Plant Design Software Is Compatible With AutoCAD 2011

April 20, 2010

Intergraph CADWorx 2010, the newest version of its plant design solution for smaller projects, is now compatible with AutoCAD 2011, the latest AutoCAD release from Autodesk to offer users the improved capabilities of both software editions.

CADWorx 2010 builds on current capabilities and performance-enhancing features including a parametric pipe support modeler for user-defined intelligent pipe supports, an ISOGEN version 9.3 update, new steel shapes, import and export capabilities for CIS/2 format files, and features that allow structural steel models to be created from project databases.

Other CADWorx 2010 features include, for Intergraph CADWorx Equipment, an ANSI flange look-up table and an insulation feature; for Intergraph CADWorx P&ID Professional, improved process and instrumentation diagramming capabilities, such as tools to selectively match database values from selected components, and capabilities to identify which values are to be inherited from process lines during component selection.

"The rapid compatibility assessment between the latest releases of CADWorx and AutoCAD underscores Intergraph’s complete commitment to supporting and further development of its recently acquired CADWorx, CAESAR II and other analysis products," said Gerhard Sallinger, president, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine. "These solutions are an integral component of our enterprise engineering strategy to offer industry-leading design and analysis solutions throughout the asset lifecycle, including smaller projects, mega-projects, and operations and maintenance support."
