2D Duct drawing SOFTWARE from one-lines within AutoCAD

2D Duct drawing SOFTWARE from one-lines within AutoCAD

(OP)
Does anyone know of a simple-to-use sofware package that will do a good job of converting a one-line duct system drawing to a 2d ductwork system?  Nothing fancy needed beyond that. The software should work within AutoCAD and should give the option of sizing the duct using the static regain method or equal friction method (maybe other methods), and then it would generate and draw the 2d ductwork for the system between the unit and all supply and return air outlets.  I have seen MeMate and talked with the maker.  Its $2000, he accepts only money orders or cashiers checks and swears that he has had only one return in 7 years. He offers no 30 day return policy and only a very scaled back trial version to test it out. Any thoughts?

You may want to consider the Autodesk Building Systems software.  It has the ability to size the ductwork show it in single line, 2-d or 3-d.
