  • Manual annotations, disconnected BOMs, repetitive ISO cleanup, and time-consuming drawing production slow everything down That’s exactly what the ECE Design Worx Plugin suite solves From post processing isometrics (#ISOWorx) to intelligent BOM management (#MTOWorx) and linked annotations (#BUBBLEWorx & #ANNOWorx) From Mechanical and Process to Electrical, our Plugins eliminate repetitive tasks, reduce errors, and keep your deliverables aligned with your 3D model in real time The result? Faster deliverables, better data, and piping designers focused on design, not cleanup If your team is still doing this work manually, let’s change that and talk about how we can take the busy out of your day!

  • Simplify and standardize equipment, piping, electrical, instrumentation, and steel annotations Compatible with AutoCAD® Plant 3D and CADWorx®, ANNOWorx allows users to: ◾Set single or multiline labels from identification, description, specification, location, and other available properties ◾Annotate Line Numbers with or without elevations ◾Append Line Numbers w/ insulation and tracing properties ◾Built-in referencing tools keep orthographic drawings full synchronized and live with the 3D model Looking for a way to to ramp up your design detailing - drop a 👍below to learn more! "When People Talk...Great Things Happen"

  • Why deploy BUBBLEWorx? Compatible with AutoCAD® Plant 3D & CADWorx® 3D Models: ◾Provides identical detailing methods across platforms Effortlessly inserts identification marks, aka bubbles, and BOM tables: ◾Perfect for AutoCAD® mechanical, electrical, and structural steel designers Automates component & weld identification numbering: ◾Take control by setting identifiers by tag, spec, or any other property with customizable bubble styles Tagging components with their Asset Tags on location plan drawings: ◾Inserts Asset Tag with bubbles designed to split hyphenated values into bubble rows, and has provisions for northing, easting, and elevation annotations Uses system-generated numeric identifiers, or master-material marks: ◾An Excel material list with MARK, size, long description, and length can be used to bubble parts within layout drawings Automatically synchronizes bubbles with 3D model changes: ◾One button quality assurance colorizes bubble changes or dissociations Processes AutoCAD® Plant 3D welded joints: ◾Automates weld numbering by property, line number, or selection sets, and includes change controls Compatibility with AutoCAD® Plant 3D Orthographic drawings: ◾Simplifies and expands the part and weld marking options around properties, line numbers, and layer states Integrates with LINKWorx to create smarter bubbles: ◾Hyperlink bubbles to access related data and documentation within SOCKETWorx Curious to learn more?

  • Why should MTOWorx be leveraged? Creates Excel reports for many engineering disciplines: ◾Great for Mechanical, Electrical, and Structural Steel Design teams Supports custom data views that export to Excel and PDF: ◾Output can quickly be set for Single, Cut, and Total user-configured workbook templates Calculates Bill of Material differences, or 'What Changed', over time: ◾Save snapshots and automatically compare to active models to produce Add/Delete sheets in seconds Improve Quality by finding size, description, and part number errors: ◾Improve quality with the SPECWorx parts catalog that validates 3D model parts with deployed specifications Update 3D model properties in bulk: ◾Provisions for descriptions, part numbers, isometric, and many other part attributes. Upload Bill of Materials directly to the web, SOCKETWorx: ◾Access and process bill of materials from a collaborative website Are you currently using AutoCAD® Plant 3D or CADWorx® and curious to learn more?

  • Why should ISOWorx be leveraged? Automated Isometric Generation with Zero Reconfiguration: ◾ISOWorx launches CADWorx® or AutoCAD® Plant 3D iso-batch processors to produce piping isometric drawings using your existing iso styles—no additional setup or customization required. Excel-Driven Title Block Updates: ◾Automatically update drawing title block attributes directly from Excel piping line list workbooks. Drawings are updated in bulk as they advance through ISOWorx stage gates, eliminating manual edits. BOM and Weld Data Export Per Isometric: ◾Generate a companion Bill of Materials (BOM) and weld report for each piping isometric drawing. Files can be exported to XLS or CSV formats to support downstream workflows. Synchronized Editing Between Drawings and Workbooks: ◾Built-in editing tools keep drawing files and Excel workbooks fully synchronized. Line list or border changes can be applied without re-running drawings, saving significant time. Faster Visibility of Design Changes: ◾AutoCAD® drawing attributes upated directly from the Excel line list, dramatically reducing the time required to see updated information on issued isometrics. Batch PDF Publishing with No Setup: ◾Publish large volumes of drawings to PDF with a single operation. Output individual PDFs per drawing or multi-sheet PDFs grouped by line tag—no configuration required. Project-Wide Workflow and Status Tracking: ◾ISOWorx integrates with SOCKETWorx to centralize project worksheets, track drawing status, manage line list changes, and assign work orders—providing visibility into isometric production.

  • Bulk Update AutoCAD® Drawings without opening them Imagine changing the Block Attribute values in a directory full of *.dwg files Now, imagine doing that without opening those drawing files ATTEWorx is a Windows application that reads all attribute values found within a selected directory and puts them into an editable worksheet without opening AutoCAD® files It bulk updates size, color, layer, and all the other attribute properties It also includes a *.dwg file viewer, so users can inspect any changes thereafter Instead of taking my word for it...

  • BUBBLEWorx just got even better for weld mapping; introducing Manual Weld Number Control This new feature was added to speed up targeted Weld numbering and quick corrections without disrupting tables, PDFs, or downstream workflows BUBBLEWorx is built to insert smart bubbles fast, link them to Weld log tables, and keep everything synchronized across AutoCAD® Plant 3D projects ◾Users can now manually assign Weld numbers by clicking Weld bubbles in sequence, starting from a defined Start number and incrementing automatically with each selection; the Weld table updates as numbering progresses ◾Users can also erase selected weld numbers quickly while keeping the rest of the Weld map intact; the Weld table updates immediately after clearing Looking to take your Welds to the next level?

    Creating individual drawings for every piping route is easily accomplished using VIEWWorx Using the piping route name, or line number, VIEWWorx automatically inserts a WORXBox around them They adopt the line number and are listed so users can select one or more to produce detailed drawings that remain connected to the 3D models Orthographic and isometric views are possible because every WORXBox face and every isometric perspective can be placed on templates used to produce drawing files Looking to take the busy out of your day?
