Why This Template?

Steel Template works with AutoCAD LT® which is great if you are looking to start steel drafting for an inexpensive price. Maybe you have a new hire, maybe you are looking to get into steel drafting. Either way, this is a great way to start.

AutoCAD LT® combined with Steel Templates is an amazing, inexpensive solution for new detailers or experienced detailers who only need 2D drafting capabilities.

If you are an experienced steel detailer using Autodesk Advance Steel™ , you can still integrate Steel Templates into your user interface.

It is great for producing quick 2D shop drawings or for 2D layouts to match your 3D model up too.

Also, you can’t beat traditional looking Steel Erection Plans!!

Steel Templates is a combination of thousands of steel blocks that are combined into various Dynamic Blocks, which makes it easy for you to produce drawings quickly.

The custom user interface that comes with Steel Templates makes it fast and easy to insert steel shapes, create drawings and get work done quickly!

Steel Templates has multiple options for BOM templates. This includes traditional single and multi line text OR you can utilize our Excel Bill of Material Templates. This allows you to have your BOM open separately while still drafting within your Autodesk® software.

If you combine Steel Templates with AutoCAD LT® you can have a steel drafting system for less than $1,000 per year!!

Once you purchase Steel Templates you can use that version for as long as you would like too.

You only have to renew if you want the latest blocks and template.

It is hard and almost impossible to replace the traditional look of steel shop drawings and erection plans.

Steel Templates gives you a traditional steel drafting option at low cost.
