Revit MEP 2012 Update 2 – September 2011

In case you are too lazy to search to the Autodesk site... I've posted it here

Update 2 is not a full install; rather it is using service pack technology similar to AutoCAD®- based products. Update 1 is built into Update 2, so you don't need to worry about installing the first one before installing the second one.
Improvements made in Update 2 build (20110916_2132):
