Nexal® is the single source of truth for process engineering design. It connects the entire design lifecycle — P&IDs, equipment, line lists, datasheets, and procurement — in one live model, so every document reflects the same up-to-date engineering data.

This plugin brings that connected model directly into Autodesk® AutoCAD® Plant 3D™.

Paste a Nexal share code into Plant 3D and the plugin generates a complete, intelligent P&ID — equipment, valves, instruments, tees, pipe runs, sizes, and tags — built to standard, ready to work with. No manual redrawing, no re-keying data from one system into another.

When the design changes in Nexal, Reconcile applies those changes to the existing drawing. New components are added, updates flow through, and your existing work and geometry are preserved — the drawing stays in sync with the model rather than being rebuilt from scratch.

All metadata transfers too. Manufacturer, supplier, model number, and full asset data are written straight into the Plant 3D object properties, so your drawing carries the engineering information — not just the symbols. Supplier data captured later in the project, after procurement, flows into the drawing on the next sync.

WHAT IT DOES:

• Generate — build a complete Plant 3D P&ID from a Nexal share code
• Reconcile — apply the latest Nexal changes to the drawing, geometry preserved
• Metadata — populate object properties with component, asset, and supplier data
• Title Block — drop title block details straight into the sheet

Nexal is a deterministic, standards-based platform built for process industries — water, energy, and infrastructure capital projects.
