“SMC Draw” (from SMC Pneumatics) is a great, free resource for creating
plumbing diagrams if you don’t mind ISO symbols. It’s a little clunky, but
quite a bit better than anything resembling Microsoft Paint. I don’t know that
it will get down to the sort of detail that you want, but it’s what I used to
create the PSAS P&ID, and the price is right.

Subject: [AR] P&ID software
Anyone working with new or better plumbing & instrumentation diagram software?
I'm still stuck in Visio. It can be made to work but is like making part
drawings in Paint.
My ideal software could capture down to the level of fittings and line sizes
and generate a BOM, but still be able to display the system data in a
traditional high-level P&ID format.
I very briefly tried some Autodesk software that was supposed to do it but it
crashed within a minute of opening the program and I didn't give it a second
chance.
