Hi, I am Lĩnh, from Vietnam,
I am developing an Visual Basic application connecting AutoCAD and ETABS. I call it 7cad ETABS. My target is to speed up the working flow from the Acad draft drawing to ETABS modeling, and from ETABS back to Acad. The idea is shown in this video [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge3oo1ib9AU&feature=youtu.be[/url] or in my blog [URL unfurl="true"]http://7cad.wordpress.com/[/url].
Link download Acad Drawing and ETABS model file in the video
In video and attached drawing, you can see how my application group frame lines in to beam, and create dozen of ETABS beam elevations all at once within 3 or 5 mouse clicks. Same technique would be applied to columns and shear walls.
The ultimate target of the application would be: do the structural design and create structural detail drawings, all directly in AutoCAD.
Please help be to share these information to your company and structural engineering friends. I am looking for advises and support and collaboration to run this programming project fulltime.
Thanks in advance.
