Suggestion for best software to make estimation easier

[Anonymous]

Dear All,

I'm a working in a small company which manufactures AC ducts. I JUST NEED TO KNOW ONE THING REGARDING THE BEST SOFTWARE TO USE FOR AC Ducts Fabrication  & Estimation. Is there a way to Import the CAD Drawings Automatically to CAMDuct Fabrication & Get the Quantity List & Total Quantity Quickly  rather than entering it manually in Camduct.

The best software for this is Autodesk fabrication. You can draw your fabrication shop drawings within CADMEP. Cademep can be exported as an MAJ file "createcam" command. The maj file can be read in Estmep the Estimating software or manufactured in CAMDuct the fabrication software. 
Note: All 3 require the same database to get the best results and there is a lot of setting up to do.
