AutoCAD Structural Detailing

HI. Does anyone know how to properly display ASD drawings in AutoCAD?
Seems there used to be Object Enablers and such to display MEP object in AutoCAD. Since at my work we use MEP for certain designers (piping, air systems - and switching the structural to ASD I hope) at work and ASD (concrete foundation work, steel structures, mechanical equipment since we design structures around equipment, that being our structures main purpose really) for others, the two programs need to be interchangable for loading xrefs between them. If not, that doesn't seem productive, more of a hindrance really.
Learning this software can be frustrating enough, making all the version work together and maintaining productivity or better yet increasing it?, pfft, it's a challenge from ground zero where I'm standing now.
Hopefully I'm just missing something well-known among you ASD vets here...and its good news?
