Fabrication for AutoCAD MEP
Piping
Fabrication for AutoCAD MEP Piping is a complete design and pre-fabrication software solution for mechanical contractors who create, manufacture and install piping systems for commercial and residential building projects. EastCoast’s AutoCAD MEP Piping consists of EastCoast’s extensive manufacturer content, pipe pre-fabrication tools, and spool drawing generation - all fully integrated inside Autodesk’s powerful AutoCAD MEP CAD engine. Together they form an efficient and streamlined solution for the mechanical piping contractor, dramatically improving any shop’s productivity.
The manufacturing content is a true representation of real parts, obtained from industry standard part suppliers. You can also add your own custom information to these piping parts to use as a filter for grouping parts in the catalog, or for scheduling and tagging purposes.
 |
The pipes and fittings drawn in AutoCAD MEP are real manufacture parts.
|
Custom pipes and fittings can also be easily defined, with flexible editing of custom attributes from many areas of Part Manager, the content library user interface. At any time a pipe catalog report can be generated to examine fittings within a selected catalog.
 |
Pipe catalog reporting identifies all the fittings used in a particular catalog.
|
Fabrication for AutoCAD MEP Piping fully automates the process of routing and detailing, saving time and resources. For example, hanger placement is a simple setup process that ensures automatic placement as you build pipe runs. Alternatively, you can insert individual hangers by the point and click method.
Spool drawings are generated in seconds - complete with a cut list, fitting list, and number of welds. Pipe numbering tags and pipe length dimensions can also be included in the spool drawing. These spool features can be easily updated after changes to the drawing are made, to ensure optimal visibility in any orientation. Use the Verification command to check for spool errors, and the Spool Legend to identify multiple spools by color in the pipe run. EastCoast’s spool drawings save upwards of 75% in labor costs.

Create spool drawings with real manufacturer content.

Fabrication forAutoCAD MEP Piping fully supports project data collaboration. Transfer your design data to the Trimble Total Station tool, store labor and wage estimation information with parts in the content library, and export jobs to estimation partners.
By bringing purpose-built models for piping design to CAD, Fabrication for AutoCAD MEP Piping allows everyone in the process—owners, architects, engineers and contractors— to work together, drawing from a common set of information, leveraging each team’s contribution more effectively while reducing the risk of information loss.
