	AutoCAD MEP 2009 software focuses on three main areas:
	•Ease of Use. Increase efficiency with improved drafting productivity. Reduce drafting time by working with tools designed specifically for MEP designers and drafters. Adapt and easily customize AutoCAD MEP software to existing AutoCAD-based workflows and flexibly implement it where appropriate to improve the design process. Take advantage of the enhanced single-line and double-line system design and layout productivity tools in AutoCAD MEP, and spend less time drafting and more time designing. Working in the familiar AutoCAD environment enables you to easily implement new design tools at your own pace.
	•Ease of Migration. Move seamlessly from traditional drafting processes. AutoCAD MEP enables engineers, designers, and drafters to move from design to documentation faster through the automated production of construction documents with discipline-specific, AutoCAD-based tools. Increase the efficiency of the design development and construction documentation processes using actual industry-based content. Reuse design data by linking to industry-leading analysis, cost estimation, and fabrication software applications.
	•Construction Documents. Produce accurate construction documentation in less time. Minimize documentation coordination errors between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design teams as well as with architects and structural engineers within an AutoCAD-based workflow. AutoCAD MEP helps reduce requests for information (RFIs) and costly design changes in the field by enabling more accurate and consistent construction documents. Collaborate seamlessly when you take advantage of the architectural base plans developed using AutoCAD-based software applications. Autodesk’s industry-leading DWG file format lets you easily share your work with your entire team.
