My team uses both Autocad and Autocad Mechnical. The issue is that the content items from mechanical comes up as proxy objects in AutoCAD and that they're unclickable/movable. I tried searching for it but all I see is the FabricationMEP CAD enbler.

I've got the latest version 2023 but I believe some of my coworkers have older verions. Most likely they're 2018.

"proxy objects" is how plain AutoCAD is designed to work with verticals content like MECH. an Object Enabler is not going to give you added control to edit or move that content around.

And OEs for 2023 are listed here, and I am not seeing one either https://manage.autodesk.com/products/ACD?version=2023&platform=WIN64&language=EINT

If you intend and need to move and edit that content, any reason why you all are not using MECHINCAL all the time? For AutoCAD 2023 users it's a free download and install here https://manage.autodesk.com/products/AMECH_PP?version=2023&platform=WIN64&language=EINT

We're in the middle of an extreamly slow process to switching over to mechanical. Our CAD expert is working to rewrite  and improve our plugins to work in Autocad Mechincal.
