MEP



Drat. Design. Deliver

Benet rom greater drating productivity, better

accuracy, and design coordination opportunities.

MEP designers and draters are spending too much

time on repetitive tasks. Autodesk oers a broad

suite o solutions to help MEP proessionals stayahead o the competition and remain competitive.

With AutoCAD MEP, production o construction

documents is automated, helping to save time and

allowing or the creation o single-line and double-

line systems in addition to schematics. Whether

you are working on a building project led by an

architect or partnering with proessionals rom other

disciplines such as structural and civil engineering

or the design o water/wastewater acilities,

AutoCAD MEP allows you to work in the amiliar

AutoCAD environment while implementing new

systems and documentation tools at your own pace.

Better Design Accuracy

With constant requests to accommodate last

minute changes, MEP proessionals need to

eciently create and edit designs. Using AutoCAD

MEP, you can more easily assess designs, sizing, and

system balances with integrated calculators that

help ensure accuracy. Errors are minimized with

automated drating tasks and built in calculators.

One o the major benetso AutoCAD MEP was theimproved coordinationwith the architecturaland structural designs.By using DWG les romthe extended designteam, we could bettercoordinate our designand signicantly reducethe number o designintererences.

AutoCAD MEP sotware helps to enhance drating

productivity and allows you to more smoothly integratediscipline-specic design and documentation tools.

Coordinate Design Inormation

With continuous pressure to reduce costs, you

can help reduce requests or inormation (RFIs)

and costly design changes in the eld with more

accurate and consistent construction documentsproduced with AutoCAD MEP. Design systems u

real-world parts and equipment, which can be us

throughout the abrication and construction o t

building helping to save time and money.

Collaborate More Efectively

Since most projects require collaboration with

proessionals rom other disciplines, take advant

o architectural and structural plans developed

using AutoCAD-based sotware applications to

better coordinate with your extended team.

AutoCAD MEP sotware helps you to minimize

intererences prior to construction, allowing gre

coordination and collaboration.

AutoCAD MEP helps to provide increased drating productivity, better accuracy and design coordination opportuniti

MEP designers and draters.



Fast. Faster. Fastest workfow

Help improve design accuracy by automating repetitive

drating tasks, reviewing and checking your designs,and simulating sizing and system balances.

amiliar AutoCAD Environment

utoCAD MEP is built on AutoCAD®, providing

ou with access to all o the commands you expect.

rotect your investment in training whilst accessing

iscipline specic tools at your own pace.

ndustry-Based or Task-Based Workspaces

you work in a multidisciplinary rm and perorm

everal dierent design tasks, such as the design

HVAC and piping systems, workspaces are

articularly useul. You can use them to save user

nterace congurations that are tailored to specic

asks. Once the workspaces are created, you can

uickly switch between them as needed.

Schematic Design

More easily create riser diagrams and schematic

plans with enhanced schematic tool palettes

that logically group commonly used tools. The

Properties palette provides easier schematic objectcongurations. Convert existing AutoCAD blocks to

schematic symbols or quick use in schematic design.

Fabrication or MEP Contractors

With smoother integration o abrication partner

tools into AutoCAD MEP sotware, MEP designers,

draters and contractors can leverage their

AutoCAD MEP design or the abrication o sheet

metal, plumbing, and piping making it easier to

create shop drawings.

Single/Double-Line Design

Automate your worfow by creating constructio

documents more eciently with single line or

design development and convert automatically

double line or construction documents. Lay oumechanical systems in single line with unsized

parts early in the design process, and then use

duct-sizing tools and convert the layout to dou

line. Enhanced sizing tools help to increase dra

productivity when moving rom design develop

to construction documentation.

Smart Annotation o Objects

Annotate once or all scales. Annotative text

and symbols automatically change or each view

based on the scale. You can annotate objects w

labels that consist o text or block denitions.

The inormation in the label comes rom object

properties, such as connection size.

Single-line duct design Double-line duct desig



Design, decide and draw the system

Assess your vision and enhance your eciency with

purpose-built sotware or MEP designers and draters.

ngineering Display Themes

ypically, manual properties o an object—such as

duct’s riction loss or velocity—are not visible in

drawing. Display themes let you incorporate such

ongraphical data by using colors, lls, or hatcheso highlight objects that meet criteria you establish

n a display theme style. For example, check your

HVAC design calculations based on riction loss or

elocity to assess perormance or a particular area

r room. Also use the display theme By Pressure

lass to visually show the high, medium, and low

ressure per piping class to more easily identiy

otential design faws.

ynchronized Schedules

Designers and draters can schedule engineering

ystem data, calculate values, and use new table

tyles to lay out room and analysis schedules.

chedules are automatically updated as the design

hanges, assisting in the reduction o errors. Create

chedules as you lay out your design, and see the

chedule populate automatically, helping to save

me. You can create schedules with varying levels

detail by dening and attaching sets o properties

o object styles or to individual objects and then

xtracting and displaying the data in a schedule table.

Seamless Sections and Elevations

No longer wait until the end o your design process

to create sections and elevations, instead, quickly

create them at any time. You can control the size

and shape o the section you generate and assignmaterials to the section or an optimal visual

representation o the sectioned objects.

Drawing Management

The Drawing Management eature ormalizes and

automates the processes related to building system

design and documentation. The eature provides

automated tools that aid in the management,

viewing, and construction o your building systems.

When your project les are managed with this

eature, you have greater consistency in all aspects

o the project, and everyone on the design team has

a centralized project environment or accessing the

most current documents. Powerul linking eatures

help enable that source les can be distributed

over many dierent locations on your computer

or on a network, enabling dierent people to work

simultaneously on the same project.

Using AutoCAD MEP withits powerul visual designcoordination capabilities,we were able to lay outthese extremely complexmechanical rooms—easily—knowing ahead o time whether there was aintererence.
