Custom Automation for AutoCAD

Plugins, drawing automation, and headless batch processing, built with AutoCAD's native APIs for production-grade reliability.

The Challenge

Why AutoCAD Users Need Automation

Repetitive Drawing Work

Engineers manually creating variant drawings, copying blocks, and updating title blocks. The same operations, hundreds of times per month.

Standards Drift

Layer naming, text styles, and dimensioning conventions vary across team members. Inconsistency creeps in without automated enforcement.

Manual Data Extraction

BOMs, quantities, and attribute data extracted by hand from drawings: slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale.

Our Solutions

How We Automate AutoCAD Workflows

Custom AutoCAD Plugins (.NET)

Native ribbon commands, tool palettes, and UI panels that automate repetitive drafting tasks inside AutoCAD.

Variant Drawing Automation

Rule-driven generation of drawing variants from parametric templates, producing hundreds of drawings from a single master.

AccoreConsole Batch Processing

Headless CAD execution for batch processing: 5-10x faster than GUI-driven automation with 80% less memory.

AutoCAD + ERP/PDM Integration

Connect AutoCAD drawings to your ERP, PDM, and manufacturing systems, eliminating manual data re-entry.
