The biggest piece in
the AutoCAD MEP feature list is sloped piping. |
|
Sanitary Drain and
Waste systems can now be drawn as easily as ductwork or pipe layouts with the
new sloped piping functionality in Kraken. A new parameter called “Angle of
Deflection” has been added to all pipe connectors, including ones on MvParts.
The Angle of Deflection value is the allowable angle at which pipes are still
considered to be connected. |
|
Ability to specify
male and female connections: Pipe fittings have updated behavior based on
their Connector Engagement Length (CEL) values. Parts with CEL of 0 are male
and the connectors are located at the outer face of the parts. Fittings with
CEL values greater than 0 are female and the connector location is moved into
the fitting based on the CEL value. You can also use the joint direction
option on the Properties Palette to specify the preferred male‐female
orientation when drawing with AutoLayout. |
|
We now support Y and
angled T: You now have the ability to draw tees at non‐90 degree angles
during AutoLayout. As part of your Routing Preferences, you can pick which
part to use in these scenarios. |
