Industrial piping system with CAD drawing overlay — progeCAD piping design

progeCAD Professional

Professional piping CAD software — P&ID, layouts & isometrics.

progeCAD is professional piping CAD software that runs every AutoCAD piping and P&ID workflow you already know — same commands, same DWG files, same symbols. One-time .

P&ID schematics

Draft process and instrumentation diagrams with standard symbol libraries — valves, instruments, pumps, vessels, heat exchangers, and control elements. Full DIN/ISO/ISA symbol support. Compatible with AutoCAD P&ID files.

Piping layout & plan drawings

Design above-ground and underground piping in plan view — pipe routing, support locations, tie-in points, and nozzle orientations. Full layer management for process, utility, and firewater systems.

Isometric drawings

Produce piping isometrics in progeCAD's 2D isometric drawing mode — 30° isometric snap, isometric ellipses for pipe sections, and standard iso line conventions. Draw pipe runs, fittings, and supports in isometric projection.

3D piping models

Build 3D pipe routing models using ACIS solid modeling — cylinders, bends, and fittings. Generate plan and elevation views from the 3D model. Export to STL or 3D PDF for clash detection and presentation.

22,000+ blocks & symbols

Extensive library of piping symbols, valves, instruments, flanges, and process equipment blocks — included free. Covers DIN, EN, ISO, and ISA standards. Drop in standard elements and reuse across projects.

Native DWG compatibility

Open, edit, and save DWG files from AutoCAD 2.5 through the latest version. Share drawings with clients, EPCs, and contractors on AutoCAD with no conversion, no rework, no data loss.

AutoLISP & API automation

Automate line numbering, pipe spec callouts, spool sheet generation, and drawing index updates. Most existing AutoCAD Lisp routines run without modification.

PDF import & export

Import vendor-supplied PDFs as editable DWG geometry to use as base drawings or reference overlays. Export drawing packages to PDF with full layer and pen table control.

Bill of materials export

Extract pipe quantities, fitting counts, and material takeoffs directly from your drawings. Export BOM data to spreadsheet for procurement, fabrication, and project cost tracking.

progeBILLD Piping

Intelligent pipe fittings, auto-routed isometrics, and automatic BOM export.

progeBILLD requires progeCAD Professional — sold separately for

progeBILLD's HVAC/Piping module adds a library of intelligent pipe fittings, flanges, and components that insert with correct geometry, auto-route isometric views, and feed directly into a bill of materials.

Intelligent pipe fittings

Elbows, T-pieces, reducers, caps, and flanges insert at correct geometry automatically. Select the nominal diameter and standard — the fitting is placed and annotated without manual sizing or scaling.

Auto-generated isometrics

Generate isometric views from piping layouts with symbol placement handled automatically — including standard iso conventions for elbows, flanges, and valves. Dramatically reduces manual iso drafting time.

Flanges & dished ends

Parametric flange library — slip-on, weld neck, blind, socket weld, and threaded types to DIN/EN/ANSI standards. Dished ends and pressure vessel heads with configurable diameter, thickness, and knuckle radius.

Automatic BOM

Every inserted fitting, flange, and component rolls into a live bill of materials. Export to PDF, XLS, or CSV per spool or across the full job — no manual count, no transcription risk.

DIN / EN / ANSI / ISO standards

Switch between international piping standards within the same library — geometry, wall thickness, and face dimensions update automatically. Single tool for both metric and imperial projects.

Manufacturer libraries

Insert components directly from manufacturer product catalogues — correct dimensions and part numbers, ready for procurement. Eliminates manual lookup and spec verification errors.

Add-on · Requires progeCAD Professional
progeBILLD — HVAC Module

Intelligent fittings, auto-generated isometrics, flanges, and full manufacturer library integration — all inside progeCAD. Designed for process, oil & gas, water treatment, and industrial piping drafters.

Frequently asked questions

Does progeBILLD support piping and P&ID drawings?

progeBILLD Piping is practical piping CAD software for P&ID drafting and process piping work — it handles drawings natively in DWG format, fully compatible with AutoCAD P&ID files. It supports standard line weights, block libraries, and 2D orthographic piping layouts. The one-time license is $540, compared to $2,095/year for AutoCAD Plant 3D.

Can progeBILLD produce piping isometrics?

Yes. progeBILLD Piping generates isometric views from your piping layouts automatically — symbol placement is handled for you, including standard iso conventions for elbows, flanges, and valves. The underlying progeCAD engine also provides a 2D isometric drawing mode with 30-degree snap and isometric ellipses for manual isometric work.

Which piping standards and symbol libraries are included?

progeBILLD Piping includes an extensive library of piping symbols, valves, instruments, flanges, and process equipment covering DIN, EN, ISO, and ISA standards. It also includes a parametric flange library — slip-on, weld neck, blind, socket weld, and threaded types to DIN, EN, and ANSI standards — plus dished ends and pressure vessel heads. You can switch between metric and imperial standards within the same library and have geometry, wall thickness, and face dimensions update automatically.

Is progeBILLD an alternative to AutoCAD Plant 3D?

For P&ID schematics, piping plan drawings, and isometrics it is a practical alternative at a one-time price. progeBILLD also builds 3D pipe routing models using ACIS solid modeling, and can generate plan and elevation views from them or export to STL and 3D PDF. What it is not is a spec-driven parametric plant modeling environment — progeBILLD does not carry a live piping specification database that validates component selection the way Plant 3D does. For drafting-led piping work it fits well; for fully spec-driven 3D plant design it does not replace Plant 3D.
