We're a consulting engineering firm that does acoustical, A/V, telecom, and security work.

We use AutoCAD Architecture and have spent a good of time setting up tool pallets.

I was wondering if the MEP product has any tools for laying out cable tray and conduit.

For example I'd like to find a tool to automate drawing (3) 4" conduits in plan showing the appropriate size bends, etc...

thx

In MEP 2009 there is an electrical pallette with cable trays and conduits. However I am of the duct/mechanical piping and plumbing school and have never had any need to use the electrical tool pallette. I just tried it and it seemed easy enough for an engineer though!!

Not at all, it's your post. I didn't want to step in where I'm not needed.
