- Contains 335 P&ID symbols in .dwg format and 78 custom line types.
- Symbols conform to ISA Standard 5.1-2009.
- Symbol legend sheets are included.
- Works with metric and imperial drawing units.
- ANSI (A – F) and ISO (A0 – A4) drawing borders included.

- Many symbols are dynamic blocks and can be modified after they’re inserted.
Symbols contain user defined attributes such as manufacturer, model number, size, equipment number, etc.

It’s easy to use:
Once loaded in AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT, “PID Library” will appear in the menu bar.
No need to browse through folders every time you need to insert a symbol. Simply point and click in the menu to choose from a wide range of ANSI/ISA P&ID symbols.
Choose one of two ways to access the library…
P&ID Symbols PulldownAdd a new tab to the Ribbon:
Pick an insertion point in your drawing. Symbols will automatically break the line when inserted.
A window will appear ready for your input. The information you add here is useful for running an attribute or data extraction to create an equipment list.
How it works:
The blue circle grip will rotate the valve and text.
The blue square grip moves the valve size text to make room for an actuator.
About the blocks…
- All symbols are drawn for use with a grid. Easily set the grid and snap by clicking “Drawing setup / Borders” in the menu.
- Each symbol is drawn on layer zero and is set to “byblock”. Byblock allows you to change its color, lineweight, etc. without exploding it.
- Once inserted, the symbols will take on the characteristics of your current layer settings.
