Autodesk Autocad Plant 3D

Coordination in process-plant design involves countless drawings, models, and version updates—keeping everyone on the same page is one of the toughest parts of a project. With the integration between AutoCAD Plant 3D and Newforma Konekt, you bring together your detailed 3D equipment and piping layouts with a unified issue-tracking and collaboration platform. Rather than managing coordination comments in separate spreadsheets or chasing email threads, the integration lets you capture issues directly within your design environment and surface them transparently across the whole team.

Once installed, you can create issues from any given location in your 2D drawing or 3D model in AutoCAD Plant 3D and publish them instantly into Newforma Konekt. This includes automatic viewpoint pinning, location context, attachments, and full syncing across versions of drawings and models—designed to match your version control and coordination cadence. The benefit is clear: less time switching between platforms, fewer missed comments, and more traceable workflows for mechanical, piping, structural, and control system design teams.

By embedding the issue-tracking workflow directly inside the authoring tool, you strengthen both collaboration and accountability. Designers can log items in context, reviewers can follow status updates in Newforma Konekt, and contractors or downstream teams can jump into issues knowing exactly where and what needs to be addressed. The outcome is fewer surprises on site, better design-to-construction handoffs, and improved confidence that your plant models and drawings are fully coordinated.
