AutoCAD Advance Steel enables users to create comprehensive models at a much faster speed while maintaining accuracy. How cool is that.AutoCAD Advance Steel is a powerful engineering software dedicated to providing users with additional efficiency when designing and detailing of steel structures.

Hit Enter, and wait for it to do its magic. You may get a message that not all objects can be exploded.Ħ.When it asks you to select objects type ALL.Check that you have a backup of the file.The command that is being run when you choose the Explode to ACIS right mouse option is ASTOREXPLODETOACIS. Not any longer, and this is where I need to check that you are sitting down when you read this. So are we forced to go back to the method I described earlier? The Solution That’s because not all of the objects in the file need to be exploded. But if I select all the objects in the file and then right mouse click there is often no Explode to ACIS option to pick. So below I have selected just one column, and when I right mouse click you can see there is an option to explode it to an ACIS solid.Īll is fine so far. Surely you can just select all of the objects in the file and explode them to ACIS all in one move. Repeat for all of the Advance Steel object types in the model. So I have had customers not wanting to use this process because it is painful selecting an object, then selecting similar, and then exploding to ACIS for all the types of elements in the model. NOTE: You can’t magically turn the ACIS solids back to Advance Steel intelligent objects. So take a copy of the file first, and then follow the process on the copied file. When you explode Advance Steel objects to ACIS solids, they lose all of their Advance Steel properties. One option is to explode the Advance Steel objects to ACIS solids. So you need to send a 3D DWG of your Advance Steel model, but the sub-contractor doesn’t have Advance Steel.
