Viking Fab and Ferguson Fab can take an AutoSprink drawing and generate a workable fab list for their use. I'm sure that AutoSprink is working on getting a module out to the various fabricators so it works like Hydralist or GemList or whatever the other programs use. Travis Mack, SET MFP

Thanks everyone for your input. The guys at autoSPRINK did tell me that the listing was an issue but when I spoke with them at the convention they said they either just released or were getting ready to release an update in the next few months (I was woozy after a long week) for supplies to be

It is a very powerful program and it can do a lot of things (usually multiple ways to do the same thing). If you transition over from a drawing board, like I did, it is a fairly easy switch. If you are transitioning over from an AutoCad based program, you will have to unlearn a lot of things.

I've been on Autosprink for 12 years. I couldn't imagine going to anything else. Call me if you want to talk about it. I have zero vested interest in the program, other than it is the best out there. I have used most of the others all the way back to basic autocad and the old sigma cad.

Great program. Been on it for over 10 years. The listing works better than any other. If you think you need convert to hydra list for your fab shop, you just have to know how to do it correctly. Certainly not garbage but if you don't know the correct way it's like 'pushing a button' to run

We're about 90 days in to the process of changing over. It's been tedious to say the least. I like the program but it's very different from anything that's AutoCAD based. Also make sure your fabricator is either set up to price from AutoSPRINK or they are willing to price from a PDF stocklist.
