What’s New

Enhanced Usability
  • New customizable ribbon toolbar is task-oriented with redesigned, intuitive icons.
  • Improved workspaces are tailored for tasks such as HVAC and piping systems in
    ready-made formats, which are also highly customizable.
  • New application menu helps enable easier access to a list of commands such as
    Open, Save, Export and Publish; also use the application menu to access recent
    documents.
  • Gravity based designs for Sanitary Drain, Waste, Vent and Storm/Sewer drainage
    systems can now be drawn more easily with the new sloped piping functionality.
  • Pipe routing preferences have been expanded to include parts with male and female
    connections.

More Efficiently Create and Edit Drawings and Drawing Data

  • Leverage multiple part catalog support and use individual catalogs for different
    material types, allowing for easier part selection.
  • Support and migrate existing customized catalogs with tools to redefine the catalog
    based content in existing drawings; upgrade and add new parameters automatically.
  • Import manufactured building components from Autodesk® Inventor® without
    undesirable loss of data.
  • Content builder enhancements allow users to create custom parametric parts with
    male, female or a combination of both connectors based on real-world piping
    requirements.
  • Enhanced integration with Autodesk® Seek web service lets designers search a vast
    library of 2D and 3D building products and publish customized designs to the service.

More Coordinated Construction Documents

  • New part content has been added to help produce construction documents faster.
  • Values in the Panel Schedule are automatically updated when regenerating a drawing.
  • Improved graphical display of MEP parts provides more accurate representation in
    construction documentation.
  • A new DWG to PDF driver offers merge control for plot colors, the ability to include
    layer information and a preview of the plotted PDF.
