Why Swedish Standardization?
IRONCAD is, as you know, an American CAD system. During installation you can choose between basic settings based on "inch" or "metric" and "ANSI" or "ISO" standards for 2D drawings etc. If you have downloaded the installation file from ironcad.com and do not actively select "ISO" and "metric" during installation, you can still change this afterwards, but as a new user of IRONCAD it is not always easy to know or figure out where and how to do this.
Solidmakarna has therefore developed an add-on program that adds and replaces files, templates and settings adapted to "ISO" and "metric" standards. However, this installation file, which we call "Swedish Standard Customization", is not included when downloading from ironcad.com but only when downloading from our website solidmakarna.se. NOTE! Keep in mind that the add-on does not translate any menus in the program from English to Swedish.

Download the Swedish Standard Adaptation add-on from our Download Center.
Manual customization
You may need to add selected parts of our "Swedish Standardization" afterwards. Then you can follow the links to our guides below. There are direct links for downloading various catalogs, 3D and 2D templates, exercise files, plate tables, images, register entries, etc.
