Isometric Piping Layouts [Software?]

Isometric Piping Layouts [Software?]

Isometric Piping Layouts [Software?]

(OP)
Hello All,
I'm currently drawing up isometric piping layouts for a plant relocation. I feel like there should be a simple CAD solution to this to make things a lot more "professional" looking, and make it easier to modify layouts. Does such a software exist, that is preferably free? I was tempted by Google Sketchup, but I wasnt sure if I could generate drawings based on 3-d piping models. We primarily use Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0, but I'd like to avoid purchasing any modules for it, especially since our primary business isn't piping so there really isn't reason to spend money on it.
Thank you!

PDMS, Bentley AutoPlant, Autodesk Plant 3D, HiCAD
They all make isometrics, I think using ISOgen. The list goes on .. and I may have forgotten the biggest pro-indrustrial packages.
These are all complete 3D plant modelling packages (incl. structural etc). Im not sure on any (free) software packages for isometrics only.
What would be the soruce for your input/routing?

RE: Isometric Piping Layouts [Software?]

There is no free package what is good enough.
What is the matter with good looking hand drafted piping plans and isometrics?
