What is the advantage of Sovelia® AutoCAD?

The Sovelia® AutoCAD menus contain many routines that are not found in AutoCAD from the start. In Sovelia® AutoCAD there are menus for many disciplines.

Sovelia® AutoCAD compliments your Autodesk AutoCAD software so you can concentrate on drawing work

Sovelia AutoCAD is an add-on to Autodesk AutoCAD with a number of features, standards and libraries. Start designing quickly without having to spend time on configurations, as much of what you need is already in Sovelia AutoCAD. We have made changes and adjustments as well as a number of useful additions to the current functionality of AutoCAD. These apply to the user interface, selection of sheets and managing scales, standards and styles, symbol libraries, features and more. Sovelia AutoCAD gives a fast and easy workflow that dont need hours and hours of training and are intuitive. In addition to the Start menu for general drawing, there are professional menus for Mechanics/Steel, Electrical, Process & Instrument and Pneumatics/Hydraulics.

Increased productivity

...with streamlined and faster engineering process.

Intelligent Standard Component libraries

...saves your time.

Comply with modelling and drafting standards

...with easy drawing and model property handling.

Works with

Autodesk AutoCAD, AutoCAD Mechanical and AutoCAD LT
Supports latest Autodesk versions and four backwards versions

Standards and styles

To ensure drawings are consistent and standardised, we have added some standards and styles that a user will be prompted to use. Sovelia AutoCAD includes a set of standards, it’s also easy to customise or produce your own standards.

Symbol Libraries

Mechanical and structural symbols
Electrical symbols
Pneumatic symbols
P&Id symbols
Hydraulic symbols
Symbols for Ship Building industry

User interface

The user interface is the same as in Autodesk AutoCAD, but with some additional menus. It is therefore easy for an AutoCAD user to find their way around. Sovelia AutoCAD has its own ribbon menus and menu bar or pull-down menu.

General utilities

Library builder
Batch operator
Isometric Menu
Automated title sheets / borders

Selecting sheets and managing scales

Sovelia AutoCAD includes a user library with predefined standard borders and space for user-defined borders with and without a title block. Text, targets and other annotation symbols will automatically be of the correct scale and layer or according to the selected standard.

Why Sovelia AutoCAD is easier and faster than standard AutoCAD

It is easier to start new drawings, create common setups and distribute them.

Below are some of the basics Sovelia AutoCAD provides to make things easily available for all to create Uniform drawings and metadata. Also remember that the all the functionality, except the Multi drawing manager, will work for AutoCAD LT.

Create the setup

When you create a setup in Sovelia AutoCAD it is an easy task done in a configuration menu. You can easily map the locations for supportfiles and load the profile in AutoCAD.

The setup will not only ensure your new files are set up correctly, but also make old files compliant with the standard setup by using the Drawing Environment setup. This will make sure that Styles and standards such as Layers and Text are used correctly in new and old files.

The drawing setup can be easily Set Up for all users when installing Sovelia AutoCAD.

Create new drawing

When you create a New drawing it will always be related to the standard setup with the standard options and standard set of titleblocks, properties and other metadata. It is fast and easy to get uniform drawings inside the business.

Use the Disciplines

The disciplines will always show the tools needed to create the drawings and correct symbols based on the company standards. The intelligence and simplicity make it easy for everyone to use with a low level of training needed.

Multi process drawings with the multi drawing manager

The possibility to multiprocess drawings with lots of features makes it easy to keep your projects up to date, or create complete copies of projects with their own settings, title blocks and metada. Read More Here
