2D DESIGNER Product Features

One of the best things about 2D DESIGNER is that the applications can easily be customized to satisfy each user's drafting and design standards. With Project Manager and Spec Generator you control the settings and define the specs used in each project, while the Bill of Material Settings Manager allows you to manage the projects material effectively and efficiently.

Each 2D DESIGNER application is rich in features that will inevitably make the job of designing more efficient and cost-effective. Through ongoing research and development, the software is continually being improved to ensure our customers benefit from the latest in software technology.

Software features include:

• Ease of use
• Easy installation and flexible licensing
• Standards Manager
• Attention to drawing aesthetics
• Extensive component coverage
• Innovative menu system
• Spec driven piping design
• Material reporting capability

Ease of Use
2D DESIGNER shows its ease of use from the moment you install the software to the instant you start using it. Its user-friendly interface boasts on-line help and informative on-screen messages so you can spend your time producing drawings, not learning the software. By anticipating the way drawings are made, 2D DESIGNER automatically checks for mistakes ensuring a high level of accuracy in your work. Further, the software loads all your project and piping spec information at startup so you can start designing the moment you turn on your computer.

Easy Installation & Flexible Licensing
2D DESIGNER can be installed on a network or individual workstations, with affordable licensing available for either option. The standalone license offers a great value for single users, while the floating licenses offer flexibility and the opportunity to share software among multiple users.

Standards Manager
With this application, you can establish different standards for each customer and/or project to ensure that drawings created for each customer or project are consistent from start to finish. For instance, you can easily specify English or Metric units, layering and color schemes, border drawings, piping specs, scaling factors and dimensioning variables.

Attention to Drawing Aesthetics
By paying special attention to the aesthetics of each symbol and component, 2D DESIGNER ensures you get the best-looking drawings possible. With the Project Manager you can set appearance settings and drafting standards for your entire company, individual customers or specific projects so that work produced by different designers has the same look, scale factor, layer and color.

Extensive Component Coverage
With 2D DESIGNER there's no need to search endlessly for required symbols or components. For every standard used by the applications, such as the ANSI standard, there is a complete library of components readily available as part of your software.

Innovative Menu System
2D DESIGNER's menu system (right) provides quick and easy access to the tools you need and has been shown to be far more efficient than AutoCAD's standard toolbars. The tab menu is visible at all times and contains related groups of components of functions so you can quickly find the commands you need.

Spec Driven Piping Design
Create your own pipe specs with a source database that includes an extensive array of fittings in a wide variety of ratings and materials. To get you started quickly, all piping applications ship with three generic carbon steel ANSI pipe specs for 150#, 300# and 600# ratings. Spec Generator's source database also includes ANSI pipe ratings from 150# to 2500# for sizes ranging from 1/8" to 80" or 3mm to 2000mm.

Material Reporting Capability
2D DESIGNER's material reporting capability helps you manage each project's material reporting effectively and efficiently. Reports can be generated for single 2D drawings, a group of drawings or an entire project. Customize your reports by specifying which materials are to be included or excluded and select whether you want the final output formatted for the Internet, a spreadsheet or a database interface. You can also insert the BOM into an AutoCAD drawing and customize the BOM report fields and format to conform to your company standards.

Attention to model and drawing aesthetics
With special attention paid to the aesthetics of each symbol and component, 3DSMART ensures you get the best-looking drawings possible.

Extensive Component Coverage
With 3DSMART there's no need to search endlessly for required symbols or components. For every standard used by the applications, such as the ANSI standard, there is a complete library of components readily available as part of your software.

Multiple AutoCAD Version Support
To minimize the need to upgrade frequently, 3DSMART works with more than one version of AutoCAD. The latest release, 3DSMART V2007 works with AutoCAD 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.

Innovative Menu System
3DSMART's menu system provides quick and easy access to the tools you need and has been shown to be far more efficient than AutoCAD's standard toolbars. The tab menu keeps tool buttons visible at all times and contains related groups of components of functions so you can quickly find the commands you need.

Comprehensive CAD Functionality
3DSMART is designed to simplify the process of producing 3D models, and each application includes many timesaving features that make modeling less cumbersome and more productive. For instance, 3DSMART automatically produces 2D deliverables, including plans, sections and isometrics. What's more, 3DSMART makes all of AutoCAD's functionality and toolbars available to the user, and it resets the AutoCAD profile when you exit the program so it doesn't interfere with AutoCAD or other third-party programs.

Metric and English Units Support
With 3DSMART you can choose between Metric or English units, or you can even use mixed units when the pipe sizes are set in inches and the drawing units are in metric. Pipe sizes are also available in Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) and Outside Diameter (OD) formats.

Spec Driven Piping Design
Create custom pipe specs with Specification Manager's source database that includes an extensive array of fittings in a wide variety of ratings and materials. To get you started quickly, all piping applications ship with three generic carbon steel ANSI pipe specs for 150#, 300# and 600# ratings. Spec Generator's source database also includes ANSI pipe ratings from 150# to 2500# for sizes ranging from 1/8" to 80" or 3mm to 2000mm.

Rules Driven Piping Design
With Rules Based Connectivity, 3DSMART ensures piping design accuracy while still enabling you to work quickly. When connecting components, the program automatically evaluates many parameters to check piping connection rules are being followed such as pipe size, line number match, pipe rating match and wall thickness match. And in cases where you do need to bend the rules, the program will allow an override but only after an alert is given.

Material Reporting Capability
3DSMART's Bill of Material Generator helps you manage each project's material reporting effectively and efficiently. Reports can be generated for single 3D models, a group of models or an entire project. Customize your reports by specifying which materials are to be included or excluded and select whether you want the final output formatted for the Internet, a spreadsheet or a database interface. You can also insert the BOM into an AutoCAD drawing and customize the BOM report fields and format to conform to your company standards.

3DSMART allows you to open and query 3D models with generic AutoCAD. As long as they have AutoCAD they can view and modify the drawings, ensuring full portability of the designs you've created with 3DSMART.

Automated Isometric Generation
3DSMART uses Alias' ISOGEN or I-GEN software for isometric production. As the industry standard for generating piping isometric drawings, this easy-to-use software utilizes a wizard to guide the user through simple steps needed to generate isometrics and to automatically view the output files in AutoCAD.

Automated 2D Deliverables Generation
With 3DSMART Modeler you can quickly and easily generate 2D plans and sections in AutoCAD format drawings where dimensions and annotations can be added. A wizard simply guides the user to select the limits and area of the model to be represented in the 2D plan or section drawing.
