AutoCAD MEP 2014 Advanced Training & Content Customization

AutoCAD® MEP software is the version of AutoCAD® software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) designers and drafters.  Experience more accurate drafting and documentation of building systems in a familiar AutoCAD environment. Automated drafting tasks and interference detection helps you increase productivity and reduce errors. 

 

AutoCAD MEP is a powerful BIM program that supports the ability to coordinate, update, and share design data with team members throughout the design, construction, and management phases of a building’s life. A key component in managing the BIM process is to establish a company foundation for different types of projects by creating standard templates and custom elements. Having this in place makes the process 

of any new project flow smoothly and efficiently.
