Smart. Simple.
The Marvin Design System is more than just CAD symbols. It’s a complete design and specification software package that enables architects and builders to take full advantage of the design opportunities afforded by the Marvin product line.
The software includes drawings and details for over 11,000 standard products, as well as the ability to spec custom products. A unique, automatic rule base checks for invalid options and designs that exceed product limitations.

MDS installation and upgrades
If you are running an older version of MDS, it must be uninstalled before installing the current version of MDS (18.2).
Note for AutoCAD users, if trying to use MDS in AutoCAD, type MDS at the Command Prompt to initialize MDS.
