AutoCAD MEP 2011

AutoCAD® MEP 2010 software is the discipline-specific version of AutoCAD® software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) designers and drafters.Sharing and collaborating with architects and structural engineers is made easier through the familiar AutoCAD-based environment.

AutoCAD MEP’s more intuitive systems and design tools provide greater drafting productivity with the flexibility to make last-minute design changes more quickly and easily.

AutoCAD MEP helps to provide increased drafting productivity, better accuracy, and design coordination opportunities for MEP designers and drafters.

Production of construction documents is automated, allowing the creation of single line and double line systems in addition to schematics.

 

	Discipline-Specific Tool Palettes Provide all team members with the right tools for the job. A discipline-specific engineering tool palette displays only the relevant tools for the mechanical, electrical, or plumbing engineering user, providing consistency across project drawings. Organize the tool palette to specific company or individual preferences. Now engineers, designers, and drafters can easily modify tool palette size, shape, system type, and much more using in-place editing. Simply select the tools you want to change, and modify the common properties all at once, streamlining the design process and improving productivity.
	Duct, Pipe, and Wire Sizing Automatically size ducts, plumbing and piping, and wire during design layout using traditional design methods that incorporate code-driven requirements and industry standards. These methods eliminate the need for many tedious manual recalculations. This release introduces improved connectivity that supports enhanced sizing capabilities, including one-line duct conversion to double-line ductwork based on resizing of the system and sizing of systems through external references (xrefs).
	Sections and Elevations Create sections and elevations in seconds rather than hours. When designers make a change in the design, sections and elevations update automatically. This capability saves time and helps ensure accuracy in the design. Each design change is reflected in real time, minimizing tedious manual updates.
	Extended Engineering Data Easy access to engineering data in your system model enables data sharing for automated sizing calculations, enhanced scheduling, and improved annotation. Extract engineering data from your models in standard file formats, such as gbXML (green building extensible markup language) and ddXML (duct design extensible markup language). Take advantage of the application programming interface (API) for interoperability with third-party analysis, cost estimating, and fabrication applications. Such interoperability minimizes manual transfer of design data and helps to ensure the accuracy of your designs.
	Dynamic Dimensions As engineers, designers, and drafters make changes to their mechanical, electrical, or plumbing design, they benefit from the Dynamic Dimensions feature. This feature gives real-time feedback on the exact location of a move or copy change within a design. This capability facilitates Heads-up Design™, speeding the production process for faster delivery of construction documents.
	Scheduling Create schedules in seconds, saving hours over traditional CAD drawing processes. Schedules are automatically updated as the design changes. This capability helps to reduce errors in construction documents. Now engineers, designers, and drafters can schedule engineering system data, calculate values, and use new table styles to lay out room and analysis schedules.
	Engineering Display Themes Streamlining the design process by virtually eliminating dialog boxes, grip manipulation enhances design productivity by keeping engineers, designers, and drafters focused on the design and documentation task at hand. With a single click, easily perform design and documentation changes, such as stretching the length of a duct or changing the Z elevation, while maintaining connectivity between objects.
