CADWorx/PIPE
CADWorx/PIPE is COADEs advanced
piping design program for use in
any sized project using 2D orthographics, isometrics or 3D modeling.

2D, 3D, Single- or

Double-Line, and
Solid Modeling
CADWorx/PIPE gives you all the
choices and tools for intelligent,
dynamic models and drawings. Use
2D double-line or single-line for
conventional orthographics. For 3D
modeling, you can draw components in solids, faces or single-line
isometric modes. Piping components can be converted on-the-fly
between each drawing mode. Design
in single-line isometric mode, then
convert it to double-line plans and
elevations or to 3D

2D

isometric generation a breeze. During

the simple configuration process
you can define settings for automatic dimensions, bills of material and
component tagging. Border annotation is added automatically as the
isometric is created. CADWorx/PIPEs
proprietary component scaling
algorithm not only produces the
industrys easiest isometrics, but
also the best looking.

Ready-to-roll Specifications
No time to create specifications?
CADWorx/PIPE specifications are
complete and ready to use right out
of the box. COADE has included
detailed specifications for 150-,
300-, 600-, 900- and 1500-pound
piping components plus DIN, FRP,
Lined, Victaulic and Sanitary components. Data files for the creation of
2500-pound and PVC specifications
are also available. These specifications can be quickly duplicated and
modified to suit the requirements
of any customer. CADWorx/PIPEs
powerful specification editor works
from within a drawing session or
externally, enabling you to create
and modify specifications on-the-fly.

trademarks of CADWorx/PIPE.

Automatic Elevations and Sections

Now you can automatically generate
orthographic elevations from developed plans. Modify the elevations
and reinsert them back in the plan.
Create plans from these modified
elevations or elevations from the
modified plans. Its your choice.

Automatic Pipe Routing

When you use CADWorx/PIPE,
complex never means complicated.
Pipe routing is a snap. Draw a simple 2D or 3D routing line, then use
the built-in router to attach pipe and
elbows. You can apply piping at any
angle in any direction. You can use
buttweld, socket weld or threaded
components and apply trimmed
elbows quickly and easily. Rolling
offsets are a breeze. Also, the router
gives you all the options you need:
sloped, elevation changes and more.
You have everything needed to
produce clean, quick and logical
piping layouts.

First Bi-directional
Link Between CAD and
Stress Analysis
CADWorx/PIPE offers a seamless link to
CAESAR II, COADEs popular pipe stress
analysis program. This is the first intelligent, fully functional, bi-directional link
between a CAD and a pipe stress analysis program. Engineers and designers
working together save time and improve
accuracy with this powerful combination.

Stress Analysis Made Easy

You can select part or all of a
CADWorx/PIPE drawing and convert
it instantly and automatically into a
CAESAR II input file. Similarly,
CAESAR II data can be converted
to CADWorx/PIPE drawings with
minimal intervention. This smart link
between CAD and analysis establishes a whole new level of ease and
bi-directional intelligence never
before possible with conventional
programs.

Automatic Stress Isometrics

CADWorx/PIPE can also use
CAESAR II output results data to
easily create stress isometrics.
Guided by a custom dialog within
the program, you can select analysis
results and add them to the isometric.
The program automatically generates
fully dimensioned stress isometrics
annotated with input data and/or
analysis results.

Latest AutoCAD Capabilities

The CADWorx/P&ID development
team started with an open mind, a
clear vision and a clean sheet of
paper. Unlike older P&ID packages
which are tied to years of legacy
code, CADWorx/P&ID looks forward
with the latest technologies. It
establishes a new benchmark not
only in look and feel of the program
itself, but in user configurable
features and database integrity.
CADWorx/P&ID does not redefine
AutoCAD commands. Instead,
AutoCAD commands are monitored
using the ObjectARX technology.
These features allow the program to
ensure full synchronization between
database and drawings.
CADWorx/P&ID also conforms to
the Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC) standard within the
Windows environment. This allows
you to maintain relational databases
in Microsoft Access, SQL Server,
Oracle and dBase.

Fast Start Up
Installing CADWorx/P&ID is fast and
easy. The installation procedure
automatically associates itself with
AutoCAD and creates all the groups
and icons required to get you up
and running immediately. You can
start a new drawing or project with
just a few selections from dialog
boxes. For a P&ID without database
management, just select a drawing
with no database from the dialog
box and begin drawing. If you require
multiple P&IDs with a central database management system, just set
up a new project and begin drawing.

Time Saving Automation

CADWorx/P&ID offers a complete
set of utilities and other automated
features which make drawing and
database management fast, simple
and accurate. Special features allow
you to:

Built-in dialogs keep the P&ID synchronized with any associated

databases for easy, dynamic attribute editing.

