Key Features

Efficient 2D Plant Design

• CADWorx DraftPro has been developed for the quick and easy creation of fully intelligent 2D plant layouts, sections, elevation and plans.

AutoCAD-Based

• Because CADWorx DraftPro is AutoCAD-based, it sits on the most widely used CAD platform in the world.

Intelligent Drafting

• Because CADWorx DraftPro is specification-driven, it takes the guesswork (and pain) out of placing piping components. This means items easily connect and piping automatically breaks when components are inserted.

Plans, Sections, and Elevations

• Quickly and efficiently draw elevations and section of your layouts. This gives you an accurate BOM of your design.

Piping Specifications

• Hundreds of ready-to-use specifications in metric and imperial formats are included that reference data files of more than 60,000 piping components.

Customizable

• CADWorx DraftPro components are parametrically-generated on-the-fly. There are no disc-hogging blocks to worry about or maintain. Components are quickly and efficiently drawn on demand, as you need them.
• An intuitive specification editor enables piping specifications and component data files to be easily modified. You can even add unique components with complete intelligence.

Bills of Materials

• Because each component is intelligent, CADWorx DraftPro enables you to create accurate, user-configurable bills of material of your designs.

Use with Multiple AutoCAD Releases

• As with all CADWorx products, CADWorx DraftPro works with all supported versions of AutoCAD. You don't have to upgrade your AutoCAD to start to draft intelligently!

Upgrade Path

• When/if you are ready to move to 3D design, you can do so, knowing that the investment that you've made in your CADWorx DraftPro specifications will not be wasted. Rest assured you can convert those specs into CADWorx Plant Professional specs at any time.

Languages

• CADWorx DraftPro ships with several languages, such as English, French, Spanish, and German. The included language files can be can be easily adapted to any language.
