AutoCAD MEP Reviews & Product Details

I’ve been using AutoCAD MEP for various projects and what stands out most to me is its intuitive design capabilities for both 2D and 3D modeling. It’s incredibly user-friendly, making it accessible even for those new to the software. The interface simplifies measurement taking, enhancing my productivity and the precision of my designs. This toolset has significantly improved the efficiency of my workflow in MEP designs, and I highly recommend it for its ease of use and comprehensive features.

While AutoCAD MEP is a powerful tool for 3D modeling and design, I've encountered some challenges with software integration and customization. Its performance can sometimes lag, especially with complex models, and the learning curve can be steep for those new to CAD software. Additionally, I find the subscription model to be on the pricier side, which might not suit every budget. Despite these drawbacks, its comprehensive features for MEP professionals are unmatched, making it a valuable tool in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not like the normal Autocad, the MEP allowed me to more efficient in doing HVAC drawings, instead of doing standard line drawings, the duct routing and annotation is so amazing, my work for any shop drawing has went over 40% down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That is it not improving other areas as well as creating tables and custom create equipment annotations, their other software (Revit MEP) has this advantage.

Else the loading time, by time it becomes very slow and any computer update can effect its stability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Autocad MEP for designing MEP drawings for kitchen layouts. One of the best things about AUTOCAD MEP is its user-friendly interface and easy shortcuts. The interesting thing about this software is we can able to customize its user interface, shortcut tools, and mouse gestures. Since keyboard shortcuts are the same as Autocad mechanical it makes it even easy to make drawing and reduces our design time. Their support team is always active and replies to our queries very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very less tools are available for 3D design and using 3D commands little bit difficult. But am satisfied with its 2D design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The toolset and separate functions strictly for MEP is extremely useful for those who are not CAD strong. This has helped me onboard users who come from Revit knowledge and was a seamless integration and transition. As with AutoCAD, you are able to type commands which is a huge help to users along with the tooltip. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could improve to make it easier for users to navigate to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little learning curve. Since it is part of Autodesk's product suite, people familiar with Autodesk products can easily become proficient with the software. AutoCAD MEP's seamless integration with other Autodesk products is a very useful feature, allowing professionals like architects, structural engineers, and others to collaborate effectively."

Steep Learning Curve: AutoCAD MEP can be challenging for newcomers.

AutoCAD MEP have stability issues, with occasional crashes or slow performance, which will be a problem when working with large projects. Since it is a resource-intensive software user needs to have a powerful computer, so this might not be good option for users with older hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how versatile AutoCAD MEP is. We were taught how to use this when I was still at college and up until now, I use it atleast once a week for my freelance work as an electrical designer. It can display 2d and 3d and can be really played with as there are a lot of free online tutorials on how to design using Autocad. For any problems or suggestions, they can be emailed right away.

So far, so good. There are no flaws as long as you use a PC or laptop that has ram that could process and render your designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The large robust catalog for MEP design, specifically piping, allowing to design in 2D and cut 3D sections as well as adding items like check assemblies and pumps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That is doesn't work with Civil 3D as far as being able to bring content in and use in that software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to bring CAD into Revit and make changes as required. Since we are an A/E firm, having the extra MEP tools helps out our engineering side of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seem clunky from an Architectural standpoint. However, I have been spoiled with Revit, so stepping back into any 2D drawing software seems a little clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AutoCAD is a little complex designing software, but once you get used to it, it will be easier and UI has more functionalities for designing. MEP toolset is easier to integrate with AutoCAD and has a broader usage in Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing designs and drafts. Implementation of AutoCAD MEP is quicker and easier.
