, which is installed automatically alongside the main software. This tool extracts metadata directly from your P&ID or 3D piping drawings to create parts lists, bills of materials (BOM), and specification sheets. Micrographics How to Generate a Report Launch Report Creator : Open the program from your Windows Start menu or the AutoCAD Plant 3D toolset Select Project : Use the drop-down menu to open your specific project.xml Choose Configuration : Select a pre-formatted template (e.g., Equipment List ) from the "Report Configuration" list. Data Source : Decide whether to pull data from the entire Project Data or select specific Drawing Data to review the data, or Print/Export
Includes comprehensive catalogs of piping components (valves, fittings, and pipes) based on industry standards like ASME and DIN.
