converting 2D Autocad Duct drawings to Fabrication CADmep models

Hi ALL,

I am so glad that i am member of this great forum.

we are sheet metal duct manufacturer, all our customers provide us with the duct layers in 2D autoCad file.

Can i import this file to fabrication CADmep and automatically convert it to the CADmep models? i mean,recognize each duct piece (like straight duct, elbow or Tee) with the correct dimensions?

Or should i trace that file piece by piece?

we want to do this because there are a lot of human mistakes involved in doing all these dimensions manually , so i am thinking that the fabrication process should be as following:

2D AutoCad file from the customer -> import to Fabrication CADmep -> takeoff to CAMduct

am i right? did i mess something?

by the way , we are using Fabrication CADmep 2018, and CAMduct 2018

Best Regards,

Ammar Mohammad

Trace over it. Using Design Line can help with the process.
