hi friends
i work in a oil company , we do drawings of plant piping -plans,cross sections & isometrics views for Gathering Centers , booster stations , manifolds ,etc. all our work is connected with piping ,pipe size used in plant are from 3/4" to 60".we have different type of valves e.g. ball,gate,globe,plug,check valves etc.we have different type of pipe supports e.g. anchor,sliding,spring supports etc. material used is carbon steel , rtrp etc .we have different type of equipment like tanks ,separators, heat exchangers , compressors etc . we also make P&I.D.(piping & instrumentation diagram ) drawings for above mentioned facilities . Till now we are using vanilla AutoCAD to make this drawings , my question was that will it be advisable to move to ABS-2007. whatever little knowledge i have i think ABS-2007 is mostly suited for making civil , electrical & plumbing drawings for making Building your expert opinion on this subject will be highly appreciated.or shall we look for other software's like PDMS by aviva , PDS by intergraph & Cadworx by coade.....please help to solve this dilemma
thanks
