I wonder what is the best program. To make modeling and fabrication drawings too.
Thank you!

I did a 30 trial with them and I'm highly considering switching. It seems more stable (my ASD crashes all the time) and all of their macros are able to do what I need much quicker and easier. With ASD I mostly make connections manually because the macro isn't customizable enough. Also, Advance Steel has master/slave connections which would make my job so much easier.
At the moment, though, we're very busy and I don't have the time to learn a new program 😕
Hello Jianna,
Thanks, I'm thinking the same. I also did the 30-day trial and it was very good.
When I spoke with Graitec they told me that they were still the resellers of Advance Steel and that they would still be the ones providing support for the program.
Yes, Advance steel will be available in market through Autodesk from mid of this year. I am waiting for this product, as it is very difficult to get a trial version in India for this product. I am sure it will be more effective than ASD Steel as seen in the video tutorials. Integration with Revit will be great advantage !!!
How do you know that a ready to use software, superior to ASD will be available at midyear 2014????
It seems that Advance Steel is NOT included in this years (2014) Plant Design Suite so I guess it will have to be purchased on its own.
I love watching the following Youtube video. Advnce Steel seems so amazing. Can't wait to use it.
10 minute glance at Advance Steel - YouTube
To see what advance steel has to offer and access to free trial got to the following page:
AutoDesk Advance Steel Overview
Also there is a link/plugin with Revit which enables the transfer of model from Advance Steel to Revit, Revit to Advance Steel:

That is saying:
"After years of failed experiments like Revit Structure and ASD that lead to nothing; Autodesk took the decision of buying the competitors much better software.
Those who believed and supported Autodesk with their year after year upgrade for nothing are obliged now to buy Advance Steel and Advance Concrete".
We paid upgrades, courses, and wasted time.
Autodesk has framed us for years.
What should have to be an apology is again an offence to customers and users.
Shame on you Autodesk.
