AutoCAD Structural Detailing 2011 includes enhancements to detailing tools, fabrication drawings, and usability/collaboration. New features include reinforcement bar shape code recognition, improved steel connections modeling, copying openings between stories, and a 64-bit version for better performance. It also integrates with Autodesk Revit Structure 2011 and imports data from Robot Structural Analysis and RTD files. The software supports reinforcement codes for Germany, Austria, New Zealand and Australia as well as steel codes for Germany and Austria.
