Autodesk Advance Steel - Advanced level 2

Educational goals

The aim of the training is to improve skills and automate the processes of creating steel structure documentation in Autodesk Advance Steel, including the customization and edition of tool templates enabling work automation. The ability to quickly prepare project documentation and adapt it to the requirements of the ordering party allows us to obtain new orders and meet the increasing requirements of projects.

Attendee can: 

• use non-standard numbering settings
• edit the database of the program
• edit and create own drawing prototypes
• create and edit own drawing styles
