It's outputs is very clumsy and more need to work in drawing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is user-friendly, runs very well... it brings all the functionality of AutoCAD with many added en-suite tools... very good for creating steel structures & connections, along with pipe racks and even concrete foundations... Creating Detail Sheets and Assembly Drawings is very straightforward... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very little to dislike with Advance Steel. As with any program, there have been a few bugs here and there. But, Autodesk is usually good about getting a hotfix out fairly quickly... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The facts that I switched to Tekla. Much better support and worth the higher price tag Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Something as simple as connecting to a concrete column or wall with a steel beam doesn't work. The basic training was horrible. They took some tech with zero people skills and put her on the phone for 2 weeks of useless training. After the 3 year subscription was up Graitec then refused to refund $2400 in unused training hours. Very bad experience. I would steer clear of this program and company.

Advance steel helps me a lot as there are a big variety at connections of steel structure also you can customise your details to match your design also you can direct transfer the drawings easily to other softwares for design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike in advance steel is that when you are drawing you have to be at the level that you want to draw on 3D and there is no option to draw free on different levels fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the fact that you can input loads for the connection through the connection vault Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am not a fan of the fact that if you alter a small part that it does not automatically delete the part number so unless you manually delete the part number you end up with 2 different parts with the same name. I learned this through a fabrication error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using macros and updating changes in drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Using macros is only available in global XY YZ and XZ planes. It is useless in other user defined planes. I am modelling self supported towers for communication companies and it would me helpfull if AS has "wizard" for these type of structures, like it has for stairs.
