Thank you and hopefully see you at Autodesk University!
OK, let’s be real here. As with all close relationships, our love affair with Plant 3D can also be a kind of love-hate relationship at times. We love the many features of Plant 3D with its quick, powerful and efficient means of enabling us to get-work-done. But at times … it talks back to us, or stops talking all together, or even refuses to do something we specifically asked it to do!
For soothing therapy and further relationship building with P&ID, Plant 3D, or Plant Design Suite, please join us at AUTODESK UNIVERSITY in Las Vegas December 1-3, 2015! There will be numerous classes to nurture or rekindle that loving feeling.
Check out some of these classes to be presented by the authors of this blog:
OG10096 - AutoCAD Plant 3D Success—A Checklist Manifesto
OG11136 - AutoCAD Plant 3D Specs and Catalogs: How to Create "Unbreakable" Project Workflows
OG10333-L - Behind the Face—Tips and Tricks in AutoCAD Plant 3D
OG10910 - Beyond Out-of-the-Box Customization for AutoCAD P&ID

Need some help convincing the boss to send you? Here's some help with that.
Hope to see you there! Sign up early for the classes you want while there are still (therapy) seats available!
Happy New Year and welcome back! We here at "In The Pipes" have just completed our annual "week of rest" at Autodesk and are looking forward to an exciting year ahead sharing tips and tricks here with you on the blog. The first tip I'd like to share was actually part of a class I taught at Autodesk University last month and involves setting up Navisworks to view data from Plant 3D or P&ID that has been exported out using Data Manager to an Excel spreadsheet.
The Screencast video below shows the basic procedure for using Navisworks' DataTools to create this connection: https://screencast.autodesk.com/Embed/Timeline/1d1469ec-d712-4e19-9f52-d3df73c5adca. Login to Screencast using your single sign-on Autodesk login name and password. If you don't already have an Autodesk login, you can register on the Screencast site and instantly have access to all of the free video content on the site.
If you are interested in viewing the complete class, titled "PD5816-P : Plant Design Suite Ultimate Data and Modeling Tips from Technical Support", you can access it via Autodesk University Online at the link below: http://au.autodesk.com/au-online/classes-on-demand/class-catalog/2014/autocad-plant-3d/pd5816-p
We hope you have a productive and successful 2015 and that you visit here regularly to get the latest AutoCAD Plant 3D and P&ID news!
Yay! I'm back at Autodesk University here in lovely Las Vegas, Nevada! :-)
I missed it last year, since 8+ months pregnant is not a good look for Vegas. But I'm back!!! I just got here, and already feel like I've missed a lot - my twitter feed had been blowing up with reports from the Innovation Forums, Grey Matter Smackdown, and the buzz around the Autodesk's 123D line.
This year I'm speaking in just one class "Meet the Plant Team". I plan to do a quick retrospective and overview of our Plant Solutions plans, then roll into open audience Q/A session. I will have a couple fellow Autodeskers on the Panel, and we are honored to be moderated by none other than Dave Tyner from davetyner.com. If you are here at AU2011, I do hope you'll come - PD5258 Wednesday 3PM in Marcello 4506. Come with your hard questions!
Ok, I'm off to the first reception of the night. AEC Mixer, here I come.
Another Autodesk University in the books. It is the Wednesday after and I *think* I’ve recovered. I’ve spent the last few days thinking about all the events and trying to digest the experience. My sources indicate 9000+ participants all told. As always there was so much going on that I regret not being able to attend more sessions and functions. In particular, I regret missing Pete Kelsey’s Pecha Kucha talk about Easter Island and sustainability. I’ve always thought Easter Island is an interesting and special place, and enjoy learning more about it. Maybe Pete will attend Daratech again this year and I can grill him about it in person.
Each year AU just seems to get better and better. This year I both remembered not to Karaoke and also to escape the admittedly impressive fake Venetian sky in the casino mall to see the real Vegas sky a time or two. (Yes, I know Venice isn't in Tuscany. Hush.) And I also remembered to eat before the social events. Woohooo! Well, at least I remembered to eat most nights. Wednesday is pretty much a blur – hanging out at the booth, teaching Intro to P&ID to a packed room, attending the equally packed Preview of AutoCAD Plant 3D class, and that awesome Plant Cocktail Reception – I don’t recall if I ate or not! Despite the blur, I do have lots of photos of everyone cutting loose – so be nice to me or I’ll post them. (Aceri, can you lose that photo of me in the wizard hat please?)
We gave out 3000 Plant Solutions T-Shirts – 3 designs were all a big hit -- designed by our favorite designer-comic-artist Damian. My favorite is the Nice Tee one on the right. I’m going to go on pretending that everyone loved the shirts because they love Autodesk Plant Solutions, not just because they were free. I showed a bunch of people how to apply the Plant temporary tattoo (quality stuff - mine still hasn't come off.) We met lots of great folks and got a lot of great feedback. Mostly the feedback was “Nice work! We’d like more more more.”
I did get some comments encouraging me on my blogging, which is always nice to hear. My very first posts were from AU last year. It is nice to know people are still reading! I sometimes forget that features I’ve been seeing day in and day out for a year may be new to y’all, so I plan to make an effort to introduce more bit and pieces of the functionality in the future. Stay tuned . . .