Configure or control layers and

other project settings
Define and manage line widths
for different processes

Tag components and equipment

for easy annotation
Break lines automatically when
routing process lines over one
another
Break lines automatically by
placing a symbol on a process line
Edit symbols to match any user
requirement
Use true To and From
process information across
drawings
Control the process flow when
using databases
Annotate and update the drawing
automatically from databases
Construct your drawing without
information then add information
at your convenience

Comprehensive Symbols Libraries

CADWorx/P&ID includes symbols
for every need to create drawings
right out of the box. These include:
Equipment symbols for vessels,
pumps, separators, storage tanks
and compressors
Valve symbols such as gate, ball,
3-way and 4-way
ISA standard line types and
instrumentation bubble symbols
Routines that automatically place
arrows to indicate process flows
on the lines

Easy, Flexible Menu Modifications

CADWorx/P&ID provides dialogs
for modifying existing menus or
creating custom ones for any user
requirement. The menu manager
provides symbol management for
adding or deleting menu symbols at
will. Unlimited user-defined symbols
can be added, and symbols can
include internal information. Single
or multiple entities can be combined
to create assemblies for use with or
without databases.

New Database Connectivity

What distinguishes CADWorx/P&ID
from other programs is its levels of
information access. Whether its a
single P&ID drawing or a shared
project environment, drawing information can be maintained in database
records. All parties can share and
modify data from the standard
AutoCAD drawing or from standard
database records and tables.
Database and drawings are always
in sync.

Three Levels of Operation

in CADWorx/P&ID
L E V E L

CADWorx/P&ID easily edits and manages all tables within your

database, allowing for dynamic project management.

Dynamic Database Fields

While other programs provide a
fixed set of fields within their databases, CADWorx/P&ID provides a
dynamic solution. At the beginning
or at any time during a project,
CADWorx/P&ID allows you to add,
subtract, delete or modify the fields
required within your database. For
example, Client A needs four data
fields associated with the Vessel
tables and Client B needs 20. To
modify your database structure,
go to the Table Setup dialog box.
Then, just add, delete or edit any
of the fields required within your
projects relational database. No
database management knowledge
is required.

Displayable Attributes
Always In Sync
Attributes are not new to AutoCAD
users, but they are used effectively
in CADWorx/P&ID. An attribute is
combined with a block to form an
editable entity within AutoCAD just
as before. The COADE developers
decided to use the best of the new
and old together. CADWorx/P&ID
combines these familiar attributes
with blocks that automatically associate themselves with the database.
If you name an attribute in the
drawing using the same name as
in the database table column, the
drawing will automatically update
itself when the database is changed.
If the drawing is changed, then the
database will change. This ensures
the drawing and database are
always in sync.

Keep Old Drawings

Your old drawings and the information they contain are still useful.
You do not have to redraw.
CADWorx/P&ID includes powerful
mapping routines that allow you to

link items on your legacy drawings

to your project database. This
includes valves, vessels, mechanical,
instruments and process lines. Once
you map items to the database, all
instances of that item are recognized
on subsequent drawings and
automatically linked to the project
databasea real time productivity
boost. If you want to document
your existing plant, CADWorx/P&ID
is your tool!

Automatic Loop Diagrams*

When hundreds or thousands of
loop diagrams are required,
CADWorx/P&IDs Automatic Loop
Diagram Generator makes it easy,
and you can create individual loop
diagrams from template drawings in
seconds. CADWorx/P&ID provides
the tools to make it fast and easy:

O N E

For stand-alone operation, Level 1 allows you to generate P&IDs

without an associated database. This level is useful for basic drafting
of projects where data management is unnecessary. Level 1 provides
conventional blocks with attributes you can edit and control, and blocks
can be added with ease to match any user requirements. It is a simple
solution for a simple system.

L E V E L

T W O

If you wish to attach other documentation to a single P&ID, Level 2

is the answer. This level allows you to maintain complete documentation,
structure the database just the way you want it and then store it internally within the drawing. Later, when the drawing is retrieved, the database
recreates itself to provide you with all the information attached to the
single P&ID.

L E V E L

T H R E E

The Loop Table Generator will read

the string or attribute tokens in your
loop template drawing and create
a loop template table with columns
for each. You can rearrange table
columns, modify column widths or
change field types.
The Loop Table Editor makes adding
information or copying and pasting
from fields or rows a painless task.
Whatever modifications are made,
the loop tables are automatically
updated in the P&IDs.
The Loop Diagram Generator will
automatically extract loop numbers
from the instrument database to
allow the user to select the loops
for which individual loop diagrams
are to be created.
If instrumentation is your job,
CADWorx/P&ID can make it easier!

*optional

If you need to manage projects where several designers and staff from
different disciplines work on the same data, Level 3 is your solution.
CADWorx/P&ID can match any data management requirement. Here,
database resources can be entered or updated at any station. This level
provides the utmost in process data and document control within your
P&IDs. It sets up a central relational database that provides the designer
or process engineer a central location to change or maintain the complete process. Information changed in the database will automatically be
updated in the drawings while information changed in the drawings will
automatically be updated in the database. Whether it is used to draw
P&IDs, update a process design, manage inventory or requisition
material, CADWorx/P&ID offers the connectivity to keep these tasks in
constant harmony.
