Data Validator
Compare selected properties using matching keys. The result list helps you locate differences that need a decision.
You remain in control of the correction. A matching value alone does not establish that the source data is correct.
The free ACC Bridge browser extension brings the fields you choose into ACC Model Coordination, ACC Docs and Autodesk Viewer. Follow a matching component into your interactive P&ID or Plant 3D.
Browser features are free.

contact@rkcadtools.com ↗Yes. RKCadTools is a Windows plugin with its own ribbon tab inside AutoCAD Plant 3D. The individual tools specify whether they apply to P&ID, 3D Piping or other drawing workflows.
Some workflows work from the current selection or project data. Others need mappings, comparison keys, profiles or title-block configuration. The feature pages and guides explain the requirements for each tool.
Data Manager lets you review pending edits, Data Bridge provides a sync preview, and Data Validator reports issues for review. Optional Data Bridge automation can apply mapped values without a preview, so review the configuration before enabling it.
The trial does not convert into a paid subscription automatically. To continue with the licensed plugin, choose an annual per-seat subscription. View current pricing and licence details.
ACC Bridge browser features are free. Navigation from the browser into Plant 3D requires RKCadTools with a valid licence. Other free CAD administration tools are available separately on the website.
