Plant 3D toolset is included with AutoCAD 2025

Create and edit P&IDs and 3D models, and extract piping orthographics and isometrics with an industry-specific toolset for plant design. With the Plant 3D toolset, you can:

  • Collaborate securely in a cloud-based common data environment  

  • Speed up and automate P&ID drafting and 3D modelling with in-context commands  

  • Automatically create piping isometric drawings directly from the 3D model

Plant 3D toolset features

Collaboration & P&IDs

Collaboration for Plant 3D

Collaborate on plant design models across project teams and maintain compliance requirements – all in a cloud-based common data environment.


Quick P&ID drafting

Use in-context AutoCAD commands to make P&ID drafting easier. (video: 58 secs)


Industry-standard symbol libraries

The Plant 3D toolset is delivered with standard symbol libraries in the tool palettes. These include PIP, ISA, ISO/DIN and JIS.


Data validation

Quickly identify possible errors by scanning P&IDs for data consistency according to user-definable rules.


Benefits of the Plant 3D toolset

In this study, the Plant 3D toolset boosted productivity by up to 74%,* bringing significant time savings to common AutoCAD process plant design tasks.
