Basic Tutorial
The lessons in the Basic Tutorial section guide you through using the tools and commands in
CADWorx P&ID to create a drawing without a database. After you complete all of the lessons in
this section, the finished drawing should resemble the example below.
Even if you intend to use the software with a database, we recommend that you complete
the Basic Tutorial lessons.
When appropriate, a tutorial lesson cross-references a pertinent topic in the CADWorx P&ID
User's Guide so that you can get additional information regarding a specific command or
concept.

page 36), you will place tags on these process lines.
To assign a specification to any CADWorx component, click the CADWorxP&ID tab and
then click Spec Assign in the Size_Spec panel. For more information, see "Spec
Assign" in the CADWorx P&ID User's Guide. You can also use the CADWorx P&ID Setup
dialog box to set the specification to 150-lb so that all process lines drawn are assigned the
specification automatically at placement.
The line number system is explained in the Advanced Tutorial section. Using a line
numbering system requires that you only enter the size and specification of the process line
to automatically generate the tag value.

Advanced Tutorial
The lessons in the Advanced Tutorial section guide you through using the tools and
commands in CADWorx P&ID to create a project using an external database. After you
complete the lessons in this section, your finished drawing should resemble the example below.
Although the drawing layout used for the advanced tutorial lessons is similar to the one used
in the basic tutorial lessons, the two drawings are different. Also, the advanced lessons use
a slightly modified workflow for defining and modifying property data than the one used in
the basic lessons.
Do not store drawings created using an external database in the same folder with drawings
created without an external database.
For more information about any of the commands referenced in the advanced lessons, see
the CADWorx P&ID User's Guide.
