We are excited to announce that Steelcad is now using Tekla Structures (TS) 2024. Let us tell you why this is a big deal!
As many companies can attest to, when upgrading TS versions, we generally carry along past settings and files. Steelcad is no different. For years we have carried previous TS settings and custom files as well as add to them along the way.
TS 2024 marks a new beginning at Steelcad. Out of a desire to enhance our productivity and efficiency, boosted by 18 years’ experience of our lead developer, we have meticulously combed over all files from custom UDA names to component saved settings, drawing settings, templates, reports, NC and DXF export, and the list goes on. We have tested new options (eg RGB colours), components and extensions to see how much more we can extract out of this software.
A part of Steelcad’s drawing office operations is the use of TS API which enables us to create apps and plugins. Again, TS 2024 marks a new era of this. Our primary app, SD Model Manager (SD MM), has been rebuilt from the ground up to enhance the performance of TS, improve the user-experience and accelerate our detailer’s efficiency both in the model and drawing environments. SD MM will continue to get improvements in the coming months, such as the ability to check drawings electronically. With 3 of our software programmers busily working away on different tools, our sights are set high for this project.
