MEP - electrical

Am I missing something or are there no export dictionaries for AutoCAD MEP electrical to ArchiCAD? When trying to export some conduit created in AutoCAD I get message ** There is no exportable MEP object in the drawing!

Cannot really understand your question.

Are you trying to import AutoCAD MEP into ArchiCAD, or do you somehow want to export ArchiCAD elements in a way that they show up in AutoCAD MEP as MEP elements?

Please give your version/platform information.

The ArchiCAD MEP add-on (extra cost option) lets you import AutoCAD MEP.

Cheers,
Karl

Yes I am exporting from AutoCAD MEP (electrical conduit) and importing into ArchiCAD MEP for further editing. The ArchiCAD connection in AutoCAD MEP has a listing of "export options (dictionaries)" mapping of parts to parts . There doesn't seem to be one related to electrical. Again I could be missing something, but even in ArchiCAD MEP I only see cable trays, no conduit (there is piping)
