Padds, short for Parametric Drawing and Detailing System, was developed specifically for structural engineers and their drawing personnel. With its intuitive and uncomplicated interface, new users can be productive within the first couple of hours of using the program. Without the bloat of modern CAD systems, all that remains is a lean and powerful tool for drawing and structural detailing.
All the basic CAD procedures are available to create or edit drawings. Entities like lines, arcs, circles, splines, text, hatch, dimensions, blocks, and construction lines are all supported with a host of editing functions. Using an innovative approach to layers and scales, laying out details on a drawing sheet is very easy.
The program ships with various reinforcements detailing functions. Among them, the ability to add multiple bars, alternate bars reversed, staggered bars, and fanned zones.
The scheduler keeps track of all rebar entities in the drawing and displays their properties in the schedule. The reinforcement detailing functionality of Padds is also available in Probar 2D, an extension for AutoCAD and BricsCAD. Padds is further complemented by the free PadView drawing viewer.
Padds can supply input to PROKON design modules as well as meshes for Frame.
Padds includes a macro and scripting facility based on the Pascal programming language which allows you to develop your own commands.
