“Over the years, we’ve developed a large number of LISP routines for automating the creation of drawings for structural steel shapes. We simply input the type of structural steel (e.g., I-beam, tubular steel), the sizes, weight per foot, and bolting patterns, and the LISP routines automatically generate error-free drawings. Being able to use LISP routines for easily creating drawings of structural components has not only been a very important factor in our use of DraftSight, but also the key feature underlying our decision to move to DraftSight.”
