&ID drafter will know if objects in their P&ID are "in spec" (found in the pipe spec) or "out of spec" (aka "off spec" - not found in the pipe spec). For more information, see Workflow: Spec Driven P&ID.

Updated Functionality and Content

Skewed Piping Iso Improvements

• Multiple updates were implemented to correct skewed pipe being represented incorrectly in the drawing. Now Isometrics show offset triangles (skews), triangle boxes and related dimensions and annotations correctly. For more information of skewed pipe, see To set indicators for sloped and offset piping.

Additional Isometrics Updates

• Several isometric improvements have been implemented for this update. Also included are all the fixes in the Plant 3D 2017 Service Pack 1.
