SSI has released a new version of its flagship AutoCAD based CAD/CAM application: ShipConstructor 2017 R2. This software release[ds_preview] streamlines reviews and planning and provides dramatic productivity increases in HVAC modeling. Software representations of HVAC parts have been enhanced, export functions added. Also inlet and vane turn elbows have been introduced. This feature enables more accurate modeling, increases manufacturability and streamlines processes. There are now greater choices and increased efficiency and flexibility when modeling, generating production output and creating reports.
Product Hierarchy User Defined Attributes (UDAs) inherited by structure parts are now visible in AutoCAD Properties. This means that they can be exported to Autodesk Navis works for review or for sharing drawings with people who do not have access to the original Product Hierarchy tree. The benefit of this is that users can now more easily identify groups of structural parts. That makes reviews, material movement and planning for steel cutting much easier.
