StrucPLUS Core for AutoCAD

If you already have full AutoCAD® and want an add-in that will increase productivity and automate structural detailing immediately, StrucPLUS is perfect.
StrucPLUS is the most comprehensive set of tools ever designed for the job and is founded by years of hands-on detail drafting experience. With StrucPLUS you'll be using the most popular steel, concrete and civil detailing software in the world.

For several decades professional detailers have been maximizing their productivity by using specialized routines that automate tedious and repetitive CAD tasks and ensure accurate and consistent results.
StrucPLUS users typically report a 10x productivity increase over regular AutoCAD alone – Add that time saving up for every drawing over time and you’ll see why StrucPLUS has been the #1 structural plug-in since the 80’s and to this day. The initial cost being recovered sometimes on the first job!

Get good fast The menus and commands are structured in such a way that AutoCAD or BricsCAD users are productive in less than an hour. Each command is either self explanatory or provides a dialog driven menu that you simply complete. A series of self help videos and a good old fashioned printable manual also show you how to use the commands.
