PROS: creates DWG details, pretty comprehensive
CONS: pretty expensive once you consider you must pay for ASD OR LRFD, have to purchase end connection and bracing connection separately , copy protection scheme is LAME.

Subject: steel connection software
If you are using a steel connection design and detail program, what are you using?
I am looking at Descon or may wait for RISA Steel Connection later this year. I looked online at Descon and the slides make it look perfect for what I need, and export dwg filed is DXF format. I only use RISA 2D for frame design, and neither will be linked or compatible anyway with RISA 2-D.... I am not interested nor do I need a complicated 3-D modeling program. Yet...
