Greg Daneshvar GD Drafting Steel Detailer

Since Graitec is not capable to export shop drawings (detail drawings) into dwg format, is it possible to add an option to create them in dwf  format in Drawing Management>Add to batch plot ?. If not how we can create them by selecting all drawings without opening  sheet by sheet?.

Couple moths ago I was surfing Graitec website & noticed a like called "Graitec Viewer" but it is not there anymore. My question is:
1-Am I correct? Was there such a link?
2-If yes, what was the purpose of it & why it has been removed?

Why Advance Steel 2011 Tutorial is still 2010? I was hopping someone would check it before uploading  into website.

Dumitru,
Thanks for reply & help. Oliver in tech support helped me to set the bevel weld in all connections.

Daniel,
Thanks for reply. Here in California %98 of our beams required either staggered holes or welded studs & applying them manually is time consuming. My point/request was to do it automatically since they have 4 types of staggered hole patterns in shear late  connection on page 245 per Advance Connection Guide which comes with 2nd CD as Documents. Hope Graitec will take care of it.

Dumitru,

Attached is a sample of a beam to column connection where I like to use C.J.P.

In Hole dialog box I like to see additional options for:
A- Staggered holes pattern on beams & have an option to apply on beam guage.
B- All threaded rods with specified diameter , length & weld type to beams.

This application is used when wood nailer is used for wood joist framing.

When Graitec will adopt FEMA 350 moment connectionrequirements?
I would like to  see the following improvements:
1-Top & bottom flanges to be cut for RBS (reduce Beam Section) values .
2-New value from face of column to face of beam web.
3-Beam web to receive miter cut for C.J.P. weld.
4-Shear tab is no longer rectangular. it is tapered. 1" horizontal,1" vertical
5-Continuity plates need gap from inner side of column flanges & be beveledalong column flange.
6-Additional fillet weld added to top flange C.J.P.

See City of Los Angeles Building Department standard details & refer toFEMA 350 publication.

Dumitru,

Can Advance Steel create field bolt on shop drawings matching to attached drawing?
See the location & information set on sides of beam.

Dimitru,
Sorry not being too specific on my question. Below is my explanations.
A-Base plate.
A1-In base plate dialog box >Anchor and  holes option there is  "Threaded Studs" to choose but when I select it anchor diameter, anchor grade and anchor assembly  boxes have no values to select & this is a type I was looking for.
A2-What is the difference between "Set" & "Set Screw"? can you convert the metric values to Imperial so we in United Stats can use?

B-End Pate
B1-In end plate dialog box "Threaded studs" can be used but there is no parameter for welding studs to end plate. The weld is only for beam/column to end plate.
B2- I have an end plate connection which requires both welded studs & holes for masonry screws (type of screw is called TITEN-HD by Simpson Co.) is there any possibility to add hole option on end plate in addition to welded studs?

Thanks again for your help.
