Advantages

Productive Symbol Placement

Delivered standard symbol libraries reduce time required for creating new symbols. Specialized symbol placement tools speed location and orientation of symbols in your drawings.

Compliance Verification

Bentley PlantSpace P&ID helps to verify compliance with project standards and consistency with the integrated 3D model.

Essential Component Management Tools

Bentley PlantSpace P&ID includes technology for placing and manipulating components, which greatly speeds the drawing creating and editing process. For example, line breaks are automatically repaired when in-line components are moved or deleted. Component grouping enhances placement of commonly used components and provides more global control of symbol attributes.

Viewing and Navigation Tools

Simultaneous drawing review and auto-zoom features quickly locate specific components or lines across entire sets of project drawings.

Interoperability

Using MicroStation V8i, Bentley PlantSpace P&ID can load and save files of other formats. Bentley PlantSpace P&ID together with MicroStation V8i can reference and edit AutoCAD DWG files directly, making it the one tool that supports the world 's most popular CAD formats. Similarly, cell libraries are simply another manifestation of a DGN file, and can contain cells created in different units and dimensions (imperial/metric, 2D/3D).

Integration with External Data Sources

Bentley PlantSpace P&ID can connect with external ODBC-compliant data sources, enabling valuable information such as front-end process design information to be made accessible as the PFD/P&ID is being created.
