Steel Detailing in CAD Format
AutoCAD is the most widely used CAD software in the world. It is easy to use, there is a large community behind it, a lot of documentation, and a lot of training material. Most drafters are familiar with AutoCAD and new detailers can be trained to master it with ease.
Therefore AutoCAD was an easy choice as Parabuild’s development platform. The combination of AutoCAD with Parabuild’s unique features results in an easy to use yet powerful solution for drawing 3D structural models. For steel detailing Parabuild benefits even more because of the extensive 2D and dimensioning tools in AutoCAD.
More recently BricsCAD has entered the spotlight as a solid alternative to AutoCAD, and Parabuild now runs on both platforms. BricsCAD is very similar to AutoCAD in many ways, uses the same file format, and is only a fraction of the price. Because each has its own advantages we feel the choice should be up to the detailer, so we are committed to supporting both platforms. Scroll down to read more about these two excellent programs.
