General Usage Instructions

SoftDraft HVAC-RD2DS Imperial would be specifically used to create the round ductwork and fittings within an HVAC system for your AutoCAD drawings. Here's a breakdown of its role:

  • Efficient Ductwork Design: It streamlines the creation of round ducts of any size, allowing for quick and easy placement within your drawing.
  • Diverse Fitting Options: The software offers a wide range of fitting options, eliminating the need to find pre-made components or manually draft them yourself. This saves significant time and ensures you can create the exact fittings your design requires.
  • Streamlined Register Connections: It facilitates the creation of flexible duct runs that connect directly to your registers. This eliminates the need for separate tools and ensures a cohesive design.
  • Automatic Annotation: SoftDraft automatically generates labels and dimensions for your ducts and fittings, saving you time and effort compared to manual annotation.

In essence, HVAC2D acts as a dedicated tool within AutoCAD that focuses on the specific task of designing and laying out the round duct system for your HVAC drawings.
