Steel Sections
Steel Shapes operates using one main dialog that allows access to all shapes allowing multiple insertion points, layer, color and linetype control. In addition specify placement and rotation of the shape in your AutoCAD dtrawing.
Structural Steel Sections
Structural Shapes are drawn in accordance AISI, AISC or ANSI specifications. Steel shapes use structural standards and are drawn to scale.
