I know that there already is an option to copy the registered drawings in MT, but I would like to have a third option to be prompted each time.  There are times I do want to copy the details and other times I don't.  Instead of going into MT each time or performing a full copy them deleting the documents, just prompt me and let me decide on a case-by-case basis (as an option).

Hello Dev team,    There are two things that have been driving me absolutely batty, wasting my time & messing up my drawings:   1. Dimension text "avoid overlapping" as a default. Hate it. In future releases can we make it a setting in Management Tools where the default can be changed?   2. Combining of labels. Make it manual of get rid of it entirely. When I have spent time editing & placing labels on a drawing only to have all my work undone when I run an update it costs time & frustration and drawings go out with errors on them where I missed the change. There are times when it might be useful, and I wouldn't mind the option to do it manually. But the automatic needs to go, especially with labels that have been edited. Show More

When we export a smlx. from AS & import it into Revit the bolts lose the grip lengths. I have tried it in multiple Revit versions with the same results.  Autodesk has stated that this is the case and that the SMLX file does not carry the grip length information across. They did provide a 'work around' though that would give you grips on the Revit side if "in the properties you uncheck the "Finish calculation at gap" and then once check and uncheck the "inverted" properties. This makes the grip length appear." The work around works but when you have a frame with multiple bolts it becomes cumbersome. Show More

Hi Devs, It would be really great to have a clone function in .NET API that can duplicate a plate or a beam with all their features.  Then we could move it somewhere else. Show More

It would be good if AS models can processed by viewbase since this tool is pretty good to produce 2D drawings. This is specially usefull when you have to produce a large GA with models from different software packages.   Regards, MD Show More

When you explode Advance Steel drawings, you end up with very large files, especially for single part drawings. If you purge the drawings, audit them and save them as dxf, then open them again and save them as dwg, you can reduce the size by more than 90%. It would make sense to implement this in the explode command. Show More

I really like this command which allows to cut a profile to a precis point. Start/Objects/disassociate beams. It is very practical when you want to cut a straight beam in 1 or several points. I think this command would be more powerful if we could specify the cutting distance directly in the execution of the command. ASD(AutoCAD Structural Detailing) did it very well. I would like to see this possibility also on AS. Thank you. Show More

There is a post about .nc files not creating properly the second time, when model is on a network path. "Can't write the NC file...writing file failed" when exporting NC files second time in Advance Steel | Advance Steel 2022 | Autodesk Knowledge Network   The command for the example is _AstM4CommCreateNCByStyle 1 which works for us on the network (for v2022) we cannot however run the command _AstM14CommCreateWisconNC. We need to be able to do this, we were able to in version 2019.  Is there a fix for this besides drive mapping? Show More

 Hi everyone,    Currently Advance Steel 2023 exports to IFC2x3 and IFC MVD EM.11 formats. Will export to IFC4 format also be made available soon?   TY, FGC Show More

Bonjour.    Suite à l'arrêt du développement de AutoCAD Structural Detailing, j'ai adopté Advance Stell pour mes travaux de structure. J'utilise actuellement la version 2019 d'Advance Stell.    Avec ASD, on avait la possibilité, après avoir génère un plan, (si j'avais oublié un élément, ou s'il y avait des modifications du design par ajout de nouveaux éléments dans le modèle 3D), d'intégrer les nouveaux éléments dans le groupe de sélection et de tout simplement faire une mise à jour du plan. Les nouveaux éléments étaient automatiquement ajoutés au plans.   Or, avec AS, en utilisant par exemple le style de dessin "section-pièces sélectionnées", si j'oublie un élément pendant ma sélection, il faudra effacer le plan et refaire un autre plan avec une nouvelle sélection. Si après une première révision, le client demande à ajouter des goussets ou des profiles, il faudra supprimer le plan déjà crée, générer un nouveau plan, avec les annotations qui vont avec. S'il était possible, comme avec ASD, de juste ajouter les nouveaux éléments dans le groupe de sélection et de faire une simple mise à jour du plans, ceci aurai été vraiment mieux.   J'espère m'être exprimé avec suffisamment de clarté. Merci pour cette opportunité. Show More

Can we add Thai metal members in advance steel? . Can you can give us updated database or suggestion for Thai Members? Please check attached image for more ref. Show More

I have been investigating the correct Tube Bend Radius because I have had some complaints with the 1.5*Diameter within the Handrailing Joint Macro, I have been told the rule of thumb for tube bending should be 2*Diameter. Could you please add this to the amend / update list. Show More

Suppose AS has assigned 2 different part numbers to parts and you thought they were omogeneous. Is it a real difference or a modelling error? It would be useful, once selected these 2 parts, to plot the 2D details of the 2 parts and mark what differences are between the two. Show More

Suppose you modelled a lot of parts, numbered them, detailed them. Suppose you now want to add a specific simple detail to each ot these parts, identically. Let's say one more hole, one punch, one notch, ... It would be useful to apply these simple modifications directly into the 2D detail and get them applied to the whole model. Or open the part itself in 3D, modify it, and then apply to all. Sort of block editing, or special part, but without the mess of creating a SP each time. Smart one for all editing of repeated (automatically identified) equal parts. Show More

When I create my assemblies I highlight the assembly and change all parts in that assembly to the same layer, This includes members, plates, welds, bolts & anchors. So for example when I turn of the beam layer everything associated with that layer turns of. It took a while to get used to this method but now I find I can get around a busy model with a lot less clutter. Before I did this when I turned of the beam layer I was left with the plates, bolts & welds just sitting in mid air and it was hard to  know what belongs top what. I would like to see a quicker way of grouping these components into a layer Show More

I would like the ability to extend or trim to an XLine. At the moment I cant do that and cant see a lot of difference between xline and line Show More

When using the Model Browser and changing from "Sort by Single Part" to "Sort by Assembly" it can often take a very long time and then other times it changes almost instantly. There seems to be an inconsistency here and it would be good to fix as I'm a big fan of the Model Browser Show More

When I use the Document manger and update files I always find the the file list always expands open and I have to continually close it. Is this only my problem or is it everyone's problem.  I would have thought this was fix would be very easy.  Show More

It would be a great time saver if we didn't have to perform a "Force Update" every time we wanted to see our drawings updated. Of course we want the drawings updated when we make a change, so why can't these updates be made in the background while we continue to work in the model? It's kind of nice that the Document Manager can remain open, but even that has its limitations with updates. I've also noticed that these Forced Updates take much longer in v2023. Thanks to the programmers for all their efforts! Show More
