AutoCAD Plant 3D

[#1]

Now that the launch of the new Autodesk Plant Design Suite 2013 (along with a whole lot of other Autodesk products) is public, I thought you'd find it helpful to get a high-level overview of the new features in both AutoCAD P&ID 2013 and AutoCAD Plant 3D 2013.

P&ID Features

Improved how P&ID components move and stretch to meet a designers expectations. You now have a live preview reporting results before you finalize a stretch or move command.

downloading the plant design suite testdrive dataset.zip. I have attempted to do this on two different machines and all fail, with a invalid file type message. I'm attempting to evaluate this software and using the dataset would assist as I'm the 30 day count down. can you get me a working dataset? or fix the upload zip file?

Hi there. Can you private message me with your email address? I'll try to find an alternative way to get you the files.

Thanks,

Eileen
