What are the electrical system design improvements in AutoCAD MEP 2009?
Substantial improvements have been made to the electrical functionality of AutoCAD MEP 2009 software. Circuit Manager is now a modeless window similar to the Tool palettes or Properties palette so it can be kept open during design. Demand factors have been revised, and new load categories have been added to manage demand factor values for electrical devices. Panels can be linked together, and loads are shared across panels with appropriate demand factors applied. Panel-to-panel connections are shown offset in Circuit Manager. The electrical project database is now a separate, nonproduction file (.epd file extension). Panel schedules are now based on AutoCAD tables, so you can easily create table styles based on company standards.
