Style Manager Course
Styles control the behavior of objects in all AutoCAD MEP drawings. The Style Manager is used to manage the information regarding systems and objects and how they are displayed. In addition, templates can be configured to include commonly used styles, thereby optimizing drawing creation and project completion.

Display System Course
To help control how items appear in an AutoCAD MEP drawing, the Display Manager is used to configure display configurations, representation sets, and object display properties. These settings are unique to each drawing and must therefore be defined in the template. When configured accurately, these visibility settings can save users a great deal of time.

Content Development Course Introduction
Designing systems in AutoCAD MEP requires the use of the Content Libraries, where MEP objects are stored. Both catalog-based content and style-based content can be found in these XML-based libraries, which can contain millions of parts. Therefore, while it is possible to create both custom content and custom libraries, it is important for users to understand where the default content is located first.

Designing with Space and Zone Objects Course Introduction
Spaces and Zones are intelligent objects within AutoCAD MEP that help users perform analyses on a building model. These analyses provide essential information about the model, including area dimensions (square footage or volume), energy data, overall airflow, and more. This information helps engineers and designers make decisions about the model before construction begins.

Modeling an MEP System Course
Understanding the three-step process for modeling MEP systems within AutoCAD MEP is an essential skill. To gain the most advantage, using the tools in the correct sequence and for the appropriate task can help engineers and designers reduce errors, increase accuracy, and improve productivity and coordination.

Detailing Course
AutoCAD MEP provides users with detailed plan layouts. View drawings leverage the display configurations. These drawings can present the plan in a variety of ways, helping clearly communicate design intent. Enlarged plan views help express the intent with even greater detail.

Annotation Course
Clearly communicating design intent is crucial for building real-world models. To address this, AutoCAD MEP includes annotation tools tailored to MEP users’ needs. Tags are intelligent objects that carry annotation information from the moment of object creation through the documentation process. Intelligent schedules for these tagged parts can then be created, automatically reflecting any changes made within the drawing.
