We are new to AutoCAD MEP and are attempting to draw fully coordintated mechanical drawings for a new school project.
The main stumbling blocks we have at the moment are:
Any help would be much appreciated.
What library are you working out of? Metric, etc.?
There are some copper valves on Seek, I believe, but I wouldn't get too detailed - grab a common fitting, and edit the MVPART - let me know if you need directions on how to edit these. I did a class on this at AU a few years ago, and will be doing another this year...maybe I can add something on the fittings for you about adding default sizes.
The layers are set at the MVPART Style level - you can edit this in the Catalog Editor or in the Content Builder tool. You have to know how layer key styles work, since you'd be adding/editing a key first, then assigning it to the part.
