Since those early days, steel detailing software followed two paths, integrating itself fully with AutoCAD or running stand-alone. Back then, AutoLISP was not yet added to AutoCAD, and so BASIC was pretty much the only game in town. This allowed steel members to be cut to size, copped, and beveled as needed. A handful of visionary entrepreneurs developed software for the steel industry by piggybacking it on AutoCAD, and so were able to produce complete sets of steel detailing drawings and then upload code to NC machines. AutoCAD had launched just a couple years earlier and it was rather quickly becoming the CAD software for the masses. I first saw steel detailing software in action in the mid 1980s at the AISC Steel Conference.
A two week test of GRAITEC’s Advance Steel shows its power and proves its capability for structural steel detailing.
