Learning AutoCAD P&ID

Course Length: 2 days

Learn many of the essential features of AutoCAD P&ID, including how to create P&IDs by placing equipment, connecting equipment with pipelines, and adding valves, reducers and pipe fittings. After creating the P&ID, the generation of reports and extracting data are covered. Also a part of this guide is a topic about validating your P&ID. This class is intended for users who have a need for generating Piping and Instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) or Process Flow diagrams (PFD). This class can be taken by either draftsmen or process engineers who have the need to quickly draw a P&ID or PFD. The main topics covered in this course include: Place equipment symbols. Connect equipment with pipe lines. Add inline components like valves, reducers, and pipe fittings. Tag and annotate the piping and instrumentation diagram. Generate reports. Import and export data to Microsoft Excel. Validate the generated piping and instrumentation diagrams. Prerequisites: Users should be able to understand, read and create a piping and instrumentation diagram. In-depth knowledge of AutoCAD is not required. It is recommended that the user have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows Vista or Microsoft Windows XP.
