Automated Drawing Creation
"Advance Steel was a key element in enabling us to achieve the required delivery, due to its easy modelling of complex structures and environments."

Automated Drawing Creation
![]() |
Once the design is completed, Advance Steel offers a wide range of automated functions to create all the fabrication and general arrangement drawings. A large range of formats (e.g A4 to A0) and different page layout templates are available. Each detailed drawing is created as an individual DWG file. The details are automatically labelled and dimensioned. The drawing layout may be customised to specific requirements using drawing style manager. In addition to the creation of construction drawings, Advance Steel also provides complete structural estimation: volume of concrete, surface of formwork, etc. |

General Arrangement Drawings

- Automated creation of an isometric view from the project, with many different label possibilities.
- 2D drawings, such as elevation, anchor or roof plans are automatically labelled and dimensioned.
- Function for automated view creation on the drawing for special situations such as a complex detail or a base point with the foundation.
- Flexibility in the choice of the presentation rules for the details.
Fabrication Drawings
- Creation of individual fabrication drawings for single and assembly parts,
- Automated drawing creation by processes,
- All parts are automatically dimensioned and labelled with the required information,
- Dimension lines can be presented as Relative, Running or Ordinate,
- Function for part unfolding and tube templates,
- Required cuts from the main view will be created automatically.
The Final Touch
- Automated creation of a view when adding a cut line or other detail,
- Ability to change scale, clipping the presentation of the details within the drawing,
- Additionally dimension lines (eg. Arc, Angle...) can be created and modified,
- Quick additional label insertion by selecting the desired information directly from the model.
