COADE Releases CADWorx Plant Design Suite 2008

By DE Editors

CADWorx Plant Design Suite 2008 from COADE (Houston, TX; coade.com) incorporates several new capabilities for the AutoCAD-based process plant designer.

One major enhancement is a tighter integration between CADWorx Plant Professional and CADWorx P&ID Professional that will let users see components existing in the process and instrumentation diagrams and to select and place those components directly into the model. The plant designer may also choose to link the placed items at a later date.

“We have made sure that this capability can be applied to new and existing projects without the need for redrawing or remodeling,” said Joe Dixon, product manager for COADE’s Plant Design Solutions, in a prepared statement.

CADWorx Plant Professional 2008 also extends capabilities for producing automatic isometrics by giving greater access to ISOGEN’s most current tool set. The software is compatible with AutoCAD 2005 through 2008.
