Solution: Why is Autodesk discontinuing AutoCAD Structural Detailing? Autodesk® AutoCAD® Structural Detailing software has been a solution for customers who needed to perform basic modeling and documentation to generate steel and rebar shop drawings as well as concrete modeling and general arrangement drawings. However, Autodesk is aggressively investing in new structural detailing solutions that support a wider range of modeling and documentation needs, while providing improved team collaboration and user productivity. Autodesk believes that these new solutions are better suited to meet the range of our global customer needs.
What alternate solutions does Autodesk offer for steel detailing workflows? Autodesk® software supports more advanced structural modeling and detailing capabilities, and provides tools that help drive fabrication. This fills an important gap in the steel design to construction workflow. Advance Steel is built on the AutoCAD® platform, providing a familiar user interface, helping to support a faster, smoother transition from AutoCAD® products. Key benefits of Advance Steel:. Integrates with Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Navisworks® software products for building projects. Integrates with Autodesk® AutoCAD® Plant 3D software with object-enabler technology and Navisworks for industrial projects.
Provides comprehensive modeling libraries of profiles and connection types. Highly customized for local steel standards including steel connection design. Helps reduce shop errors by producing NC & CNC files directly from the 3D model and connecting these models directly with leading MIS software.
