AutoCAD Plugins

WHY

AutoCAD is boring. But it can really save the day and, in some 10% of the cases, it can do magic. What if this can raise to 90%? This can happen when you have a plugin that completely fits to your workflow.

Reasons for building a custom plugin

Time saving

Automating tasks can save an average of 50-60% time spent for drawing tasks inside AutoCAD. Not including time fetching data from Excel tables, searching symbol blocks or looking for specs files. All of these tasks can be reduced to one click, error proof operations. This, along with the drawing checks, can increase time savings to 80-90%.

No Learning Curve

Even the app is growing in size and complexity, your design team won’t face a steep, long learning curve. It will be a learn-as-you-go process and this mean that your team can start using the app just after the first module is released.

Costs

Are similar to the costs of employing a designer for a couple of months and, like those costs, are split over the app development period. Compared to an off-the-shelf app, the costs of a custom app do not multiply with the number of workstations and, of course, are not paid yearly.

WHAT

The apps we make are designed as a set of interconnected modules. This allows a step-by-step approach, with modules being released gradually, according to your priorities and timeline. Also the already released modules can be enhanced further as new ideas are coming in and the workflow changes.

Benefits of a custom plugin

Error proofing

Checking a large drawing against drawing or design errors may take hours and is not always 100% successful. Only way to spot these errors is an automated drawing analysis and warning system that can be designed and configured to check whatever errors you may think of.

Keep in sync

Synchronize AutoCAD drawings to external data be it Excel tables, Access database or cloud data like Google sheets, AirTable etc. You don’t have to migrate or change the way you store your data to integrate with AutoCAD, the app will integrate with your data system.

Friendly and effective user interface

No need to learn new commands, the plugin will be designed to fit to your workflow and not the other way around. You will have only the commands you need, where you need.
