Mech-Q Piping is an add-on for AutoCAD. It is also available within our CAD standalone called AViCAD. It’s a comprehensive Piping drawing module for drawing simple and complex piping systems. Choose from a wide assortment of 2D. Iso and 3D pipe, fittings, flanges and valves + BOM.
If you’re in the Piping industry, and you need an affordable and easy way to speed things up – then Mech-Q is an excellent choice.
Why?
Here’s what makes Mech-Q the clear winner when comparing it to other over-priced, clunky and hard to learn piping software.
5 Reasons To Choose Mech-Q Piping:
1. Simplicity – Mech-Q offers a near Zero learning curve. Mech-Q provides the most easiest transition into automated Mechanical drafting. Really, try it and see for yourself just how easy it is.
2. Affordability – Mech-Q is easy on your wallet. Why spend thousands more on software when you can get the same job done with Mech-Q? It’s really got everything you’ll need, built right into the software.
3. Quality – Mech-Q makes you look great. You’ll produce professional looking drawings with little or no effort. And your clients will never know it…
4. Accessibility – Mech-Q is filled to the brim with power. You’ll find hundreds of exclusive tools and functions throughout the Suite. It’s not just a Engineering Tool. We’ve also included drafting routines, beam calculators and many more utilities all organized and ready to use.

Pipe & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)
The module covers all the required symbology to generate drawings with intelligent data. This application covers the standard Piping and Instrumentation symbology outlined in the ANSI/ISA-S5.1-1986 code. However you can also add new symbols of your choice and the utility gives you full control of all the symbols sizes, layers, fonts and the data associated with the valves, equipment and instruments used. The program also lets you add your own symbols with ease.
The P&ID components have been split in categories for easy selection:
Pipe & Fittings
Equipment
Valves
Instrument Equipment
Instrument Balloons Symbols & Tags
Functions Blocks
Miscellaneous
You can change application settings using the P&ID Configuration (CFG) – Settings. For example, you can have the program change from Flanged valves to Socket Welded valves at a predetermined “small” size.
Some of the Main Features are:
Easy to use
Large range of symbols included and others can be added with ease.
