I guees I am noob because I cannot seam to do the easy stuff in the new autocad.
I need to be able to take a round take-off from a standard square duct but the stupid thing will not let me is there a way to to make it do that. As an HVAC design engineer I need to be able to all differant type of take-offs. And I am about ready to rip 2012 out of my machine and go back to 2009 where at least the thing worked and did what I told it instead of trying to think for me. It now takes me twice as long to draw a simple duct work system as before.
If there is a tutorial video or some training I would be open to that, But right now I cannot do my JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use the 2d and the 3d version of autocad MEP Proffessional 2012 I drawing in 2d but check the 3d alot to make sure it is missing everything within the structure that I need to miss. So I use it all.
The only thing I see on the ribbon is duct and duct fitting. Neither of which allows me to pull off a bellmouth or a drop heel take-off directly from the ductwork as I could in 2009.
