AutoCAD ® MEP 2008 A better, faster AutoCAD for MEP engineering design and documentation.
Unify MEP Engineering Design and Construction Documentation The engineers at Affiliated Engineers, Inc.
Increase Efficiency with Improved Drafting Productivity Discipline-Specific Tool Palettes Provide all team members with the right tools for the job. A discipline-specific engineering tool palette displays only the tools relevant for the mechanical, electrical, or plumbing engineering user, providing consistency across project drawings. Organize the tool palette to specific company or individual preferences.
Make a Seamless Transition from Traditional Drafting Processes AutoCAD MEP enables engineers, designers, and drafters to move from design to documentation faster through the automated production of construction documents with discipline-specific, AutoCAD-based tools. Increase the efficiency of design development and construction documentation processes using actual industry-based content. Reuse design data by linking to industry-leading analysis, cost estimation, and fabrication software applications.
Export to AutoCAD Export to AutoCAD enables designers to easily generate AutoCAD DWG™ files to distribute to consultants who may be using various versions of AutoCAD. The export capability maintains complete graphic representation of symbols and devices as shown on construction documentation. What you see in AutoCAD MEP is what you get when exporting to basic AutoCAD.
Produce Accurate Construction Documentation in Less Time Minimize documentation coordination errors between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design teams as well as with architects and structural engineers within an AutoCAD-based workflow. AutoCAD MEP helps reduce requests for information (RFIs) and costly design changes in the field by enabling more accurate and consistent construction documents.
Circuit Manager Work more efficiently using a single location to manage and edit circuit information. Automatic prompts notify users of potential overloads and undersized wires based on conductor size, helping avoid errors and rework. Spaces and Zones Assign engineering spaces from existing 2D architectural floor plans or design drawings, and AutoCAD MEP automatically calculates room measurements, including square footage/square meters and volumes per room or area.
