most popular software for carpentry

[incasinata]

who adds other names?

as I have already written.... will make it the supermoderatrice sandra, as soon as you agree the sw to add! I hope there are no limits of voices.

 

[incasinata]

So... the polls can be maximum composed of 10 entries.
this is already made up of 9 so in theory there is only one place to add!

At this point you have to tell me if you might take some less voted sw... and put some new ones or reopen a new one!

decide calmly, then I communicate the decision and we will take any measures

hello to all
I'm a designer in a metal carpentry company. I grew up with steel draw, curious that some of you reminded me! many years ago we made a choice, obviously economical and above all dictated by the fact that the leaders "prefer" the little formation and therefore approach to technometal. What to say about this software: a disaster, overwhelmed when using slow, slender 3D, sometimes embarrassing in front of some procedures that may seem very trivial. and yet of important structures I have realized. I believe that a carpentry software must have some modesty like speed and above all a well developed 3d-2d engine. Let us not forget that our models must be "translated" into 2d tables for our workshops. I have read carefully all vs opinions/comments and supported by some videos it seems to me that advance steel along with tekla impressed me and many of you. I would like to know how as it behaves in the translation procedures 3d-2d, formalini/normalini distinct cutting etc....other aspect nn negligible I think is file management, we all know the famous bottleneck: hardware ready to land on mars and nn software at height. more specifically multicore multiprocessor, ram bankers, panic video cards but all without due surrender. based on what I just quoted, I think it's penalized as it develops under autocad.
greetings

I work for a great generation contractor and for about 7 years I work with tekla and I can assure you that we have never experienced slowness problems in our models nor in the 2d drawings and I can assure you that the models we go to manage are very big and totally detailed. certainly the cost of tekla is higher than that of the autocad applications. if I can afford to give you a good advice in addition to the cost of the software also the structure that makes you available to each dealer as well as all the services that offer the various retailers such as the assistance of the courses

I propose to change the question in "in the design of metal carpentry which software you use?" (max 2 answers)

1- generic cad (autocad, microstation, vectorworks)
2- revit structure and/or structural detailing
3-EN-C
4-prosteel
5-advanced steel
6- strucad
7.
8- mechanical cad (creo, solidworks, inventor, etc...)
9.

notes: stays out bocad, stays inside prosteel even if now devoid of a dealer seems dying to me. revit stands with strctural because the autodesk the two sells them in single package.
suggestions?

at this point, however, I would start with a new poll resetted, as it proposed to be messed up

..in this case, I will write a last post (then I close survey and discussion) with the results..... and with the link of the new discussion-breaking!
...I'll make you think about it until tomorrow and then act! :tongue:

 

[gil]

Yes, as re_solidworks says, also resetting results. also because it changes both the question and the possible answers.

p.
Can you put two polls in the same post?

if as it says messed up the limit is 10 entries we can manage the list in this way so there is also bocad:

1- generic cad (autocad 2d/3d, microstation, vectorworks)
2- revit structure and/or structural detailing
3- autocad + technometal
4-carcad + prosteel
5-autocad + advance steel
6- strucad
7.
8- bocad
9- mechanical cad (cree, solidworks, inventor, solid edge, catia, etc...)
Other

I'm in favour of allowing two choices.

- the title "in the design of metal carpentry which software you use?" (max 2 replies) for me is fine

- at this point we can also think of resetting meters leaving as the link to this post says messed up.

What else do they say?

as I have already written in another post the 2011 sae was an atrocious sadness.

the organizers put on the site a pdf with the list of exhibitors of 2010 many of which were not present at the 2011 saie.

reading in depth the pdf was the reference to 2010 but really well hidden.

the result was a day of work lost as most of the exhibitors I was interested in were listed in pdf (relative to 2010) but did not expose to saie 2011

beautiful crap.... for me the saie has closed from next year I will go to the made

when a fair uses such stratagems and halfuci means it's already on the sunset avenue

when a fair uses such stratagems and halfuci means it's already on the sunset avenue

this year I went both to the sae and to the made and also I noticed the same thing.
a remarkable decrease of exhibitors to the sae in the face of a great increase of the made

I declare closed the survey (and discussion!).
these results at 10 November 2011

run 22 41,51%autocad lt (for drawing 2d) 15 28,30%

autocad (for drawing 3d) 9 16,98%
technometal 6 11,32%
autocad + structural detailng 5 9,43%
strucad 4 7,55%
microstation 2 3,77%
vectorworks 3 5,66%
