Duct - Detail Drawing

What type of detail are you looking for? Parts list, BOM, Isometric? all of these can be made using draft (through ADP)

Can we generate duct detail drawing from PDMS using ADP or only the GA ??
else it is better to use autocad for detailing??
Help !!

If your looking for pattern detail drawing of fittings, pdms is not the correct software. Draft, ADP (Automatic Drawing Production) are just viewable platforms to read from the 'Design model', fittings in the design model are manually created (paragon) to give a representation of the fitting?
Unfortunately there is no direct link from pdms output to ductwork manufacturing machines. The closest I have used is cadduct ([url=http://www.technicalsalesinternational.com/v2008/cad-duct.php]CAD DUCT - Detailing Software for HVAC Duct Design & Coordination[/url]) which uses autocad as a platform. It is a ductwork machine program that has been developed for 3D design.
If you just want to detail the fitting with dimensions say, in plan view and/or elevation then yes this can be done using ADP.

can it be done using ADP ?? Detail drawing for elbows , taper everything ?? ...coz i thought only GA could be done...

Thanks Ianmp...Ill try this..can we do some Basic GA for propoasl using PDMS ADP

For basic GA drawings just use draft. Use dimensions, glabs (with intelligent text) and or texp (for notes) and symbols if you want to show turning vanes and flow arrows etc.

ye Ianmp ..i like to automate those GA's using autodraft ...can it be done....how to use autodraft??

Well several questions that are too complex to be answered so easily. I would suggest to you first to read thoroughly the manuals for Draft, both manuals and ADP manual also.

For isometric drawing for ducting, you can use IsoADP. This is somewhat like an addin to DRAFT. This needs a separate license though.
