How do I integrate SmartSketch with SmartPlant P&ID?
SmartSketch is considered a “document-centric” application – by default, SmartSketch drawings have no links to any external databases without the use of utilities to create them. On the other hand, SmartPlant P&ID is considered a “data-centric” application, linked to an external database. As such, you can reference a SmartSketch schematic (such as a preliminary P&ID) in SmartPlant P&ID, and use it as a template to create a new P&ID that has all the data managed in a database, such as Oracle. The utility to import (one way) preliminary P&IDs from SmartSketch into SmartPlant P&ID is included with the SmartPlant P&ID application.
