Why CAD Automation Solutions Matter

Manual CAD work slows down engineering teams, creates inconsistencies, and drives up costs.

In fast-paced design environments, engineers often face:

  • Repetitive drawing tasks that waste hours
  • Human errors in BoMs, spec sheets, or routing
  • Manual data transfers between CAD and ERP systems
  • Locked workflows that limit collaboration and traceability

 

✅ Automation transforms CAD from a drawing tool into a smart design engine – accelerating delivery, improving data quality, and freeing engineers to focus on real design decisions.

Our Expertise

Dynamic Tagging, Annotation & Dimensioning based on drawing logic
Automated Title Block & Sheet Set Generation from model metadata
Template-based Layout Tools for repetitive room/building/unit structures

Data Extraction & Processing

Auto-generation of BoM, MTO, and Equipment Lists from model elements
Clash Report Aggregation with filtering by type, zone, or system
Drawing-to-Excel/ERP Connectors with real-time formatting and validation
Automated Data Cleanup Scripts – remove unused layers, blocks, duplicate geometry
Geometric & Quantitative Analysis Tools – calculate volumes, lengths, areas, etc. from 3D geometry

CAD-to-ERP/SAP Automation

Auto-sync of engineering data with SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, or custom ERP platforms
