The e-CAD Coded Rods add-on works with other e-CAD add-ons, complementing them.

e-CAD Coded Bars Add-on – Overview
The e-CAD Coded Bars add-on enables easy and intuitive integration of up to 28 types of coded bars into engineering projects. Inserted bars can be freely compiled using several steel bar schedules that include dimensioned and annotated thumbnails of each coded bar.
Additional tools allow efficient management and editing of coded bars and their descriptions. Bars can be placed and created in multiple ways, including automatic labeling and dimensioning. The add-on also supports seamless collaboration with the e-CAD Reinforced Concrete module and is fully compatible with other modules in the e-CAD suite.
