Welcome to ProSteel You decided to buy our ProSteel program because you are convinced that you will cope with your daily tasks faster and in a more reliable way in the future by using a CAD software package which is successful, well tried and tested all over the world. We are pleased that you selected a product of our company and we hope that for a long time we will be your reliable partners.
Contents of this Manual This manual provides a complete description of all commands available with the ProSteel steel construction software package. Some of the individual descriptions contain examples, which facilitate the recreation of the different command applications by providing graphics and screenshots.
Not Provided in this Manual Working with ProSteel and this manual requires that you are already familiar with the use of AutoCAD. The chapters of this manual require knowledge of AutoCAD and Windows. If that is not the case, you should familiarize yourself with the most important basic AutoCAD commands to be able to work effectively with the new software. Although the program will help you to overcome many of the three-dimensional AutoCAD construction hurdles, you should be familiar with terms such as object snap, user coordinate system (UCS), blocks, etc.

General Information
Differences to your Current Version Our new CAD Abstract Layer (CAL) technology permits largely uniform functionality and appearance of ProSteel on different CAD-platforms. In addition, ProSteel is available in several licence models, which differ from each other with regard to their performance range. Due to the fact that the integration into the CAD system AutoCAD from AutoDesk is the most extensive implementation at the moment, the description of all functions of this manual refers to the version ProSteel Professional for AutoCAD. When you bought ProSteel for another platform other than AutoCAD or another licence model (e.g. without detailing), the actual performance range of your version may differ from this manual. In addition, there may be differences due to intermediate updates of the program after publication of this manual.

General Information
A.1.2
Display Program version
Executing the command PS_VERSION displays precise information at the AutoCAD command line on the version of the software you have installed, including build number and creation date. For example: ProSteel is programmed by Bentley Systems You are using ProSteel Version V8i (SELECTseries 3) - Version 8.11.3.48 dated from Aug 25 2010

Language Selection
A.2
Language Selection
In ProSteel you can select the language of the menu prompt and thus of the configuration, too while the program is running.
The displayed dialog offers all languages which are installed at the very moment. To switch over to another language check the field beside the flag and confirm the modification with the OK-button. Apart from the language of the menu prompt, the modified settings for the configuration will be loaded as well when the program is started for the next time. If you switch over e. g. from German to English, nothing will happen first in the running mode except the language of the dialogs. However, if you start ProSteel anew together with the modified language setting, the configuration of the language setting will be loaded as well from the currently installed language set. This means that a plate will not be created with the name Blech but with the name Plate. The search paths of the program for blocks, temp- and varia-directories will change as well and another ProSteel configuration will be available. Please refer to the chapter Installation to see which installations depend on the language.

