CAx ToolBox
The ideal extension for AutoCAD MEP
The CAx ToolBox extends AutoCAD MEP so building-services planners can work immediately with trade-specific presets. Time-consuming setup of templates, drawing standards, display sets, and styles is either eliminated or reduced to a minimum.
In addition to adjustments and extensions to the fitting and component data library, the CAx ToolBox adds restructured defaults, improved settings, and its own CAD tools.
Everything included for higher planning efficiency
The CAx ToolBox helps teams start faster, work more productively, and extend AutoCAD MEP with building-services-specific functions that are not included by default.
Get started faster
Work immediately with extensive trade-specific presets for building-services planning.
Work more productively
Reduce effort through extra CAD tools, calculations, annotations, and component lists.
Get more out of AutoCAD MEP
Use building-services-specific extensions that AutoCAD MEP does not offer as standard.
