The first licenses of the software were acquired in 1996, and used ever since in our company and by our external suppliers for the development of the process diagrams P&ID and for the creation of the isometric drawings in combination with the software Puma for the piping materials management. As a result all the companies involved in the project were mandatory required use ESApro Isometrics interfaced with Puma for the realization of isometric drawings and material lists compatible with the company ERP. Except for that Fisia Italimpianti allowed its suppliers to freely operate according to their own preferences, requiring just the classic 2D orthographic views in DWG format as project documents”.