Dialog Framework A.3.1
ProSteel Dialog boxes
In ProSteel you will mainly meet dialog frames based on a standardized appearance. The advantage is that you will always find certain repetitions of the different commands at the same place and with the same icon.
Dialog Frame Structure Each dialog consists of the basic control buttons such as OK, CANCEL, TEMPLATE, etc., which are placed at the bottom edge of the dialog. On the right, you will find auxiliary diagrams, preview windows or a pick frame also called “monitor” in the descriptions, appearing in some of the commands. The actual content of the dialog differs from one command to the other; additional buttons may appear in the lower button bar depending on the corresponding command. The following picture shows a typical dialog frame, containing all standard elements, for the example of an end plate connection:
The standard elements (lower button bar) as well as the general behaviour of the dialogs are described below. When the different commands are described, these things won’t be explained any more.
21
Dialog Framework
Dialog-Commands OK By clicking on this button, you close the dialog and the last settings such as content of the dialog, position on the screen, selected dialog tab, etc. are stored. Depending on the command, you are prompted to continue with other things like e.g. selection of component parts, etc. CANCEL By clicking on this button, you close the dialog and the command is cancelled. If possible, the previous status is restored as it was before selection of the command
HELP When you click on this button, the Online-help is opened.
TEMPLATE By clicking on this button, you can save or load again the complete settings of the dialog for the selected command under any template name you like. Here, another dialog of ProSteel template management opens which is described separately in this subordinate chapter. CLONE By clicking on this button, you can read the settings of an existing connection and import it onto another one. This function is especially suitable for automatic connections. It helps you to obtain an identical connection to an existing one, the exact default settings of which, however, you don’t know any more. For more detailed information, please refer to the descriptions of the individual functions.
22
Dialog Framework
UPDATE When you click on this button, the connection, structure or the component part are updated according to your default settings. Normally in ProSteel, you are working in a dynamic mode. Each modification of a parameter is directly translated into a modification of the corresponding object so that you can see the results immediately. In case of very complex structures or less powerful computers, it may be reasonable to deactivate this automatic update in the global settings of ProSteel and to activate it manually if need be.
ROLL-OVER By clicking on this button, you alternatively switch on or off the so-called Roll-Over-mechanism. When RollOver is switched on, the visible dialog area depends on the current mouse position. For more detailed information, please refer to the separate description in this chapter.
GRAPHIC When you click on this button, the auxiliary graphics of the corresponding dialogs are alternatively switched on or off. This influences the size of the dialog on the screen.
23
Dialog Framework
A.3.2
Template Manager
When working with the program, you will see that it provides a variety of different dialog boxes, which are used to enter settings for the functions and commands. Many of these settings are repeated for construction tasks in different orders or are used in a slightly modified for (e.g. connection plates with holes for specific supports) – it would be useful to save these settings for later use. For this purpose, ProSteel offers you a template management function. Many of the dialogs feature a TEMPLATE button. Clicking this button calls up the template management dialog box where you then can save or load the settings. Sometimes, the templates can also be accessed via the context menu of the right mouse key. Although this is always the same window, the saved entries depend on the type of dialog box from which you are using the template management dialog. The only items visible in the command ’Work Frame’ are saved work frames. The command ‘Plates’ correspondingly offers only connection plate specifications.
The methods of working within the template management are very similar to those of Windows Explorer. For example, you can organize the templates’ structure in different list branches and easily modify this structure at any time via Drag&Drop.
24
Dialog Framework
Dialog-Commands LOAD When you click on this button, the template marked in the selection list is loaded and the input fields of the dialog box are filled in accordingly. Then, the dialog will be closed immediately. You can also double-click the list entry for this command. SAVE By clicking on this button, you can save the settings entered in the dialog frame using a name indicated by you. You first have to select the desired list branch where your template has to be saved and then click the SAVE button. Now an entry with a standard name will be created the name of which can be modified immediately or at a later moment. To overwrite an existing entry, select the corresponding entry instead of a list branch. NEW FOLDER By clicking on this button, you can create a new branch (folder) on the topmost level or even within a list branch to save your templates. You first have to select the desired list branch and then you haver to click the NEW FOLDER button. IMPORT Click on this button to add other templates of the same type to your current template file. This may be a single template, a list branch or the complete file. A file selection dialog opens where you can select the template file to be imported. It is checked whether you selected the same type. If the name of some list branches of the imported template file is identical with the entry in the existing file, you can decide for each branch individually whether the existing data have to be overwritten or not. The new branches or templates are only added; they may be re-organized later by using Drag&Drop.
25
Dialog Framework
Order Click on this button, and the alphabetical order of the display list is turned upside down. You can reach entries which are placed further down without having to scroll up and down the list. First, you have to select a list branch the order of which has to be changed. Sorting can be defined for each branch individually.
Context Menu Most of the dialog commands can be reached via the context menu of the right mouse key. Further commands are available here. REMOVE Select this command to delete the selected template or a complete branch including all subordinate branches. EXPORT Select this command to save the selected template or a complete branch including all subordinate branches under any file name you like. The data can be added again at any time using the IMPORT command or they can be made accessible to other users for import. After selection of the command, the file selection dialog opens where you can select a file name or a file path. FAVOURITES Select this command to add the selected template to the favourites’ list or to remove it from this list. BLOCK Select this command to block the selected template against overwriting. This function is only available in expert mode. UNBLOCK Select this command to unblock templates which were blocked against overwriting. This function is only available in expert mode.
26
Dialog Framework
Permanent and Temporary Dialog Templates The templates are saved as permanent dialog settings in the variants folder of the program and thus are available for all users at the same time in a network if the same folder has been set at this workstation. In addition, the last settings are saved in an individual temporary folder of the workstation each time the dialog is left. Thus you have fast access to the last entry when selecting the function repeatedly.
Version Control You are perhaps used to the fact that in other programs and in previous ProSteel versions already defined templates were often lost during an update. This is the reason why the data structure of template file was equipped with a version and type control. Your new defined templates remain compatible with the following versions and when former files are loaded, any new added values will have a standard value.
dBASE-Import and -Export Different functions additionally offer the possibility to export the template files into the dBASE-format or to import them from this format. You can create data records using Excel or comparable programs. These data records then are available as ProSteel-templates. Especially the creation of template records similar in quality (e.g. only with two variable dimensions) is considerably facilitated. Select EXPORT and IMPORT as file type dBASE III List in the dialog commands to export individual templates or branches into the dBASE-format or to import them from there. If the selection is not possible, format conversion is not available for these dialog templates.
27
Dialog Framework
Favourites You can collect selected templates individually in a favourites’ list. These lists are displayed in the dialogs of the functions to have a quick selection of templates available. First click on the corresponding entry to define a template as favourite. Then, select the option Add to favourites in the context menu. Now, the entry is displayed in bold type. To remove an entry, click on the entry again and select the entry Remove from Favourites in the context menu.
28
Dialog Framework
A.3.3
RollOver-Mechanism
The so-called RollOver-mechanism allows for a better use of your drawing surface in ProSteel because the dialogs are only displayed completely if you probably intend to enter something or to control the settings. Otherwise, the dialogs are reduced to the title bar allowing you at any time to recognize which dialogs are open at the moment. The change from complete to reduced status depends on the movements of your mouse. When you leave the input area of a dialog with the mouse, it will be “folded up” except for the title bar shortly afterwards and you can look at your construction. It is not until you move to the title bar again with the mouse, that the dialog is displayed completely because the program now assumes that you are going to modify something.
Individual Control Due to the fact that perhaps you don’t want to have a RollOver-mechanism activated for each dialog, it can be switched on or off for each dialog individually. You may even completely deactivate the RollOver-mechanism in the global settings if you don’t like this way of working at all. However, your individual defaults are kept in each dialog frame and become valid again when the mechanism is activated.
29
Dialog Framework
A.3.4
Pick Frame and Auxiliary Graphics
Many dialogs have a graphic depiction on the right. This is either a pure auxiliary graphic explaining the dialog parameters or – depending on the command – a pick frame for the determination of reference points (“monitor“).
Auxiliary Graphics The auxiliary graphics show a depiction in the form of a diagram, e.g. a connection or a structural element with the most important dimensions, which can be modified in the dialog frame. Here, different numbers which you will find again in the labelling of input fields and which allow for a clear assignment marks the dimensions. In some dialog frames, the graphics change depending on the selection of an option or even of an input field. Thus they are sufficient in most cases as help for the parameters.
Monitor The monitor frame helps you to define the reference points e.g. at the insertion of shapes. In this case, you usually find small circles serving as marks to be clicked. The activated reference point then is displayed in red. In addition, the monitor also shows a preview of your current default settings e.g. at the definition of position flags. In contrast to the auxiliary graphics, its proportions change.

