Service Overview

P&ID Conversion to AutoCAD Plant 3D

Many plants still run on P&IDs that are only lines, blocks and text. They look right, but they hold no data: no line list, no valve list, no link to the 3D model. We convert them into intelligent AutoCAD Plant 3D P&IDs, where every pump, valve, instrument and line is a real Plant 3D object with its class, tag and connections.

Conversion is done with our own in-house conversion tools, built on the Plant 3D P&ID API, together with our engineers. Your symbols and layers are mapped once to Plant 3D classes, so whole drawing sets convert consistently — and every drawing is checked by an engineer before it is issued.

  • Real Plant 3D objectsClasses, tags and connections — not redrawn graphics.
  • Engineer checkedEvery sheet compared with the source before issue.
  • Fast for drawing setsOne symbol mapping reused for every drawing.
  • Reports from day oneLine, valve, equipment and instrument lists straight away.

What We Convert

From legacy drawings to intelligent P&IDs

We take P&IDs in whatever state they are and deliver them as working AutoCAD Plant 3D drawings in your project.

  • AutoCAD P&IDs made of lines, blocks and attributes
  • Scanned or PDF-only P&IDs — redrawn and made intelligent
  • Client symbol legends mapped to Plant 3D classes and styles
  • Tags read from block attributes and text (equipment, valves, instruments, lines)
  • Title blocks and notes kept on the converted sheets
Real Result

Same drawing — now intelligent

This is a real conversion with our tool: a plain AutoCAD P&ID (an Autodesk sample sheet exported to plain AutoCAD) converted back into an intelligent Plant 3D P&ID in under a minute.

  • 76 pipe and signal line runs created as Plant 3D lines
  • 31 pumps, vessels, exchangers, valves and instruments as Plant 3D symbols
  • 27 tags taken from the labels next to the symbols (P-1001, TK-1002, HA-178 …)
  • Instrument type and loop numbers read from block attributes
  • Title block, notes and labels kept on the sheet
  • 0 errors — duplicate tags in the project are reported, never overwritten
How It Works

Mapped once, converted consistently

A clear process keeps large drawing sets consistent and checkable.

  • Survey — we scan your drawings and list every symbol and line type used
  • Mapping — each symbol and layer is matched to a Plant 3D class and style, agreed with you
  • Conversion — lines, symbols and tags are created as Plant 3D objects in your project
  • Engineer check — every sheet compared with the source; tags and connections verified
  • Delivery — Plant 3D P&IDs plus line, valve, equipment and instrument lists
What You Get

P&IDs that work for the whole project

Once the P&IDs are intelligent, the rest of the project can use them directly.

  • Line, valve, equipment and instrument lists from the P&ID database
  • P&ID ↔ 3D consistency checks while the 3D model is built
  • A clean starting point for revamps, HAZOP mark-ups and as-builts
  • Drawings ready for your Plant 3D project and its standards

Reports

Straight into your project lists

Because every symbol is a real Plant 3D object, the converted sheet feeds the project database at once.

  • P&ID equipment, valve, instrument and line lists
  • Excel exports with our Plant 3D Toolkit
  • P&ID ↔ 3D model consistency checks
