Sharing drawings is necessary in many stages of the drawing development cycle. For example, you may be asked to add a mechanical, electrical, or plumbing system to a drawing that was created in another software program. AutoCAD MEP 2023 toolset provides an object enabler so that you can work with custom objects contained in the drawing.
This section describes the tools available for sharing your AutoCAD MEP 2023 toolset drawings. Each segment describes a tool and how it is accessed.
If you open a drawing that includes a custom object that was not drawn in AutoCAD MEP 2023 toolset, AutoCAD MEP 2023 toolset installs an object enabler, if one is available. If an object enabler is not available, the software uses proxy graphics to display objects. You can enable proxy graphics in the Options dialog box.
