Visio seems to be the standard at most places. The auto-bom is possible,
but requires a lot of care in part library managment.
Eplant is a possible alternitive

“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.

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.
