Introduction
The AutoPLANT Plant Design Workgroup V8i (SELECTseries 2) applications are AutoCADBased Spec-driven 3D design tools for piping, equipment, isometric, raceway and steelwork
design.
The applications included in this suite are used for designing, managing and operating industrial
plant facilities of all sizes or complexities. These products integrate with Bentley ProjectWise
and the Process and Instrumentation Workgroup applications to provide seamless integration
between the engineering teams, document management and related business systems
The AutoPLANT Plant Design Workgroup V8i (SELECTseries 2) installer also includes; Bentley
Data Manager and Bentley Vision.
The built-in Microsoft Access reporting engine within Bentley Data Manager quickly generates;
pipe lists, equipment lists, instrument, valve and motor lists plus other essential project specific
reports.
Bentley Vision provides seamless access to plant data and documentation through a single,
easy-to-use interface. Vision's tag number- centric approach to data management puts the
information you need at your fingertips.
Integration with Bentley ProjectWise products provides a managed environment for distributed
engineering.

AutoPLANT Piping
Spec-driven 3D design of piping with advanced routing and editing features. Drawing production
includes orthographics (plans, elevations and sections) using paperspace viewports and
exporting 3D model data to produce finished isometric drawings. Automated Isometric Drawing,
(ISOGEN) - Fully-featured automated isometric drawing production features are including in the
Piping application. No additional licensing is required. In addition to an extensive catalog of
piping components this application can also place 3D pipe supports, instruments, conduit, cable
tray and HVAC components. Please refer to the AutoPLANT Help for more information.

Bentley Data Manager

Bentley Data Manager is a powerful content management tool designed to automate the timeintensive tasks of managing plant data, creating reports and customizing project structures to
meet the project requirements.
Data Manager ensures that data is shared between the project departments and disciplines
ensuring consistency across different project groups.
The built-in Microsoft Access based query and reporting engines allow users to create, edit
and report on project tagged components irrespective of the underlying database type (SQL
Server or ORACLE).
License: This module requires a license.
