The following are some key features of LTPLANT IE:

AUTOCAD LT ® FUNCTIONALITY
Finally an automated product for AutoCAD LT ®. No add on or supplementary programs and no lisp extenders. Pure, native DIESEL. Menu integral coding means no problematic IT management issues. Many automated routines improve drawing efficiency.

AUTOMATIC LINE CUT
Most symbols automatically cut the line they are inserted on.

BOM DATA EXTRACTION
The data on each drawing can be extracted to compile a B.O.M. The data can be maintained so that even as time progresses, project oriented B.O.M.'s can be generated from existing drawings.

MENU ITEM RECALL
After inserting a symbol, automatic recall of the most appropriate symbol image menu can be enabled to reduce keystrokes and speed up drafting. Cross-menu linking between key menus means the most appropriate menu is only a keystroke away.

COMPREHENSIVE EQUIPMENT DATABASES
Common equipment ratings are supplied to make the input of data easier.

SCHEMATICS
Schematic symbol orientation (vertical or horizontal) is easily selectable along with symbol form (1 or 2).
Three phase symbols automatically spaced to suit user selected 3-phase power rail.
A wire number system made up of a wire number containing prefix, number and suffix. The number can be incremented automatically or held static. The wire data can be extracted for generation of wire ferrules by a markers specialist.
A wide range of terminals are provided with automatic terminal number increment.
There are more than 150 schematic symbols available for use.

ELECTRONICS
More than 25 symbols available either passive or semiconductor related for the creation of electronics diagrams.

SINGLE LINES
There are more than 60 single line symbols available for use.

LOOPS
Automatic loop generation from instrument function databases. For each loop, the instrument function only needs to be entered once for all parts of the loop and more than 25 loop symbols available for use. Continuation mode selection means that you can create a complete loop within minutes.

LAYOUTS
With more than 75 symbols available and automatic scaling on insertion.
