Project Management Course
It is important for engineers and designers to keep drawings organized, and to make sure that they conform to company standards and client specifications. The project management tools in AutoCAD MEP allow users to easily create templates, enter project information, and define project-wide settings, to ensure that drawings conform to these standards.
Course Objectives
The material presented in this course will teach you:
How to keep drawings organized How to make sure drawings conform to company standards and client specifications
How users can easily create templates, enter project information, and define project-wide settings
Course Prerequisites
To participate in this training course, you should have a basic understanding of the following:
None
Approximate Duration: 50 Minutes
Tips:
Turn off your phone, and close your email, text, and social media apps.
Plug headphones or earbuds to your computer.
Go Full Screen when watching videos.
Analyzing Systems Course
AutoCAD MEP includes tools to help you analyze and check your model, and make sure that equipment and systems are properly connected. These intelligent tools help ensure that objects such as ducts, pipes, wiring, and conduit are connected correctly and without interferences.

Approximate Duration: 20 Minutes
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.
How to manage information regarding systems and objects How to display systems and objects How to use templates to configure commonly used styles Course Prerequisites
Approximate Duration: 197 Minutes
Display System Course
In order 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 therefore must 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 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.

Approximate Duration: 107 Minutes
Getting Started Course Introduction
The AutoCAD MEP interface allows the user to focus on the unique needs of the systems engineer or designer. This course introduces the user to the AutoCAD ribbon interface and the MEP Workplaces. Demonstrations, tips, and tricks are given so users can develop their own workflows for using both. The project management system is also explored in detail.

Schematic Drawings Course
With AutoCAD MEP, users have the ability to create both isometric and orthographic schematics. Schematic views are intended to provide the contractor with an overall view of a system, and how the objects are intended to be connected together. The Schematic workspace makes creating these schematic views easy.

Approximate Duration: 30 Minutes
Designing with Space and Zone Objects Course
Spaces and Zones are intelligent objects within AutoCAD MEP that help users perform analyses on a building model. These analyses provide necessary information about the model, including area dimensional values for square footage or volume, energy data, overall airflow, and more. This information helps engineers and designers make decisions about the model, before any construction is begun.
Course Objectives

How to perform analyses on a building model
How to gather necessary information about the model, including area dimensional values for square footage or volume, energy data, overall airflow, and more
Approximate Duration: 41 Minutes
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.

Approximate Duration: 196 Minutes
Detailing Course
AutoCAD MEP provides users with detailed plan layouts. View drawings leverage the display configurations. These drawings can show the plan in a variety of ways, which helps to clearly communicate design intent. Enlarged plan views help express the intent with even greater detail.
How to provide users with detailed plan layouts How to view drawings in display configuration How to clearly communicate design intent How to streamline the documentation process How to examine electrical preferences Course Prerequisites
Approximate Duration: 40 Minutes
Annotation Course
Clearly communicating design intent is crucial for building models in the real world. To address this, AutoCAD MEP includes annotation tools specific to the needs of the MEP user. Tags are intelligent objects that carry annotation information from the moment of object creation through the documentation process. Intelligent schedules of these tagged parts can then be created, which automatically reflect any changes that are made within the drawing.

Approximate Duration: 26 Minutes
Electrical Systems Course
In AutoCAD MEP, electrical engineers can leverage design and analysis tools to help streamline the documentation process. In order to use these tools, electrical preferences must be examined. This includes how voltage definitions, circuiting, and the electrical project database are created.
Course Objectives
