The company I work for will soon start using fabrication cadMEP. I have a licensed copy of autocad 2017 at home. I downloaded the free 30 day trial of fabrication in an effort to learn some of the basics at home, so I would have some familiarity with the product, which is due to be introduced in about a months time at work.
The only download available was 2016 fabrication cadMEP, which I installed without problem. On starting autocad 2017, I first tried the takeoff command with no success, so then tried the APPLOAD command. The dialogue box then appears which by itself has located the correct cadMEP folder location. I click on the CADmep20_1x64.arx file but it fails to load. Incidentally I also tied the file below also named CADmep20_1x64 but a .dbx extension.
Has anyone else had or seen this issue before? I was wondering if a licensed version could run with a trial version? Or perhaps there was a 2017/16 conflict which seems unlikely.
Thanks in advance.
