  • Working with Piping using the Piping workspace you will draw pipe to connect to sprinklers and see how to make modifications to selected piping.
  • With the Electrical tools and workspace you will add receptacles, wire the receptacles and add light fixtures. You will also gain insight on how to use the Circuit Manager to review and manage circuits. Finally you will see how to create a panel schedule for your drawing.
  • In Plumbing, you will overview on how to draw a waste line, connect fixtures to the line and add a vent line. You will also see how to create a fixture schedule.

Upgrade your efficiency.

This AutoCAD MEP overview event is best suited for those currently using AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT or various other CAD products. We'll show you how easy using the software is, and how quickly you can see the real benefits.
