AI-Powered

AI agent workflows that automate repetitive Advance Steel tasks

Give your AI agent the tools to copy the dimensions and labels of a finished detail drawing onto similar assemblies, check numbering before drawings are created and pull material lists out of an Advance Steel model. Automate repetitive work using your project standards.

Agent Workflows

Give your AI agent a task and review the results.

Full workflow access requires a paid plan.

Copy detailing to a similar assembly

Save the dimensions and labels of a finished assembly drawing and apply them to the drawing of a similar assembly. Review where each one would go before anything is created.

Put annotation back after an update

Run a saved template again after a drawing update. Only what is missing is added, so nothing is duplicated.

Check numbering before drawings

See how many parts and assemblies have marks, how many do not and whether numbering is up to date. Run numbering once you have reviewed the report.

Create drawings and check the sheets

Run one of your drawing processes for the assemblies you name. Open each new drawing and check that every view sits on the paper.

Export a material list

Build a material list grouped by part mark, with quantities, sizes, materials and weights, and the bolts on their own sheet. Save it as a spreadsheet.

Correct properties across the model

Find the parts with the wrong material, role or coating and correct them in one pass. Review the value before and after for every part first.
