Duration
AutoCAD Plant 3D Design Essential Training
3 days
Overview
AutoCAD Plant 3D Design Essential Training is designed to give you a solid understanding on the features and capabilities of AutoCAD Plant 3D software. In this course you will learn from generating 2D drawing from 3D modelling, creating Projects and P&IDs to Isometric Drawings, Creating an Orthographic Drawing and Working with the Data and Report Creator.
You will also learn how to use the AutoCAD Plant 3D software to complete a Plant design project including P&ID. The training guide provides a comprehensive overview that includes all common workflows for plant design plus a focus on project setup and administration.
Objective
Through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum, students will acquire the knowledge needed to create a plant design project, using P&ID features and essential skill to work on AutoCAD Plant 3D software.
