Intergraph Smartplant Spoolgen Better Upd -

Intergraph SmartPlant Spoolgen (now Hexagon Spoolgen) is widely considered "better" than manual or CAD-based spooling because it automates the creation of piping fabrication drawings directly from engineering data. By reusing existing 3D design files (like PCF or IDF), it eliminates the need to manually redraw isometrics, which often accounts for a 95% reduction in manual data entry. Key Advantages for Fabrication

: Users can add weld types, modify elbows to bends, and insert fabricator-specific information, though core dimensions and components cannot be deleted. : Generates customized spool sheet drawings in AutoCAD (.dxf) MicroStation (.dgn) formats, along with material and welding lists. 2.

13. Advanced Tips & Tricks

• Prefer splitting by flange/butt-welds to minimize field work.
• Use weight and dimension constraints to keep spools safe for transport.
• Maintain a central library of common spool templates and reusable spool assemblies.
• Capture shop feedback in an issues log and iterate split rules monthly on large projects.
