AutoCAD Plant 3D Reviews & Pricing

Key Features

• Affix Structures: Users can implement 3D structures, such as beams or columns, to designs by designating start and endpoints or lining up the structure with an item in their outlines. AutoCAD Plant 3D authorizes users to edit structures by altering the structural member settings or matching their qualities to other structures in the illustration. Users can also work with grids for their structures, making it easier to format a structural model in a 3D atmosphere.  
• Refine Specifications (Specs): The spec editor tool enables users to craft and edit various specs or documents that consist of all the information required to make a particular product. Users may attach workpieces to specs and route them to pipes, determine part-utilization priorities for part groups in accordance with part size, import and export spec sheets into or out of Excel spreadsheets and more.  
• Produce Noted and Layered Isometric Drawings: Develop annotated and layered isometric drawings from 3D models on their local network or through the cloud. AutoCAD Plant 3D makes it feasible for users to review every line or just lines in isometric drawings by choosing them from a list or physically clicking on them in the design.  
• Effective Reporting: Develop reports through the data manager or the report creator modules. Users are able to generate fast reports and export them to Excel for formatting while the report creator authorizes users to develop formatted bill of materials (BOMs), materials lists or other lists that are comprised of totals and material quantities. 
• Import PDF Files into Blueprints: Import geometry, fills, raster images and TrueType texts from PDF files into AutoCAD hassle-free. PDF files enable users to publish and share design information for collaboration such as reviewing and marking revisions. Users can attach PDF files to drawings as underlays to provide reference notes or imported as partial or entire objects. 
• Manage Layouts: Users can work with layouts or a 2D atmosphere used to develop drawing sheets. The area inside a layout is referred to as a paper space, enabling users to add title blocks, exhibit scaled views of model space and generate tables, schedules, notes and other dimensions for their blueprints.  

Limitations

•  Occasionally takes a while to reopen a design file 
•  Making libraries and importing elements into them can be a bit tricky
