RAM Manager DXF Files

Three types of DXF files can be created from the RAM Manager for transferring the RAM Structural System model and design information to CAD: one containing the floor framing layouts with their associated concrete beam schedules, one containing column and footing layouts with their associated steel and concrete column schedules, and one containing the shear wall reinforcement. These options are provided in order to reduce duplication of effort between the designer and the drafter by allowing the creation of CAD drawings directly from the RAM Structural System database. A simple DXF file viewer is also included. Note that the RAM Frame program includes an option to produce another type of DXF file, a frame elevation. See the RAM Frame manual for more information.
