AutoCAD can work well for MEP drawings. Try using it alongside one of these libraries:

Pipework & Structural Steel http://www.3DCADMax.com (http://www.3dcadmax.com/)

3D AutoCAD Pipework – http://www.HerculeDesign.com (http://www.herculedesign.com/)

Or if you'd prefer 2D:
2D AutoCAD Pipework - http://www.3dcadmax.com/2DPipeFittingsAutoCAD.htm

Autodesk also offer AutoCAD MEP - http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=3290681

AutoCAD MEP is the front runner in high end piping programs. Inventor Professional has a pipe program that is impressive but has a very steep learning curve if you are from an AutoCAD background.

Hugh has given some great links. I am a MEP drafter and I currently run AutoCAD MEP 2008. However, I can still do normal 2D MEP drafting in a normal version of AutoCAD, which is still apart of the MEP Package. There is a really good Lisp program on this board that allows you to draw pipe/ductwork in 2D and is very powerful. If you want more info I can help you out on how to install it on your current AutoCAD program.

Hello,

I would also be interested in that lisp routine - if anyone can point me in that direction.

After you install the Lisp file, type DUCT to execute the program. :)
