Revit products have had the ability to report all interferences in a schedule since they came out, which has made them fundamentally better than looking all over the place to red lines hidden in a busy drawing in ABS/AutoCAD MEP. Well, here's a gem of an undocumented command for AutoCAD MEP. Now that's awesome!

This week I needed to create some structure from the structural engineers AutoCAD plans since they were not using Revit. It shows up fine in my drawing and I can change its length, offset and location. CAD Shack VIPs. AutoCAD vs. ABS vs. Revit Systems. Revit MEP How to Create a Lighting Fixture Schedule.

Most engineers still produce classic 2D reinforcement drawings using programs such as AutoCAD ® combined with CADS RC. MSJ started using SOFiSTiK software in 2013 as a replacement for their prior method of doing reinforcement drawings in 2D, using Autodesk AutoCAD.

Digital Platform based Shop-drawing assessment Construction Information Management has been an interest of mine for a good 30 years. The various assessor engineers typically work with flat (2D) PDF or AutoCAD files, and consider individual sheets, marking them up or adding comments.

One of the most powerful tools in ABS is scheduling. Using a predefined schedule is easy, but figuring out how that schedule works and how to customize it is not. These properties can be assigned by the designer or extracted from the object or style, linked to the object by the tag and reported by a schedule.

Why should I walk away from a proven product like AutoCAD, when I have so much invested in it? These are very valid questions that many CAD Managers and Owners are asking themselves lately. Compatibility At last, I can open any ADT drawing file without issue. Those links means I always have the correct data in my schedules.

Subcontractors are not even aware of the acronym’s existence just heard somewhere that AutoCAD was no longer the standard for shop drawings? Some CAD developer is going to turn out a really cool proprietary integrated environment and either you go with it or lose out in the market, regardless of BIM. Deal with it!
