"It was very user-friendly tool for a Piping Engineers"
5/5
What do you like best about Octave Forte 3DWorx?

CADWorx is very easy to use for a AutoCAD user. Same like comment and tool bars.

We can use auto routing options for piping. Easy to generate ISO and BOM.

It's really faster and reducing our timing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Forte 3DWorx?

I feel some time number training materials not easy to find. Structural modelling tools need to improve.

I can't say anything more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Professional Working with CADWorx"
5/5
What do you like best about Octave Forte 3DWorx?

CADWorx has a very user friendly environment which makes professional working very simple and easy to execute. When doing Plant Engineering, CADWorx comes in very handy when implementing PIDs into 2D Layouts and 3D Modelling of piping system. Reviewing activity is made easier when all piping items can be isolated in a complex piping system. CADWorx can be integrated in other modelling softwares such as Navisworks, Caesar II etc. which makes it a team player for any organization. Sectional details of the model can also be made clear with the help of right tools defined in Cadworx. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Forte 3DWorx?

CADWorx should improve Isometric generation of piping model because usually there are continuation mistakes and connectivity issues with the software. During Isometric generation the number of piping components are usually scrambled and its takes a lot of manual working to properly align the Isometrics in order with the 3D Model.

"CADworx is one of the best software one must have."
5/5
What do you like best about Octave Forte 3DWorx?

it's the software in my view to design and to work on. CADWorx is easy to use because the software is AutoCAD based and utilizes exactly the same command structure and methodology with which all AutoCAD users are already familiar. This, along with the intuitive workflow of CADWorx, assures that the large base of trained AutoCAD users can become productive within days of first encountering the product. Likewise, the large set of template specifications and component databases shipped with the product, coupled with the product’s smooth 2D to 3D transition, database flexibility, and easy on-the-fly customization (no programming required) allows even the most casual users to easily and quickly ensure that CADWorx works exactly the way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I found CADWORX very helpful for easy pipe routing and BOQ"
5/5
What do you like best about Octave Forte 3DWorx?

I am not using full facilities provided in CADWORX. But I liked auto routing, auto isometric drawings with full BOQ and cut length and weld now. It is very helpful for time, labour and cost estimation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Forte 3DWorx?

I added 5D bends for my Oil & Gas (underground 12" & 10" pipelines) project. It was very helpful but a lengthy process to add new items in the library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
