Structural Connector & Hold-Down Coordinator Pro

Coordinate structural connectors, hold-downs, roof clips, straps, post bases, anchors, and continuous load paths directly inside AutoCAD with Structural Connector & Hold-Down Coordinator Pro.

This advanced AutoLISP and DCL package provides one organized interface for recording engineer-supplied loads, verified connector capacities, fastener requirements, anchorage information, installation conditions, and load-path verification.

The program calculates preliminary demand-to-capacity ratios using the values you enter. Conservative HOLD warnings identify missing capacities, incomplete verification items, or entered demands that exceed entered capacities.

Features include:

• Eight connector and hold-down categories

• Manufacturer, model, connection-tag, and supporting-material fields

• Tension, shear, and compression demand tracking

• User-entered verified allowable capacities

• Adjustable demand factor

• Demand-to-capacity ratio reviews

• Automatic HOLD warnings

• Eight-point installation and load-path checklist

• Fastener type and quantity tracking

• Anchor diameter, embedment, and edge-distance fields

• Connector symbols and drawing tags

• Multi-point continuous load-path graphics

• In-drawing coordination reports

• TXT report export

• Connector and hold-down schedules

• Automatic connector, load-path, and annotation layers

• AutoCAD 2002 and later compatibility

• LISP, DCL, instructions, command guide, testing checklist, and commercial license included

Commands include SCHDPRO, CONNECTORPRO, SCHDREPORT, SCHDSCHEDULE, and SCHDABOUT.

Important: This software is a coordination and documentation aid only. It does not calculate wind or seismic loads, load combinations, overstrength, member capacities, concrete breakout, masonry anchorage, anchor-group effects, prying, eccentricity, fire protection, installation adequacy, or code compliance. Final design, connector selection, approval, and inspection require the engineer of record, current approved manufacturer data, and the authority having jurisdiction.
