SW Routing - Tubing, can I get a P&ID from it?
SW Routing - Tubing, can I get a P&ID from it?
(OP)
I was watching a vid online showing some electrical routing in SW and at 1:00 in to the video, he saves his file and selects "Flatten Route" where he can then make a diagram of the electrical ribbon.

I am making a route with tubing, but I cannot select the "Flatten Route" since that option is in the electrical route tab.
Is there some way that I can make my P&ID without having to do it from scratch in AutoCAD?

The real problem is that (although we tend to push SW far beyond what it was originally intended for - machine design) SW just is not a good plant layout tool. There are other pieces of software out there that can link the P&ID to a 3D layout, but you're starting to talk about spending real money there.
