Use curve connectors to connect new objects anywhere along the centerlines of existing objects. Use end connectors to connect new objects to the ends of existing objects. There are 2 types of AutoCAD MEP 2022 toolset snaps: end connectors (often referred to as just connectors) and curve connectors. When you snap the pipe to the run, the software creates a valid connection, which maintains the integrity of the pipe system. For example, if the snaps for pipes are turned on, you can draw a pipe and connect it to an existing pipe run.

You can use the snaps to quickly and precisely draw a system that is fully connected. AutoCAD MEP 2022 toolset snaps are available for schematic, duct, pipe (also used for plumbing), electrical, and wire way systems (cable tray or conduit). These enable you to snap objects intelligently to other building system objects, thereby creating valid connections with existing systems. For example, you can snap to the endpoint of a line, or snap to the intersection of 2 lines. These are standard AutoCAD snaps that allow you to snap drawing points to geometric locations on other objects.
