Fabrication is the Plug-in product??

Anonymous · ‎01-10-2018

I need to know

1.The Fabrication CAD MEP , Fabrication CAM Duct, Fabrication EST MEP are plug-ins with Revit and AutoCAD MEP?

And i know the fabrication is the separate software on AEC Collection.

pls answer any one about the above question.

Note and also i have an doubt here..

or If i purchase the Fabrication product separately ...those fabrication cad mep, est mep and cam duct are added as the PLUG IN on the REVIT AND AUTOCAD MEP environment? Is it correct ??

Cam Duct and Est Mep can run by themselves. Fabrication Cad MEP needs AutoCad and/or AutoCad Verticals to run.

Fabrication Cad MEP is also a plug in to Revit but some of the database management must be made from within AutoCad.

You typically should not purchase Fabrication by itself. At a minimum you would need to purchase Fabrication and AutoCad together.

Somebody else can chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

AEC Collection contains AutoCAD and CADmep. CADmep requires AutoCAD or other AutoCAD based product to run as.

Revit references the same database configuration as the Autodesk Fabrication products but base Revit has that functionality built in so there's no other products you need. Again, Revit is also included in the AEC Collection.

ESTmep and CAMduct are not part of the AEC collection. They don't need any other products to run.

To manage a Fabrication configuration at this time at least 1 person in your company will need CADmep, ESTmep or CAMduct to be able to manage the database.
