SoftScan is a robust, stand-alone software system
that reads any DWG, DXF or 3D-Cad/SmartCad file directly, and creates a
file that can be imported into:
- FabTrol
- EJE
- Steel 2000
- ROMAC
- Structural Software
- And Microsoft Excel
By
simply selecting your drawings and clicking the scan button, the rest
is automatic, and no 3rd party CAD system or software is required.
SoftScan also produces a variety of reports based on the BOM including
a Mill Order Report, Cutting List, Material Summary Report, Bolt
Summary and Nesting Report.
The tedious task of typing Bills of Material into these software packages is now a thing of the past.
