In this video, Irene shows you how to export out your Plant 3D drawings to a regular AutoCAD file.
- [Instructor] In the engineering world,…we often have the need to share both our P90…and model files with other people,…whether it's facility managers or third party…engineering companies or contractors.…Some of them may not have the Plant 3D design software,…so we have to convert our drawings…into regular Auto files before they can open them.…Here's where we find the tool to do that.…So I'm going to give you an example.…I'm going to look at our drawings here,…we're going to open up a P90 drawing…and a model drawing just using regular AutoCAD.…So I'm going to switch to regular AutoCAD.…
Now I'm going to come up and I'm going to open the file,…I'm going to go to our desktop, exercise files,…chapter 11, P90 drawing.…Now here's our P90, you can see…in the preview window the P90 is existing.…Just going to say open.…And here's what we're going to get.…We're only going to get text, the actual lines themselves,…because they're not AutoCAD lines,…they're proprietary lines that were created by Plant 3D,…we can't see them without an object enabler.…
