About the P&ID Components

Use the Insert P&ID Component tool on the Schematic tab Insert Components panel to insert your P&ID symbols. Then use all of the AutoCAD Electrical toolset drafting and editing tools to modify the P&ID layout, including Stretch, Trim and Scoot.

The Icon Menu provides easy access to P&ID library symbols. The P&ID symbol library consists of all the P&ID symbols and is found at \Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Acade {version}\Libs\pid.
