When you model a beam you have to click on enter/space/rightclick to get into the property box. There you can rotate the  beam 90 degrees or 180 degrees. Would it not be nice if you model a beam and then you can click  for instance on "CTRL" and then the beam rotate to your wish. Also maybe a key for changing the system line position before you place the beam.   Show More

This is Advance Steel 2022 and the default template/drawing styles for stairs won't fit a default grating stair tread without the text running over into the next column.   I have to go and customize my BOM templates to suit?!?!?      Do better AutoDesk this is unacceptable.   Show More

Hi, many people use the user connection commands and so often we get to the limit of them. If an object is included in the userjoint, you could not change the properties of this object.  You could change this by set the checkbox for the object editing to true, but this you had to do for every single user connection. So what is needed?  -a multi edit for user connections (because I could search for their names, but had to change the checkbox for every single joint) -or the possibility to change the object without setting the checkbox to true.   You need picture or screencast for better understanding? Just give a note   Thanks Sebastian Show More

Currently I am using rectangular pattern then using the split bolt group. Then I need to delete every other one. 😐  Show More

The bolt coating only displays on the BOM on drawings when the bolts are not displayed as 'Exploded' in the 'List sorting and content. Please implement coating mapping for exploded bolts (bolt, nut, washer).    https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/advance-steel/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Advance-Steel-Coating-for-bolts-for-BOM-on-drawings.html Show More

Dear Advance Steel Dev Team,   it could be a very usefull tool if will be given to the users the possibility to create a plate from a surface.   The command can work indentically as "plate from polyline" and can be called "plate from surface", the user can select the surface and assign it the thickness and the offset side of the plate. Obviously the command shall works for flat surface as for curved surface.   This can be a great step above for Advance Steel, that can create the possibility to talk with Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, and speed up the modeling for complex structures.   Cheers     Show More

Muttern (inkl. optionaler Scheiben / Garniturelemente) müssen sich wie Schrauben (auf Wunsch auch mit Loch) verlegen lassen. Invertieren von Senklöchern & Sacklöchern per „Klick“ Ein effektiver Schraubengenerator ist notwendig. Filter für Schrauben nach der Anzahl der Verbindungspartner (Fehlersuche). Die Anzahl der Verbindungspartner muss man vorgeben können (1, 2, 3, 1-3, ….). Bei Schraubverbindungen ist die Verwendung von Keilscheiben bei Profilen mit geneigten Flanschen zu automatisieren. Ganze Schraubenreihen mit ergänzten Strukturen wie z.B. Hutmuttern oder Sicherungsscheiben sind erforderlich. Verbindungsprüfung nach der Form „Welche Teile sind mit gewähltem Teil verbunden“. Hier ist nicht die Schweißgruppe gemeint. Die Funkion sollte schaltbar für Werkstatt- und / oder Montageverbindungen sein. Eine Verbindungsinfo ist notwendig für die Schrauben in Bezug auf Verwendung der Norm, Material, Anzahl, etc. bei der alle Garniturelemente angezeigt bzw. berücksichtigt werden.   Nuts (including optional discs / garnishing elements) must be installed as screws (also with hole).     Inverting countersinks & blind holes via "click"     An effective screw generator is necessary.     Filter for screws according to the number of connection partners (error search). The number of connection partners must be specified (1, 2, 3, 1-3, ....).     In the case of screw connections, the use of wedge washers for profiles with inclined flanges is to be automated.     Complete screw rows with supplemented structures, e.g. Cap nuts or     Fuse washers are required.     Connection test according to the form "Which parts are connected to selected part". This is not the welding group. The function should be switchable for workshop and / or assembly connections.     A connection information is necessary for the screws regarding the use of the standard, material, number, etc., in which all the garnishing elements are displayed.   Show More

Hi,     In the project explorer both for groups and queries folder structures can get created. This is great because the user can create a structure that reflects his model structure. eg: groups in folders for themes like Lots material shape types   etc.   I propose that if a folder/treeview structure is used, groups that are not visible- hidden in collapsed nodes/folders are automatically turned off! This way the user can be sure that if he is working in a certain folder of the tree (that is expanded) no groups in other folders interfere the display/ selection.of groups that are visible and turned on/ of     BR, Christian Blei         Show More

I would like to be able to add an item to an existing detail that was made with a selected items style. Currently if a new item is added that should be on this detail we have to delete that detail and make it again. Makes for a lot more work when you have to delete a detail that is cleaned up already because one item is not shown. Show More

In some situation, the text name for the cut symbol requires a rotation which is not possible if rotate it in the symbol drawing, either in Text Style. Show More

There does not appear to be an option to query for Folded Beam by thickness in either the Plate or Beam sections. This would be very helpful and I feel it may be an oversite by the dev group. Fold Beams are weird because you use them like a beam, but its IClass is Plate. Maybe this is why it was forgotten?     Show More

Currently, Advance Steel does not have an option to arrange the end plate view projected perpendicularly from sloping surfaces. An auxiliary view arrangement would add more clarity to the drawing's representation.       Show More

I often create additional views in assembly drawings and place appropriately for (in my case) 3rd angle projection. In such cases, I delete the section arrows and derived view title since they are not necessary and just add clutter to the drawing.   If the detail is updated, the section arrows come back (although the view title remains gone).   I understand you may decide you want the section arrows back in some cases so I propose this solution:   In the detail properties dialog for the derived detail, simply have a checkbox for section arrows and title to be on or off.   Clearly if off, the function "_AstM9CommDetRenumberCuts" must ignore any that are off when re-labelling other cut views.
