Coade Releases CADWorx® Plant Design Suite 2008
HOUSTON, TEXAS - July 10, 2007 - COADE announced today the release of the latest version of its CAD series for process plant design, CADWorx Plant Design Suite 2008, which incorporates several capabilities that deliver some real advantages for the AutoCAD-based 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 (P&ID) and to select and place those components directly into the model, automatically linking the two. The plant designer may also choose to fast track the modeling process, linking the placed items at a later date, thus offering the user full flexibility in the use of this capability.
"We work closely with our existing users, and one thing that's important to them is that none of their work should be wasted," stated Joe Dixon, Product Manager for COADE's Plant Design Solutions. "So, we have made sure that this capability can be applied to new and existing projects without the need for redrawing or remodeling," Dixon added.
CADWorx Plant Professional 2008 also extends capabilities for producing automatic isometrics by giving greater access to ISOGEN's most current tool set. "ISOGEN is a heavily used portion of CADWorx Plant Professional, and our users are always looking to push the envelope," said Anupam Patel, VP of Plant Design Solutions. "We are glad to do what we can to help our users become more productive and more profitable," Patel concluded.
CADWorx Plant Design Suite 2008 takes advantage of many of the features and capabilities of AutoCAD 2008, Autodesk's current release of AutoCAD. The software is compatible with AutoCAD 2005 through 2008.
The CADWorx Plant Professional series for process plant design offers intelligent drawing to database connectivity, advanced levels of automation and easy-to-use design tools. Because of these distinct advantages, it has been rapidly adopted by EPC firms and owner operators in the process, power, water treatment, pharmaceutical, food and beverage and semiconductor industries. CADWorx also offers the industry's first and only true bi-directional links between CAD and engineering analysis tools, linking CADWorx with COADE's industry-leading software programs for pipe (CAESAR II) and pressure vessel and exchanger (PV Elite) analysis and design.
