Creating Accurate Construction Documents
In AutoCAD, there is no automated way to revise construction documents to reflect changes in your original
drawing or to automate the creation of section views. As the design changes, manually updating section
views is not only time-consuming but also error-prone. You also would need to use a text editor in AutoCAD
to perform tasks, such as adding labels to objects, formatting text, justifying positioning, or setting scale
representations.
In AutoCAD MEP, you can maximize your productivity using automated tools, such as tagging, labeling,
annotation scaling, and layout symbols. Because project drawings are created, stored, and maintained using
the drawing management tools in AutoCAD MEP, the resulting construction documents are updated
automatically when changes get made.
Section Views
You can create section views from your AutoCAD MEP model, as shown next.
