Enhanced Documentation
Enhanced documentation features help you to create, rationalize, and document 2D views. Create 3D models in AutoCAD MEP design software and convert to 2D for documentation needs. Utilize improvements in the command line with the ability to auto-complete and differentiate commands and system variables. Improve the appearance of your documentation with access to a diverse palette of fonts and colors. Improve drafting and modeling productivity with associative arrays improvements.
Integrated Content Search
Search for and access design files, objects, and content from within AutoCAD MEP design software more quickly with the AutoCAD Content Explorer. Easily search local and network drives for files containing content and objects to use within the design environment.
Convert AutoCAD Blocks & Symbols to AutoCAD MEP Content
Individually convert or batch-convert single or multiple AutoCAD blocks, MvBlocks, or MvParts to a device or schematic symbol. Extrude standard 2D blocks to create a 3D solid, and then add connectors to create AutoCAD MEP design software content for your MEP designs. In addition, convert your AutoCAD blocks to orthographic symbols, as well as isometric symbols to facilitate your schematic design documentation.
Project Navigator—Drawing Management
Manage project drawings more easily by creating coordinated views based on design parameters. Create and manage project drawing sheet sets for all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) construction documents. MEP design team members can access a centralized project directory of the most current documents, from project templates to sections and elevations.
Pipe Content and Routing Preferences
Routing Preferences inside the application can be used with sloped piping and Male x Female Routing. These Routing Preferences take advantage of specific piping content created for AutoCAD MEP design software. Routing Preferences support the use of male x female fittings to create more realistic pipe designs.
