StrucPro is available for AutoCAD 14, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Using StrucPro is similar to using a library of AutoCAD blocks; however, StrucPro’s parametric capabilities provide the user much more speed, power and flexibility. When you use AutoCAD blocks in a structural drawing you must search and find a suitable block to modify, import the block; modify the block to conform to the current design, etc.  With StrucPro this process is simple because the detail is parametrically defined up front by answering a few simple questions. This process the automatically customizes the details to your exact needs, eliminating much of the additional time spent modifying generic AutoCAD blocks.

Tools:

A general set of tools used to set up drawings and manage colors, text styles and layers. This menu also contains macros for creating drawing labels, callouts, notes and symbols as well as a number of tools to assist in geometry generation such as copy with rotation, move with rotation and multiple copy.

Concrete:

Details for reinforced concrete beam sections & elevations, reinforced concrete columns, footings and pile caps, suspended slab framing plans, precast concrete panels, prestressed tendon layouts & beam elevations, plan and slab section reinforcement, reinforced concrete & masonry retaining walls, slabs on grade, concrete stairs, concrete and masonry walls, and miscellaneous concrete symbols

Steelwork:

Details and drawing tools for all common steel members in section, elevation & plan for American sections (as well as many international sections), cleats and connections, steel framing plans and elevations, stairs, schedules, truss elevations, floor beams, rafters, columns, bracing, struts, stairs, handrails, cleats, and bracing gussets.

Detailer:

The commands in this menu are geared toward the production of shop drawings for beams, girders, columns, rafters, bracing, tubes, angles, stairs, ladders and handrails. It is also used to generate material leaders and lists.

Material Management:

A very important function of StrucPro is its material management system. The system is simple and very effective. As you draw details with StrucPro, you will be prompted to insert material leaders. The leaders are attributed blocks that store information about what they are pointing to. When the Bill of Material command is run, StrucPro automatically searches the drawing for material leaders and extracts their data. StrucPro then uses this data to automatically create your Bill of Materials. Due to the system’s simplicity, the material leaders can be placed on anything in the drawing—allowing you t add any piece to the Bill of Materials at any time. StrucPro also provides and automatic Field Bolt utility that works in much the same way.
