SmartSketch is a powerful program for Windows which integrates business diagramming with drawing technology. Basically, it empowers EPCs and owner operators to gain a competitive edge throughout the plant life cycle.

Data formats and templates

The application allows you to reference, combine, edit, and generate MicroStation and AutoCAD data. By preserving their element symbology, it becomes possible to enhance schematic workflows. There is support for DWG, DXF, and DGN data formats. You can also save files with PDF extension.

With this tool, you can develop preliminary designs for future detailing and finalization. You may benefit from task specific templates, tailored to set up appropriate units, drawing scales, borders, title blocks, and more. Among them you can find presets for the process, power, and marine industries.

Production automation

The software offers robust features like parametrics and relationships, facilitating rapid execution of design changes. It automatically establishes and manages connections between geometric elements while supporting parametric graphics.

For instance, you can customize a baseline design to match customer specifications by linking it to an external data source, such as spreadsheet. This enables the drawing to update within seconds. If you want to create PCB designs, you may try a program called KiCad.
