Updating AutoCAD MEP

AutoCAD MEP includes a notification tool called the Communication Center that keeps you informed about
service pack availability. If you are a member of the Autodesk Subscription program, the Communication
Center also notifies you of additional product information, such as extension availability, tips, and support
information. You can set the Communication Center to notify you of updates and other information daily,
weekly, or monthly, or you can update on demand. For more information, see "Overview of Communication
Center" in the AutoCAD Help.

The AutoCAD MEP 2010 Drawing Domain

The AutoCAD MEP 2010 user interface provides access to the commands and controls that enable the
production of intricate M/E/P designs. Later sections describe this workspace in detail. By way of introduction,
here are the highlights:
Ribbon
Using the Microsoft Office 2007 model, AutoCAD MEP 2010 now uses the ribbon as the central access point
for commands. The ribbon contains a number of tabs on which commands are grouped according to
conceptual task types or selected objects.
The ribbon replaces the menu bar and the toolbars as the primary command access point.
Application Menu
The application menu contains basic commands pertaining to the drawing as a whole: Open, Save, Print,
Export etc. Like the menu browser it replaces, the application menu is accessed by clicking
upper-left corner of the workspace.
