Now, this can be controlled via a management default. In older versions if you had a plate with a tab welded above and below you would get 2 views on the DXF file, once for each face. One side DXF for plates – DXF Files for plates can now always be created with only one face.This could have caused problems where users working on cloud storage or file management systems like Vault.In previous versions of Advance Steel when you opened the document manager, right-clicked on an object, opened the model browser the system would check if the drawings or other documents registered to the model were found in the correct folder if they were not then they would get deregistered.Document management drawing registration – Drawings and other documents that need to stay registered to the model will not automatically be deregistered if they are not found next to the model (in the relative folder path) during specific modelling commands.

This is controlled via a management default, so you have control over how the stretch works. Keep holes in position during stretch – When you stretch a beam this new option allows you to keep the holes in their original position in relation to other connecting elements.This can be done as a one off on an individual label or controlled globally via the management defaults. Middle leader line for labels – This now allows users to align a leader line with the middle of the text instead of the underline option.Selected objects for Camera’s – This new feature allow users to select the elements that you want to show in a GA view, this is a huge improvement for generating GA drawings and will allow users to show exactly what they want on a GA using the camera workflows.This blog will run through what’s new in Advance Steel 2022. Advance Steel 2022 has now been released! You can download the version from your Autodesk account at or from your Autodesk desktop app.
