MEP Building Systems for ACAD 2005-2008

Print this page for future reference

The MEP Building System contains all of the building systems in a single system as indicated in the menu below.

When loaded into ACAD, all shipping CAE-Link building design systems are available for use within a single system. The gray areas are not completed at this time, but will be included in future releases. Watch this site for updates.

HVAC, Plumbing Isometrics, Electrical and Noting are currently  available in MEP.

The CL-MEP drop-down menu provides the means of navigation to each of the systems. Once in a system, all of the features contained within the system is available for use. Noting is unique to each system because Noting has it's own layer scheme for each discipline.

To see the features contained in each system, navigate to the site for a discussion of the components identified above. The tools contained in MEP are the exact same tools used in each of the above systems.

Installation Instructions

  1. If you have previously installed MEP, to insure a clean installation, start ACAD and unload MEP, Noting, Layers and any other CAE-Link systems.
  2. If you are a new or existing user, insure ACAD is closed. ACAD must be shut down for the installation.
  3. Once you have your new license code, download the MEP Building System. To install directly from the web, select Open. If you prefer, select Save and place the file in a temporary directory. 
  4. If you saved the file, go the the file location and double click on the file. The EXE is a standard installation program which is very quick and compact.
  5. During the installation, the first requirement is to provide the license code. We recommend you copy the code from your email and paste it into the request. Once the code is accepted, continue and respond to the installation wizard questions. If the code is not entered or is not correct, the installation will be discontinued.
  6. Next, start AutoCAD and select "Tools/Load Application..." from the menu. For ease of future loading, be sure to check "Add to History" and select the History List tab. Now, find and double click on the file "c:\program files\caelink\load_mep.lsp" and select Close.
  7. The system will load and the MEP Building Systems will be available for use.
