CADWorx Plant Professional Dynamic Supports

The CADWorx 2014 release saw the introduction of Dynamic 3D intelligent Pipe Supports. The "Support Modeller" Palette was completely rewritten as well as components that were added to the XML based CADWorx Catalogs and Project (*.prj) files.


Redesigned Supports can now be stretched and re-orientated with certain Object Grips on the 3D Support.


The new Support “+” reactor grips allows existing supports to be replaced with different support type on the fly and without having to reinsert a new Support Type.

Batch Plot with Advance Steel 2015

Advance Steel excels in generating automatic, fully dimensioned, completely labelled detail drawings from a 3D Steel Structure Model. 


However, now that a User has mastered the ability of generating a substantial amount of details at the click of the button, plotting these individually, almost seems like a step backwards. Lucky for Advance Steel Users, the Document Manager has a utility dedicated to plotting multiple details to a desired plotter or format automatically. This utility is known as the "Add to Batch Plot" command.


While not many are aware of this functionality, it is still very easy to use and will save all Users a huge amount of time if incorporated into their workflows.

Please follow the link below to download instructions on how to Batch Plot from the Advance Steel Document Manager.
