Summary

This course is designed for AutoCAD MEP users who want to learn how to design, model, and make construction documents for a piping system used in commercial, institutional, and waste water environments. This class uses hands-on exercises to teach students how to lay out systems that start as simple placeholders and grow in intelligence as the design matures through schematic design, design development, and construction documentation phases of a project. This courseware also teaches students how to make construction documents that meet the demanding requirements of the building construction industry.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for the new user of AutoCAD MEP. Professionals from large, medium, and small engineering and architecture-engineering firms. Building owners, facility engineers, as well as contractors can also benefit from using this product.

Objectives

The primary objective of this courseware is to teach students the basic functions necessary for creating a piping plan using AutoCAD MEP.

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  • Create, label, and modify a process flow diagram.
  • Create a piping model and define route preferences.
  • Place piping equipment.
  • Layout pipes and fittings.
  • Layout symbols, lines, and inline annotation in ISO mode.
  • Tag, schedule, and plot process flow diagrams and piping models.

Prerequisites

It is recommended that the student have a working knowledge of:

  • Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP, or Vista.
  • Recent version of Autodesk® Architectural Desktop or AutoCAD Architecture.
  • Drafting, design, or engineering experience.

Each Student Receives
