2D Application Features

PROCAD’s 2D applications are rich with features that enhance every aspect of piping design productivity. Not only are the applications surprisingly affordable, they also make your job easier and your design environment more productive. The following features are included with 2D DESIGNER and PapriCAD 2D.

  • Powered by AutoCAD® OEM for maximum benefits to users accustomed to the industry’s leading CAD software (only with PapriCAD 2D)
  • 2D DESIGNER and PapriCAD save drawings in the highly portable industry standard AutoCAD® DWG file format.  These drawings can be opened and edited by many other CAD software applications, including AutoCAD®
  • A slight learning curve means you can be proficient with the software in just a few hours
  • Every piping application supports both Metric and English units. You also can use mixed Metric & English units and metric drawing units with pipe sizes in inches, and vice-versa
  • Spec driven piping design ensures compliance with customer specs and reduces costly user mistakes. Competent background compliance checking is performed and the user is alerted only when straying from established spec parameters
  • Robust BOM capability is key to effective material managing process. You can generate a Bill of Material (BOM) from a single drawing, a selected set of drawings or from all the drawings in the project
  • Creates BOM files in multiple formats: inserted into a drawing (.dwg format), web format (HTML), Excel format (CSV or .xls) and in text files
  • Standards management tools to ensure customers’ requirements for piping specs, layering, colors and other drafting standards are followed on every project, every time
  • Attention to drafting details resulting in superior aesthetics in finished drawings
  • PapriCAD’s innovative menu system uses the screen efficiently to increase the speed of accessing and selecting components and functions
  • In addition to PapriCAD’s application specific functionality, you have access to complete CAD drafting and editing functionality
  • Flexible installation for network or standalone setups using FlexNet software security
  • Licenses are perpetual and can be upgraded when newer versions are available
  • Extended product cycle eliminates the need for frequent upgrades
  • Extensive library of piping and steel components and symbols
  • Full compatibility between PapriCAD and 2D DESIGNER piping applications allowing you to share drawings, standards, pipe specs and BOM templates without any conversion
