# 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.
