bocad software supports designers and engineers in creating digital models, integration into BIM projects, automated labels, manufacturing and assembly drawings as well as digital order files. The program covers the areas of steel, wood and facade construction as well as marine systems and mast building. According to the manufacturer, all new functions in BOCAD 2024 increase ease of use and speed of work, as well as data exchange between project participants.
SmartInfo provides information about components
The new version contains SmartInfo. SmartInfo extends intelligent functionality with a turbo database query for model validation, which ultimately serves quality assurance. SmartInfo instantly displays information about a component or screw when the cursor identifies the desired item – a selection that is highlighted by color in all views and graphics. Information such as position number, material or profile is individually configured by the user. The function can be easily turned on and off using the F1/2 key. Designers themselves determine when they need information and in what form.