Dialog Framework
A.3.5
Input Extensions
Apart from the ToolTips customary in Windows-programs, displaying an auxiliary text with explanations, when you move your mouse to an input field or button, further useful helps are available for you in the dialog frames.
Pick Lengths Most input fields for entering distances allow picking the distance in your drawing. Then, the picked length is entered into the input field. This extension permits comfortable seizing of distances from your construction. To do so, select the entry Add Picked Length in the corresponding field via the context menu; the dialog frame is temporarily hidden, and you can pick the distance via two points. If you select the entry Add Picked Length (without Z) instead, the distance will be calculated without Z-coordinates.
Pocket Calculator Most input fields for entering distances alternatively allow the use of an integrated pocket calculator to calculate the values. The new calculated value then is entered into the input field. To do so, select the entry Add Calculated Value via the context menu; the pocket calculator is displayed. If a value was entered into the input field before, it will be automatically displayed in the pocket calculator.

Input Options A.4.1
Input Options in Input Fields
Some additional functions are available in all fields where you can enter a length, distance or coordinate. These commands, however, are not available for fields where you enter texts, angles, or general digits such as factors or scaling values. You have access to these functions by calling the context menu with the right mouse key in the corresponding input field and then select the desired entry The well-known Windows functions for input fields such as e.g. Copy and Paste will of course be at your disposal there in future, too.
Additional Functions Pick Length
If you select this function, the dialog is hidden and you can pick two points in the drawing. The distance from one point to the other is calculated and the result is entered into the corresponding dialog field. Then, the dialog is displayed again.
Pick Length without Z If you select this option, the z-coordinates are removed at distance calculation. Running is the same as described above. Pocket Calculator A small pocket calculator is displayed when you use this option. When selected, the calculator takes over the content of the current field and you can directly calculate with this value. When the calculation is finished and you want to copy the result into the current input field, just quit the calculator using the COPY button.
33
Input Options
A.4.2
Input Options at Object Selection
When the program prompts an object selection, you can select the desired component parts via window or via selection. In this case there are two functions, which can be rather useful. Comparison
In most of the functions, and in the case you want to select all parts, you can answer the selection with RETURN. Then, all parts of the current drawing will be selected.
Filter
When you interrupt the selection with ESC and SHIFT, the filter function is selected and the function is not left.
In this case you would filter your input for all parts being longer than 2000 mm. If you press the OK-button, the parts are selected on which the filtering is based. Then, the original function is carried out together with the filter result. For a detailed description of the filter possibilities, please refer to the description of PS_SEARCH command.
34
Input Options
A.4.3
Special Key-Commands
In some other cases, you can select another function by simultaneously pressing ALT, CTRL or SHIFT-key. The available options are displayed in the following list. Use of CTRL-Key Bolted Joint
The bolted joint command saves the last created bolt to avoid searching through the database if the next bolt is a bolt of the same type and length, etc. When you keep the CTRL-key pressed during bolted joint command, the stored data are deleted and the program is forced to read the bolt data from a file.
Select View
At Select View command you can set whether double-clicking quits the dialog. This setting is turned upside down when the CTRL-key is pressed simultaneously.
Display Class
You can move the dialog of display and area classes lengthways. To return to the original status, keep the CTRLkey pressed while the corresponding dialog is opened.
NC-Data
The CTRL-key pressed while component parts for NC-creation are selected switches on the Debug-mode. Diverse graphical outputs are generated for NC-creation. They are rather meant for development, but sometimes they help to solve problems as well.
Positioning
If you enter the starting value of positioning, the next following value will be calculated. If you have alphanumerical values, which start with A, this is not possible, because you have to enter a 0 and the result will be an displayed. A pressed CTRL-key creates an .
