No. These plugins are designed to adapt AutoCAD Plant 3D inherent features. Besides a few one-time setting adjustments (within the confines of AutoCAD-provided features), these plugins will integrate seamlessly with the software and provide you with the necessary GUI for doing your professional work with ease.

These plugins are designed for AutoCAD Plant 3D, so your system must have a compatible version of AutoCAD installed on your system (please consult the corresponding product page to see the compatibility). System requirements are the same as that of AutoCAD Plant 3D so if your system can run the software, our plugins will work fine.

The installer locates the contents folder by reading through the registry file and places the necessary script and library files in the relevant contents folder. It is essential that you have Read/Write access to your Contents folder. By default, this folder is located in <WinRootDir>\AutoCAD Plant 3D 20xx Content.

If you are unable to locate it, then you can acquire the location by one of two methods explained in our blog Where is the CONTENTS folder of AutoCAD Plant 3D. You can also watch the video guide below.

Once your payment is successful, you will be included in our Download Entitlement Group at Autodesk and can simply download the installer file from the Autodesk App Store. The installer will take care of everything for you. It will prompt you for selection of AutoCAD version for which you would like the installation. It shall also detect the previous versions of our plugins and shall remove them before installing the new update.
The downloadable package delivers you the MSI installer which installs and copies necessary files to appropriate folders. Each plugin has its own file list which you can look at relevant plugin page.
The installer comes with a detailed Readme.pdf. It provides the steps to start working with our plugins. Some preliminary settings are required to adjust the AutoCAD Plant 3D environement and these explained in the Readme file and also in our blog Preliminary Settings of AutoCAD Plant 3D.

Make sure you have Tool Pallets displayed in your model space. If not, then type TOOLPALLETTES command and it will pop up docked on the right side of your screen. There you can see all the components in your selected Specs Sheet.

If you already have the Tool Pellet displayed and you cannot see the components or interact with them after importing the Specs Sheet to your project for the first time, simply restart your AutoCAD Plant 3D and it will work just fine. However, before doing that please ensure that you have executed PLANTREGISTERCUSTOMSCRIPTS command.

The installation package comes with a Cable Tray catalog file for both Imperial and Metric Systems. Open this catalog in your Specs Editor for AutoCAD Plant 3D – 20xx. Click on the desired component and switch to the SIZE tab. Here you can introduce the new width size as per your need. Remember the size constraint is from 50mm to 1200mm (i.e. 2” to 48”). To add the size, do the following.

  • Click Add Size
  • Enter the value of Nominal Diameter (which is your new required size)
  • Enter the value for Matching Pipe OD (which is the same as the diameter above)
  • (Optional): Enter the Appropriate text string in the Long Description (Size)
  • Change the Width Parameter to match your required size (entered in Nominal Diameter).
  • Click Save to Catalog

Locate the component named PIPE in the catalog and repeat the above process for the same. Open your desired spec sheet in the Specs Editor tab. Remove the component (for which the size has been changed) and PIPE from the spec sheet. Locate both in the Catalog and add them to the Specs Sheet. This will include updated components in the specs sheet. Click on the component in the specs sheet for which the new size has been added and click the Edit Parts button. In the dialog that opens, locate the Column named Component Designation and input Custom for all entries. Save the specs sheet. Go to your AutoCAD Plant 3D project, select any other specification sheet (other than what you just updated) as active, and then remove the previous version of the spec sheet you just updated. Import the updated version of the specs sheet again in the project and you will see the new size here.
