Automated routines in IDAT remove the large amount of repetitive and tedious work that precast design can generate. Panels can be split quickly and the system automatically adds reo, lifters, prop points and connections. IDAT also generates shop drawings for a whole job with just the click of a mouse. CLICK HERE to see how quickly drawings are generated.
The 3D IDAT model allows any errors made by the draftman to be easily seen and fixed. The system also has a direct link between the shop drawings and the model so if you change one, the other is automatically updated. CLICK HERE to see how an IDAT model and a Steel model can be checked against each other.
IDAT will be configured to meet your exact requirements. Things like drawing layouts, components and connections are just some examples of what can be configured to suit you. CLICK HERE for a list of things that can be modified to suit you company.
IDAT can be progessively built up via a series of modules, each of which is optimised for a particular type of precast element. This keeps the cost down and allows you to expand your system when it suits you. CLICK HERE to go to the Modules page
Unlike other precast CAD programs, Reid offers full support for your IDAT system. We will setup the system to suit you and help you get the most out the software as quickly as possible. Call 1300 PRECAST or email cad@reid.com.au for enquires or support.
Everything you create in the IDAT CAD model is captured in an integrated Access database. This means a complete take off for an entire project takes only a few seconds. CLICK HERE to see an example of a Bill of Materials generated using IDAT
IDAT's familiar AutocAD interface means that if you are comfortable with AutoCAD you will quickly become efficient with IDAT. Also all of the free Autodesk tools such as Design Review and TrueView are compatable with IDAT. CLICK HERE for more information on Autodesk Design View.
