Product description

MB DEXPI Viewer is a visualization tool for piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) in DEXPI format. It is a desktop application that offers P&IDs visualization interfaces as well as views to inspect the diagram elements’ properties and their connections.

 

Functional description
