ACAD 2012 MEP Take-offs from Standard Square duct ?!?!?!?!

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.
