Create steel shapes in plan, section or elevation

The Steel Shapes module is a structural add-on for AutoCAD that easily draws w-shapes, channels, single/double angles, square & rectangular tubing, pipes, M, S, HP shapes and tees as listed in the AISC database. It also includes metric databases included MAISC and CISC if needed.

Features

• Create shapes in plan, section, elevation or single line as required.
• Create simple or complex shapes made from a single non-segmented polyline.
• Shapes are created as an AutoCAD block to keep file size minimized.
• Ability to cope ends of W-Shapes in elevation view.
• List shape properties from drawing after shape placement or within dialog box.
• All shapes are created parametrically from external data files.
• Shapes are attached to cursor based on insertion point selected and rotated after placement.
• Automatic shape notation by selecting inserted shape.
• User defined dimensions for shape details.

Steel Shapes operates using one main dialog that allows access to all shapes allowing multiple insertion points, layer, color and linetype control. In addition specify dimensions for details, before placing the shape in your AutoCAD dtrawing.

Structural Shapes are parametrically drawn in accordance with the “Manual of Steel Construction” of the American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc. Steel shapes use external data files for use with other structural standards.

All shapes are created from a single polyline and made into an AutoCAD block. Each shape has built in intelligence for automatic notation.
