AutoCAD MEP 2015 streamlines the design workflow through several automated systems:

: Capability to generate 2D schematic representations of complex 3D systems. Content Creation & Customization

: Designers work with "systems" rather than simple lines. For instance, drawing a duct automatically adds necessary fittings based on predefined routing preferences.

: Comprehensive piping system definitions (e.g., domestic water, sanitary sewer) with automatic hidden line display for overlapping pipes.

: This tool manages the building information model (BIM) by organizing levels, constructs, views, and sheets across a project environment. Design Disciplines Covered

: The software utilizes extensive tool palettes for HVAC, piping, electrical, and plumbing, allowing for rapid selection of over 10,500 intelligent objects.

: Simplified duct routing with automatic placement of elbows, tees, and reducers.

: A built-in Display Manager automatically handles geometry, layers, and colors, removing the need for manual layer manipulation.
