MEP and MEP SYSTEMS

To add a new System in MEP, the instructions directions are to OPTIONS>ATTRIBUTES>MEP Systems, except that Elements Attributes drop menu, does not show MEP.
The Attributes Manager shows the active systems but does not allow to add a new one.
It will be great to use a distinct system assignment in the job we are working.
All suggestions welcome, adn as usual thanks for your cooperation.

I'm running AC14 with MEP so things might have changed between versions but I just checked and my MEP attribute menu is there.

I don't think this would matter but you could try switching to the MEP workspace profile under Work Environment Options.

Is it possible it's not installed yet? I've done that before during a reinstall of AC to forget to reinstall the MEP add-on and spent some effort trying to figure out why my MEP wasn't working until a co-worker pointed out I didn't have it installed.

Other than that I don't have any further advice. Good luck.
I can see the picture display of your menu and that is what I expect, however, MEP Systems is not there.

Actually, MEP is installed and I am working with it, but I need additional systems and I am relying on "pen" color until I find a solution.

Thanks

It sounds like you need to adjust your work environment. The MEP installation should have added the necessary menu settings but you may have to select it in the WE manager. If you are using your own customized menus you will need to add the MEP functions manually.
It was right under my nose. Not in the Work Environment as Mathew suggested but it showa also under the DESIGN>MEP MODELING.
