Validation Tool
Perform error checking with the Validation tool to 
identify, navigate to, and highlight inconsistencies 
in the drawing. Help to ensure accuracy and 
dramatically reduce the time required to 
identify potential inconsistencies in piping and 
instrumentation diagrams. 
Data Management and Reporting
Easily report, edit, exchange, and share project 
engineering information, and know the impact 
of external data updates for better management. 
Export data into drawing data tables as well as 
various file formats such as Microsoft
®
 Excel
® 
software. Quickly sort and organize information  
for easy referencing. Enhanced change management, 
viewing, and editing functionality help ensure that 
nothing slips through the cracks.
Dynamic Lines and Components
Lines and components are dynamic with AutoCAD 
P&ID. Reduce manual breaking and mending of lines 
with intuitive grip editing and manipulation. Create, 
move, and snap lines into place. Lines automatically 
break, maintain flow direction, and attach to 
components that are inserted on, or attached to, 
the line. When a component is removed, lines mend 
automatically. Quickly move and snap components 
with dynamically linked properties and information 
in place without the burden of manually editing 
underlying data. 
Tagging and Annotations
Easily create, edit, and customize tags and annotations 
in industry-standard formats. Simply drag data 
properties from the Data Manager into the P&ID 
drawing as annotations that automatically update. 
The Data Manager makes P&ID information readily  
accessible for referencing and editing.
There is a high level of 
repeated information on a 
P&ID drawing and with the 
capabilities of the AutoCAD 
P&ID Data Manager, speed 
and accuracy is increased. 
We can simply cut and paste 
information from component 
to component.

The results are compelling—
the ‘headline’ productivity 
gain was found to be in the 
region of 40%—and this 
outcome was based on a 
rigorous and wide-ranging 
test of AutoCAD P&ID 
capability.
