VBA Program for STAAD to CAD

Well hello all,
The image above is the UI of my application that extracts data from Staad.Pro and places it in AutoCAD environment. Currently it supports only the hot rolled I-sections of all the libraries in Staad environment.

Tools required are .... 1. Staad.Pro V8i or 2007 2. AutoCAD 2009

To use this following are the steps...

In staad ---->

1. Open staad file with model of the structure...
2. Go to Tools and then use cut section for cutting a required frame line that is to be drawn in AutoCAD
3.Select All the members that are there in the newly cut view.....make sure that nothing else is selected in other views....
4. Done now just minimize the Staad.Pro Environment

In AutoCAD---->
5. After minimizing the Staad.Pro just run the STAAD2CAD utility and select the plane in which the structural members were cut i.e. XZ plane or XY plane or ZY plane....
6. keep the scale to be 1000 if you want the natural scale
7. adjust text height, select various layers to be assigned to lines of members.....and thats it wiat till everything finishes.... the progress bar will show up the progress of drafting.....

thats it clos e the uitility and see the results...... :)....any suggestions are welcome..... :)

    I guess I am the only one who came here to share my very own experience. Guess what!? I am using my laptop for almost the past 2 years, but I had no idea of solving some basic issues. I do not know how to Download Cracked Application and Download crack pro software or any other basic crack version. I always really on others to solve my basic issues. But thankfully, I recently visited a website named Azharpc.org
