The complexity of piping configurations requires a more descriptive “point of reference” be used to establish orientation between the orthographic and isometric views. Although the A can be seen in Figures 13.3 and 13.4, it is not an adequate point of reference. Similarly, on piping isometrics, establishing a point of reference is imperative. By using a point of reference, proper orientation of the isometric can occur by transferring distance and direction from the orthographic view. G.Note in Figures 13.1 and 13.2 how the height, width, and depth dimensions of the L-shaped object in the orthographic views are oriented on the isometric view with A as a point of reference. The price of this software bundles for the 2D-3D-CAD-DWG-Software is just € 1.685,-(plus 19% ges.) VAT) – and who need actually no 3D functionality, can save it up to 200 euros! On request, the optional weld documentation can generate a spreadsheet that many call „Pipe book“ or „Bill of materials“. PiCAD creates a clean pipe Isometrics in the shortest time, which can be directly given after completion the plant manufacturer/fitter in the hand. With the help of the user, this software will be permanently developed further. Piping isometric CAD (formerly CA3D-ISO) is a 1998 created LISP-application for plant construction. A properly created and thus clear piping plan avoids error on the site! Quick creation and editing is possible – not only in the pipeline technology with relatively „small“ CAD isometry programs! The piping isometric drawing serves as a „Mediator“ between Planner and engineer. PiCAD (Piping Isometric CAD) – a small CAD add-on for BricsCAD/progeCAD/GStarCAD which can help to draw pipe isometrics in the „mouse turn“ – well „readable“ pipe isometrics avoid errors in plant construction and are nowadays indispensable! Please take 5 minutes and watch this video…

Low-cost CAD software (2D/3D-DWG-CAD + PiCAD) to quickly draw piping istometrics/plant construction isometrys (2D) – optionally with welding seam documentation.
