Automatic Fabrication Drawing Generation Add-in for Pipe Supports Add-in for Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D

From Model Directly to Fabrication Drawings.

Turn Design Data Directly into “Field Value”

Support Fab — Fabrication drawing auto-generation add-in running on Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D
UI shown is under development and may change upon official release.

A seamless workflow from Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D
to fabrication drawings.

No need for re-entry into generic CAD, or BOM creation in Excel. Fully automates fabrication drawing creation for pipe supports, and delivers design data to the field without loss.

The Problem

Challenges Solved by ASPO.

  1. Support fabrication drawings rely on manual work (2D CAD / Excel).

  2. Drawing quality varies per individual, leading to frequent errors.

  3. Model information is lost during drawing creation (re-entry and transcription).

  4. Repeated rework caused by design changes.

Data becomes unstructured and fragmented during the construction drawing phase.

— Design consistency is lost during construction.
The Impact

From 30 min to 5 min per drawing.

Before-and-after comparison from large-scale plant projects (estimated 1,000 support drawings).

Drawing Time per Sheet
30min → 5min
▲ Approx. 83% Reduction
Workload Reduction per Project (1,000 drawings)
Approx.417hrs
Reduced
Cost Reduction per Project

Reduced
01

Elimination of human errors

02

Instant response to design changes (model integration)

03

Standardized drawing quality

04

Ensured traceability

* Based on in-house research. Automatic synchronization during design changes further reduces rework costs.

Features

Features

Support Fab consists of 4 core features dedicated to automating fabrication drawing generation for pipe supports.

01

Auto Fabrication Drawing Generation DWG

Directly outputs fabrication drawings (DWG) from Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D models without intermediate files.

02

ISO Representation of Custom Supports

Correctly reflects company-standard custom supports in ISO drawings, eliminating variation due to individual skills.

03

Supports Various Support Types

Supports shoes, clamp shoes, guides, stoppers, trunnions, pads, and U-bolts, with more types coming soon.

04

Model Integration (Maintaining SSOT)

Keeps models and drawings synchronized at all times, maintaining a Single Source of Truth and eliminating inconsistencies.
