AutoRebar 2025
Digitally signed app
Descrição
Rebar detailing software and automatic bar bending schedules.
Easy-to-use interface for immediate productivity.
AutoRebar provides Autodesk® AutoCAD® (and all vertical products) with an extra toolbar with special objects for rebar detailing of reinforced concrete structures.
New users find AutoRebar so easy to use that they can achieve good productivity in a matter of hours. If you can use AutoCAD, essentially you are already proficient with AutoRebar.
AutoRebar offers a variety of special objects such as Rebars, Crosshairs, Marks, Callouts, and the BBS.
Rebars are created and stretched similarly to AutoCAD polylines and their diameter can be simply edited with a double click; all AutoRebar entities are dynamically linked and update automatically when one of them is modified.
The user can add a new Mark by selecting the Rebar to be linked, and double click it to edit data such as the bar grouping criteria, the bar spacing and the size of the range; alternatively, either a Crosshairs object or a normal AutoCAD® dimension can be linked to the Mark and used to specify scheduling data such as the spacing and the range of a bundle of bars in the concrete structure. AutoRebar automatically calculates the total quantity for that Mark and reacts to any changes should any of the linked objects change at any time. For instance, if the concrete structure that contains linked Rebars and/or Dimensions is stretched by the user, the total number of bars in the linked Mark updates immediately.
Bar Bending Schedules can be either inserted in the drawing or exported to Excel with a simple click. The BBS command includes all the Marks in the current drawing, while the selBBS command allows to create a schedule by selection for a specific part of the structure.
The displayed format of the Marks, the layout of the BBS and the terminology used by AutoRebar can all be customized to fit company-specific standards and to produce drawings in any language.

The installer is compatible with AutoCAD 2015 to 2025 (including all vertical products).
License notes: AutoRebar licenses are perpetual (pay once and use forever), they include free updates for compatibility with future AutoCAD versions and can be moved from one computer to another with a simple click. AutoRebar licenses are managed independently from Autodesk.
Hello,
is it possible to make or change the Bar Bending Schedules (BBS) so that Total Lengths are given in m, not in mm?
And also: how do I transfer the settings in Bar Bending Schedules (BBS) to an older drawing?
Thanks.
Hello
I am a student and i would like to know if i can have a free version for student?
Can you help remove/deactivated autorebar from my old device? because I can't use it on my new deviceHi Marsanto, you can easily transfer your license between devices from the AutoRebar license control panel. If you need assistance please do not hesitate to reach out at info@autorebar.com and we will be happy to assist.
Hi Paolo,
I'm working on autocad 2025 with auturebar and there are some issues
1- the Dimension of bars are reversed i tried every possible way to make it in the right direction
2- there is arrwos appears in bar marks i can't remove it
so please if there is any thing i can do with this issues
Hi Ayman, Happy to help. 1. The Rebar dimensions are upside-down because the UCS was upside-down when you created the Rebar. This is by design. AutoRebar objects keep memory of the UCS they were created with, so that the dimensions keep the proper orientation when the UCS is different from the WCS and/or multiple UCSs are used in the same drawing. Quite often the concrete shape is in global coordinates, but the reinforcement is better shown in a more convenient orientation. 2. The arrows appear when you run the TRACELINKS command. You can hide them with the HIDELINKS command. Links within AutoRebar object help identify the internal connections and data flow between AutoRebar objects. I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact us at info@autorebar.com if you need further support.
IS THERE IS METHOD TO TRACK REINFROCEMENT MARK FROM BBS TO WHERE IN THE DRAWING , AS REVISION ON MY WORK
I WANT TO FIND REINFROCEMENT BY MARK NUMBER 5 IN WHOLE DRAWING
AS WAS FOUND IN " AUTO CAD STRUCTURAL DETAILING "
Hi Nasser, the AutoRebar 2025 TraceLinks command is there for you. It draws arrows between Marks and Rebars to highlight the underlying links. I hope this helps. Paolo
Grazie per questo buon applicativo e per le migliorie introdotte rispetto alla varsione precedente. La presenza della BBS e le nuove personalizzazioni funzionano.
Ho notato che le Dimensions che si applicano alle Rebar non finiscono sul layer AutoRebar - Dimensions, ma rimangono sul layer AutoRebar - Rebars.
suggerimento per il futuro - se fattibile : il disegno delle barre in prospetto utilizzando le serie, come fatto per le barre in sezione.
grazie per il lavoro!
Hi Andrea, thanks for the review. Dimensions in a dynamic rebar are part and parcel of the Rebar object and therefore they can only stay on the same layer as the rebar. However, if you explode the Rebar they will be transferred to a dedicated layer. I hope this helps and feel free to reach out at info@autorebar.com for more help.
Hi guys, This plugin works with AutoCad LT?
Hi Sir,
I'm a Civil student, wants to Use it for free. Is it possible

Hi Justine, Yes, a Mark object can be linked to a pair of Rebar objects that specify the start and end shape and length of the variable rebar range. The total weight is calculated by assuming a linearly variable pattern within the range. This brief video tutorial is a step by step guide: https://www.autorebar.com/video-tutorials/video-15-variable-marks/ You can email us at info@autorebar.com to request a trial. Cheers, Paolo
after i have log in into the autorebar with email address and pin, "autorebar license control panel" prompt came out and it stated that my license status was busy and i was unable to activate it please advice.
Hi Kimhooi, that's because your license is currently locked on another computer of yours. You can unlock a license at any time by clicking the "Deactivate" button in the AutoRebar license control panel from the computer where the license is currently being used. For more specific assistance, you can contact us at info@autorebar.com. Paolo

so good
The link to video tutoriel 8 is the same as video tutorial 7... :-(
Some very useful application for structural engineers. The benefit to use app like this instead only pure AutoCAD objects can be feld immediately after first minutes of work. I started to work with it before 2 months and soon will make my first middle size building.
The app is helping a lot. You need to spent some time in order to learn what you can do with it, but once you do that, you will find that it really helps save a lot of time with the drawings. It may cause some Autocad instability but the owner of the app was quick to reply and give a solution.
For those who do not have a proper lisp may be useful. The ods are that it does not add stability to AutoCad, has to be exploded, does not allow different rebar list in the same drawing. My solution was to make the rebar drawing with a formwork external reference, then explode and use the exploded file for plot. All the proscess was heavy and time waisting, and also lead to mistakes..
Programme très utile pour dessiner en Génie Civil et Construction. Précision extrême et simplicité d'usage phénoménale.
Easy to work and learn. Very fast for small drawings generation.
