Using Data Manager in AutoCAD Plant 3D 2020

Plant 3D Data Manager was developed for project team members who use plant project data in their daily workflows. With AutoCAD P&ID and AutoCAD Plant 3D, project teams can only access and modify project data through the Autodesk applications which typically require workstation-grade machines to run on. Plant 3D Data Manager is a stand-alone application that enables access to and control of plant project data from standard desktop and laptop computers that do not have AutoCAD plant products installed.

With Plant 3D Data Manager, project engineers, process engineers, instrumentation engineers, and designers can access plant project data in an intuitive tabular user interface. Plant 3D Data Manager allows multiple users to edit project data even while the drawings containing the data are open in production.

Until now users of AutoCAD P&ID and AutoCAD Plant 3D could only capture data for objects placed in drawings or into a model. A key new feature of Plant 3D Data Manager is the capacity to create non-placed objects or NPOs. NPOs enable project teams to create and manage, from the Plant 3D Data Manager interface, plant projects components that are typically not represented by graphics or 3D components.

Also, because NPOs can be converted into P&ID or Plant 3D objects, project teams can pre-populate project components into the plant project database even before creating P&ID graphics or 3D models.

Extending the functionality of AutoCAD P&ID and Plant 3D further, Plant 3D Data Manager also allows users to define and create relationships between plant project objects. Relationships can be defined between graphical objects, between graphical objects and NPOs, or between NPOs.

Plant 3D Data Manager significantly extends the native data handling capabilities of AutoCAD P&ID and AutoCAD Plant 3D, providing increased flexibility and functionality of your plant design workflows.
