AutoMEP: AI-Powered AutoCAD MEP Automation

 

AutoMEP transforms how MEP engineers and CAD professionals edit AutoCAD drawings. Instead of placing objects one by one, editing layers manually, or annotating entities by hand, you describe the changes you want in plain English, and AutoMEP applies them directly to your DWG.

HOW IT WORKS

Upload your AutoCAD DWG, type your instruction, and AutoMEP handles the rest. The app analyzes your drawing's full geometry, layers, blocks, and entities, then uses AI to translate your request into precise AutoCAD operations executed via Autodesk Design Automation. Your modified DWG is ready to download in minutes.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

  • Layer Management
  • Create new layers with AIA/NCS-standard naming, freeze or thaw layers by prefix, and apply correct discipline-specific layer standards automatically.
  • Geometry and Annotation
  • Add polylines, circles, arcs, ellipses, and text. Insert block references from your drawing's existing library. Place multileader annotations and aligned dimensions. Annotate areas with calculated square footage.
  • Tagging and Labeling
  • Tag pipes by length range, tag ducts by size, and apply systematic labels across MEP systems. Deterministic templates run before AI processing for maximum consistency on common tasks.
  • Bulk Modifications
  • Move, delete, or edit drawing entities by handle. Apply changes across multiple entities in a single instruction instead of selecting them one at a time.

COMMON USE CASES

  • Tag existing pipe or duct runs with size and material labels
  • Add annotation layers for coordination markups
  • Apply standard layer sets to drawings that are missing them
  • Generate area annotations for room-by-room quantity takeoffs
  • Freeze or isolate discipline layers for review exports
  • Apply block labels and leaders across system diagrams

WHO USES AUTOMEP

AutoMEP is built for MEP engineers, mechanical designers, electrical CAD drafters, and plumbing coordination teams who work in AutoCAD daily. It eliminates repetitive editing tasks that consume hours on every project, so your team can focus on design decisions instead of drawing mechanics.

POWERED BY AUTODESK APS

AutoMEP runs on Autodesk Design Automation, processing drawings server-side using a certified AutoCAD engine. Your DWG is analyzed at the entity level, including handles, coordinates, layers, and block references, giving the AI full spatial and structural context before any edit is made. The two-phase workflow ensures precision: AutoMEP first analyzes your drawing's full content, the AI then plans the exact operations needed, and a second AutoCAD pass applies the changes. The result is a clean, standards-compliant DWG ready to open in AutoCAD or share with your team.

AI THAT UNDERSTANDS MEP DRAWINGS

AutoMEP's AI understands MEP-specific context: layer discipline prefixes, AIA and NCS layer naming conventions, SMACNA duct sizing standards, IPC pipe standards, and NEC electrical conventions. It reads spatial context from your drawing, including room labels and area boundaries, to make accurate placement and labeling decisions.

BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS

AutoMEP includes full job history, one-click download for every modified DWG, a built-in DWG viewer so you can inspect changes before downloading, and PDF export. Plans are available for individual users and teams. A 7-day free trial lets you evaluate the app before subscribing.

  • Insert block references (from blocks defined in the source drawing)
  • Add multileader annotations and aligned dimensions
  • Annotate areas with calculated measurements
  • Move and delete entities by handle
  • Tag pipes by length range, tag ducts by size
  • Freeze layers by prefix (e.g., all M- or E- layers)

Output:

Modified DWG download, PDF export, SVF2 in-browser viewer, per-job change summary.

Plans:

Starter, Pro, and Team tiers. All plans include a 7-day free trial.

Entity property queries: AutoMEP can apply edits to pipes, ducts, and other MEP entities but cannot currently read or report entity-level properties such as material, system type, or calculated cut length from the drawing file. These fields are not exposed in the analysis data.

Count-only requests: Requests asking for a count of entities (e.g., "how many diffusers are on this drawing?") without an accompanying edit are not supported in the current version.

Full design generation: AutoMEP is optimized for editing and annotating existing drawings, not generating a complete MEP layout from scratch.

Blocks must exist in the source drawing: Block insertion requires the block to already be defined in the uploaded DWG. AutoMEP cannot import external blocks or content libraries.
