Description

Develop, configure, and articulate building systems utilizing specialized tools tailored for MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) applications. The workspace incorporates unique palettes and domain-centric ribbons designed to enhance your workflow efficiency. Elevate the quality of your documentation while significantly increasing your drafting output. Convert multiple blocks and symbols in bulk with ease. Expand your Content Library with additional MEP components and new folders. AutoCAD® 2022 introduces these industry-specific toolsets along with an enhanced interconnected experience across various platforms and Autodesk products, featuring innovative automations like Count. Generate single or multiline text (mtext) as a cohesive text object, and customize the formatting, columns, and boundaries to your preference. Dimensions can be created automatically for streamlined workflows. Hovering over selected objects provides a preview, allowing for better planning before creation. Additionally, create leaders with diverse content types, such as text or blocks, while conveniently formatting leader lines and establishing distinct styles to suit your project needs. This comprehensive set of features ensures that your MEP projects are not only efficient but also visually appealing.

Description

h2x is an engineering design and calculation platform developed for mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection professionals. The software enables users to design building services systems while automatically calculating pipe sizes, duct dimensions, flow rates, velocities, and pressure losses. Its HVAC design tools support heating and cooling load calculations, ductwork layouts, hydronic systems, and equipment sizing. Plumbing capabilities include domestic water distribution, wastewater drainage, stormwater systems, and gas pipework design. Fire protection design features support sprinkler, hydrant, and hose system layouts and hydraulic sizing calculations. The platform connects engineering calculations directly to system drawings, allowing design changes to trigger automatic recalculation of affected components. Users can review systems in a 3D environment to identify potential coordination issues and evaluate system performance. h2x generates technical reports, branded PDF drawings, bills of materials, and files compatible with AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit. Its integrated workflow helps engineering consultants, contractors, and building services designers manage system calculations, technical documentation, and design coordination.
