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 content for your mechanical, electrical, and plumbing designs. In addition, convert your AutoCAD blocks to orthographic symbols, as well as isometric symbols to facilitate your schematic design documentation.

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 construction documents. Design team members can access a centralized project directory of the most current documents, from project templates to sections and elevations.

Work on flat 2D AutoCAD® floor plans or AutoCAD® Architecture geometric model floor plans. Reference architectural floor base plans developed in AutoCAD-based software for better design and documentation coordination.

Assign engineering spaces from existing 2D architectural floor plans or AutoCAD® Architecture geometric designs. Calculate room measurements automatically, including square footage, meters, and volumes per area. Space and zone information is used when exporting to gbXML for import into Autodesk® Green Building Studio® and/or third-party analysis programs.

Use point cloud data from right within AutoCAD MEP. Bring your 3D scans to life and use point cloud data for renovation, retrofit, and restoration projects. Visualize the points more quickly and snap to the surface of your scanned objects directly within your modeling workspace.

Experience improved overall performance when accessing tools, navigating large designs, and accessing MvPart. Performance enhancements include improved program functionality and demand loading, enabling you to get started faster.

Enhanced documentation features help you to create, rationalize, and document 2D views. Create 3D models in AutoCAD MEP and convert to 2D for documentation needs. Utilize improvements in the command line with the ability to auto-complete and differentiate commands and sysvars. 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.

Search for and access design files, objects, and content from within AutoCAD MEP 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.

Use Autodesk Exchange to access a community filled with pertinent learning information. An enhanced user experience provides access to integrated web-based help content, tips and tricks, as well as aggregated content to help support your continued learning. If you are an Autodesk Subscription member, you can connect to the Autodesk Subscription Center from Autodesk Exchange to receive the latest product information and extensions to enhance your workflow.

The AutoCAD® WS web and mobile application for AutoCAD MEP lets you view, edit, and share DWG™ drawings through a web browser or mobile device. Now you have the freedom to work anywhere and with anyone. Store AutoCAD drawings and project files in an easy-to-access online workspace. View and edit your designs online or on your Apple® iPad®, iPhone®, or iPod touch®. Share and collaborate more easily with others.

Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data within AutoCAD MEP allows you to create, manage, and share data with other members in the design process. IFC export will recognize MEP objects from within AutoCAD MEP and export them along with MEP Systems and their connectivity to corresponding IFC Building Services entities and types.
