I suspect most folk would not buy these "enhanced" tools if they really understook what could be done using the basic Smartsketch. Bolt-ons like smartplant P&ID make an extremely good, simple and productive tool into something extremely complicated and very cumbersome requiring a dedicated team of experienced operators - as different to Smartsketch as you could possibly be. However, I would avoid the latter by a country mile unless you have an extremely large budget (time AND money), are a glutton for punishment and are forced to use it by others. ![]() Smartsketch is the core drafting programme for smartplant P&ID, etc. It is three-dimensional in that it shows both horizontal and vertical planes. (AutoCAD is my CAD tool of choice for traditional engineering drafting although there is a big overlap in the 2D). The spool drawing is an isometric drawing rather than an orthographic drawing. ![]() Its has a many novel and very productive features compared with AutoCAD including some that are especially useful for drawing isometrics, P&IDs etc. Its not free but IMO its the best tool for the job and one of the best 2D drafting programmes for both engineering drawing and non-scale "sketching" such as isometrics and P&IDs. The best CAD software for "manual" (rather than automated) drawing of isometrics is Smartsketch. ![]()
