ABOUT THE SOFTWARE
draPRO has many routines that enable the designer, detailer & general drafter to produce "Building Services" drawings much more productively. So much so, that a 40% increase in productivity to that of raw AutoCAD has been achieved.
​
The increased productivity is bought about by automating routines for HVAC, ductwork design & detailing, electrical power, lighting diagrams, communications, data, hydraulic, hot & cold water, sewer & storm water reticulation, isometrics, fire services, sprinkler reticulation & smoke detections.
draPRO is a quality management & drawing productivity system for companies or contractors who require many routines that enable designers & detailers to produce "Building Services" documentation.
> Toolbar quality systems management
> The Ability to run one or more third party applications.
> Drawing to be produced for multiple clients.
SOME OF THE ROUTINES THAT ENABLE THIS INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY ARE:
Client defined drawing set up. the facility allows complete drawing set up for each specific client or project allowing complete colour & layer name control specific to the client or project.
Create your own Title Sheets.
Editing Tools. draPRO includes enhanced text, line, attribute, block editing & many other editing tools can be customised to suit the end users.
Plotting Routines.
Bath Routines: allowing slide libraries, plotting & user defined routines to be batched which means many tasks are automated.
Layer Management: use one of the many structures of layer names & colours or create a completely new set of layers & colour format to suit your own standards.
Fully Customisable: allowing your own standards & other standards to be applied. If you use your own unique colours & layer structure, or your client requires something completely different you are able to set up such a client within the software allowing you to use all of the tools within many different client standards. For example; you may use the layer name 'Duct' and a colour of 'Red', your client may want to use the layer name 'Mechduct' and a colour of 'Cyan'. You are able to set up your draPRO routines to document differently under different client codes. This enables that the speed of using the product is not limited to set standards. Crete your own font styles, layer names etc.
Standardised Blocks: are able to be brought into any of the different client environments, automatically changing to suit the client's standards.
draLIB is the library portion of the product, housing many plans, elevations & specific details relating to equipment & standard installations within all building services. This sector is designed to be continually upgraded as standards & new plant alters over time.
Architectural clean up: routines allowing fast conversion of old or different drawings that are to be used as backgrounds or xref files to be quickly converted to the way you would like them to be.
Scheduling: draPRO includes a completely customisable facility, where data can be either scheduled within drawings or saved to a DBF or XLS file allowing input into remote spreadsheets, specifications or manuals. Proprietary items such as sprinkler heads, light fittings, power points, air diffusers, dampers, pumps, chillers et are able to be scheduled to suit the individual needs of the end user.
