Hello.
I am a structural-civil engineer and i am using Datacad since version...6!
I was verry :lol: happy to see double precision comming into datacad.
I can use the program to draw...manually al the details for steel structures; as long as tge structures are simple, like rectangular warehouses, things are ok; trouble begins when you need to modify things!
to make a long story short: does anyone have a macro to do steel detailing the way professional steel detailing prgrams do? (strucad, sds/2, xsteel)
no2: is it possible to develop menus like "smart entities" are, to automatically draw beams, columns, joints, etc.
the programs that i am talking about are :evil: :cry: very expensive!(over 15000usd), so, any developing intentions might be wellcome!

tavipop,

Have you looked at the macro SteelPro? What fucntionality are you looking for in a basic "Structural" program?
