Autodesk Advance Steel

Autodesk Advance Steel Overview

Autodesk Advance Steel introduces is a structural steel design application integrated into the latest version of AutoCAD. The Advance Steel model is the basis for 3D design. It contains and manages structural steel objects (for example, beams, plates, bolts, welds), as well as structural elements and relationships between objects. Complex structures are created using Advance Steel structural elements (such as a portal frame or staircase), which include all the necessary elements, assemblies and connections. The Advance Steel program is adapted for the development of both standardized and non-standard structures. It has a large selection of cold rolled bent sections and lattice structures from common manufacturers (Albion, Ayrshire, Canam Manac, Canfer, Fisher, HiSpan, Kingspan, Krupp, Metsec, SAB, SADEF, Staba, StructuralSections, Ward, Zeta, etc.). You can create custom custom sections and other elements and save them in tables (libraries) for repeated use.

Autodesk Advance Steel Features

– The version of SQLLocalDB used in Advance Steel for content databases has been updated to SQLLocalDB 2019.
– An issue where holes were not placed correctly in the Ayrshire CAM output file has been resolved.
– Removed some outdated icons from the Advance Steel ribbon.
– Fixed an issue where removing a bend line on a bent plate would create additional holes.
– Documentation changes required for Visual Studio 2022.
– Fixed untranslated strings in German specification templates.
– Fixed an issue where labeled arrows would not appear in Quick Rendering mode.
– Fixed an issue where the page frame would disappear when changing the prototype in the details section.
– Resolved an issue where variable beams, polyprofiles, and meshes could not be selected as an object for the camera when the STARTUP system variable was set to 0.
– Resolved an issue where using the Convert Datums tool from The management tools were unable to convert the MDB file to an MDF file.
– When a database saved with SQLLocalDB 2014 (the version of SQL used in previous versions of Advance Steel) is opened using the Table Editor from Management Tools, a copy is created in the folder where the original database is located, and then the original is converted to SQLLocalDB 2019. The copy has the same name as the original database and the suffix “_backup” and can be opened using SQLLocalDB 2014.
– Fixed display of edge preparation preference values ​​in the weld properties window.
– Hidden lines are now shown when orbiting using the 3D Wireframe visual style for the German model template.
– Fixed an issue where the contour machining gap width value was automatically borrowed from a previously created contour machining operation.
– Resolved an issue where deleting one of the callouts for a weld symbol with multiple leaders would not remove the arrow if the arrow type was other than Closed Filled.
– Improved accuracy of the angle value when copying a circular pattern using the advanced copy tool.
– Fixed the mode for resizing two dialog boxes in the “Drawing Styles” interface: selecting size points and selecting a view.
– Fixed an issue with saving default values ​​for flexible stops assigned to model roles when they were created.
– Fixed an issue where flex stops would not have access to flex stop roles in the model.
– Fixed an error that occurred when performing various operations simultaneously with automatic saving.
– Resolved an issue where using the Show Selected Brands Only command required too much time and memory resources.
– Improved description of the “Total number of main parts” marker in BOM lists.
– Fixed an issue that caused Advance Steel to crash after expanding the Details node in Document Manager.
– Fixed a crash that occurred when editing the list of objects in the menu for adapting tooltips for rollovers.
– Fixed an issue that caused the program to freeze when selecting a deleted item in the Collision Check panel.
– Resolved an issue where the Advance Steel Object Adapter would sometimes cause Navisworks to crash when loading Advance Steel files.

FAQ

Question: What is an addon?
Answer: Many users of “vertical” AutoCAD products have noticed that any modern AutoCAD product with advanced functionality consists, in fact, of AutoCAD as the basis and add-on Mechanical, Electrical, Architecture, etc. Alas, the developers, as before, only publish full-format distributions . That is, if you want to get Mechanical and Architecture, you are forced to download two huge packages, most of the contents of which duplicate each other. In this regard, I decided to start releasing a new type of distribution that contains only the add-on. Now, to install the same Mechanical and Architecture, you will need to download basic AutoCAD and two small add-ons. Less downloading, more compact storage – this is the main idea of ​​assemblies in this format!

Question: What is the program medicine?
Answer: The drug included in the assembly is based on a hacked network licensing mechanism (NLM) from the MAGNiTUDE hack group. Well, the author of the assembly wrapped it all in a convenient shell that allows you to apply the medicine in one click, and slightly supplemented it with his own “bells and whistles.”

Question: What is the compatibility of the medicine used in the assembly with other Autodesk programs?
Answer: As for the 2025 line, the medicine is compatible with most popular Autodesk programs that had already been released at the time of release of the assembly. As for compatibility with lower-line programs, such compatibility is also available. Installing this program will kill the activation of products from the 2020-2024 lines. But this activator will heal them again! The only thing is, if your 2020-2021 products were activated with a keygen, the activation format will change to network. Activation of products from 2019 and below lines will not be affected in any way.

Question: I need the Autodesk Access module to communicate with Autodesk servers. How to install it?
Answer: From my AutoCAD 2025 build, on top of which this addon should be installed, run ..x64AccessAdAccess-installer.exe. Once the installation is complete, restart your computer and everything will work. I would especially like to draw your attention to the fact that the installation must be done after using the medicine, since it forcibly “jams” Autodesk Access!

Question: The program is not installed. A message appears about preparation for installation, which closes after a couple of seconds and the installation stops. What’s wrong?
Answer: There is a problem with the compatibility of different versions of the installer. Follow the instructions from the Autodesk website. Don’t think that it is for solving another problem – the method will work in this case too.

Question: The program is not installed. A 400x series error message appears. What to do?
Answer:To get started, check out the explanation of error codes and brief recommendations for solving problems installing Autodesk products. If this does not help, then you can only find out the causes of the problem yourself by reading the installation logs. Autodesk has a utility that intelligently collects the necessary logs scattered across different folders of the operating system.
