1. Drawing creation
Generate standard drawing views, sheet formats, dimensions and balloons from 3D models. Engineers then review and refine instead of starting from a blank sheet.
2. Title block and property filling
Fill part number, description, material, project, customer, author and dates automatically from a form, project data or ERP.
3. BOM generation
Create accurate BOMs with item numbers, quantities, cut lengths and materials, and export them to Excel or ERP in your format.
4. Batch export to PDF, DXF, DWG and STEP
Export hundreds of files overnight with your naming rules, folder structure and revision suffixes.
5. Inserting standard parts
Place fasteners, bearings, profiles or blocks from a controlled library with correct sizes and part numbers, often chosen automatically from rules.
6. Creating product variants
Generate new sizes or configurations from a master model and a table of parameters, including drawings for each variant.
7. Design rule and standards checks
Check models and drawings for missing data, wrong layers, non-standard features or manufacturability issues before release.
8. Renaming, copying and restructuring files
Copy a project as a new one with renamed files and updated references, a task that is slow and risky by hand.
9. Revision updates
Update revision letters, revision tables and change notes across many drawings in one operation.
10. Reports and data extraction
Extract weights, surface areas, hole counts, cable lengths or quantities into engineering reports and cost estimates.
Summary table
| Task | Effort to automate | Typical impact |
|---|---|---|
| Property filling, exports, renaming | Low | Quick daily time savings |
| BOMs, revisions, reports | Low–medium | Fewer data errors |
| Drawings, checks, standard parts | Medium | Large time and quality gains |
| Product variants | Medium–high | Transforms order engineering |
Start with a low-effort task to build confidence, then move to the high-impact ones.
