ThankyouforchoosingAutoCADStructuralDetailing.TheSteelmoduleisatoolforgenerating

and

The
exercises
in
thisguidegiveyouastartingpointforpreparationofyourownprojects.
GettingStarted
Before beginning the exercises, you need to install and register the software.
AutoCADStructuralDetailing software comeswith theAutoCADRevitStructure
Suite.Thissoftwareisavailablefor32bitand64bitWindowssystems.
ExploringtheUserInterface
OpenAutoCAD StructuralDetailing, Steelmodule, and take aminute to view the
differentareasoftheinterface.
Ribbon
At the topof the interface is the standardMicrosoftWindowselement ribbon.
The ribbon isanelementof theuser interfacewhich replaces the traditionalmenu
and toolbars and allows easymanaging and adjusting theworkspace. The ribbon
consistsof severalpanels,groupedon tabs thatarenamedby taskor subject.The
ribbonpanelsincludemanyAutoCADStructuralDetailingcommandsthathavebeen
