Architectural Desktop 3.3 UK. (Management News and Products).


Autodesk has announced the availability of a UK & Ireland Content Library for the latest version of its building design software solution, Autodesk Architectural Desktop (ADT) 3.3. The Content Library allows users to customise their designs by providing them with a range of ADT styles, symbols and documentation configured specifically for the UK and Ireland.. The library also provides additional utilities and tools to enable users to create their own styles, which conform to the same conventions. Also included is a utility for publishing custom styles into new i-drop web pages for deployment across a design team.

Templates are pre-set with drawing units, drawing scales, annotation plot sizes and layer standards for use in a typical project. They also contain basic sets of object styles and display controls specific to working with objects in ADT. Typical ADT styles control the dimensions, design roles and standard size for objects such as doors, walls, windows and stairs. The new content library enables designers to use Autodesk i-drop technology to drag and drop these styles from i-drop enabled websites into the ADT 3.3 environment. By extension, they can then use the styles on drawings they are working on using ADT 3.3 software. In addition, the library extends the range of content in terms of symbols and scheduling in the `Metric\Design' section of the `AutoCAD Design Centre'. Most of these symbols had previously been available in the `Imperial' and `Metric DACH' libraries. For added user convenience, in the new content library, they have been re-scaled in millimetres and are installed to the `Metrsection of the AutoCAD Design Centre. These symbols are available as standard AutoCAD Blocks and ADT MvBlocks.
