It gives EPCs and O/Os MicroStation and AutoCAD data. By maintaining MicroStation a competitive edge throughout the plant life cycle by speeding and AutoCAD element symbology, you can augment schematic productivity, cutting costs, and offering a sophisticated degree of workflows where expensive and high-powered CAD is impracti- automation for detail work. As an interlocking piece of Intergraph’s cal. SmartSketch supports DWG, DXF, and DGN data formats best-in-class life-cycle solution, SmartSketch is a premium tool to protect your investment in legacy data. You can write to PDF for the drawing generation tasks inherent in your work process. You can also use SmartSketch to support Smart 3D drawing production and editing. Fit Your Work Process SmartSketch reduces costs to EPCs and plant owners in three Automate Production Designs and Drawings ways. First, SmartSketch provides advanced design and draft- SmartSketch provides powerful features such as parametrics ing functionality at a fraction of the cost of traditional drafting and relationships that enable execution of design changes packages. Second, SmartSketch easily integrates with corporate quickly and efficiently. SmartSketch automatically creates and information, such as spreadsheets and other office tools, through maintains relationships between geometric elements and sup- its automation layer. Further, SmartSketch can be customized ports parametric graphics. For example, a baseline design can through programming to address your specific workflow. be made customer-specific by driving it from an external data Finally, features that allow you to reuse data templates and source such as a spreadsheet that holds the dimensions for the easily update drawings help you avoid inconsistencies in your specific case.

Add Value Throughout Your Plant SmartSketch adds value throughout the entire plant by offer- Using SmartSketch, engineers and designers can create prelimi- ing full functionality for all phases of the life cycle. For example, nary designs that draftsmen can easily detail and finalize, without SmartSketch can be used by engineering personnel in disci- the costly errors that frequently occur from misreading hand-drawn plines such as process design, power, electrical, structural, sketches. In addition, industry solutions in SmartSketch supply task- and application-specific templates that set up appropriate units, drawing scales, borders, title blocks, toolbars, and more than 7,500 symbols specific to your discipline’s work environment. Templates for the process, power, and marine industries include those for process flow and block diagrams, electrical schematics, and plot plans. During front-end engineering and design (FEED), you can sketch conceptual and preliminary drawings quickly and accurately. Process-, power-, and marine-specific solutions allow you to easily draft site layouts, preliminary process flow diagrams (PFDs), and single-line diagrams and schematics.

SmartSketch provides tools to rapidly produce and mark up Microsoft Office-compatible: Insert and combine graphics structural, piping, and cable tray details, installation details, with Microsoft Office files. electrical and instrumentation schematics, and other drawings. Such functionality is valuable in the entire process, from design to construction, maintenance, and decommissioning. SmartSketch helps to avoid and/or automatically update design Engineering task templates: Take advantage of symbol libraries and templates used by the various engineering disciplines, such as HVAC,...
