Autodesk CAD Data Exchange Automation
Automate how design files move between Autodesk products, other CAD systems, suppliers and customers. Batch STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG, PDF and IFC exports, controlled imports and clean, consistent data packages.
The right files, in the right format, every time
Every engineering team exchanges data: STEP files for suppliers, DXF files for laser and waterjet cutting, PDFs for approval, DWGs for consultants and IFC models for BIM coordination. When engineers export files one by one, formats and names vary, settings are forgotten and sensitive data can leave the company by mistake.
ENGIMANDI automates data exchange for AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, Fusion and Vault. We build batch and on-release exporters with the correct settings for each recipient, name and package files by rules, simplify or protect models before sharing, and import incoming files with checks and standard clean-up. Exchange can run on the desktop, through the Vault Job Processor or in the cloud with Autodesk Platform Services.

Data exchange automation
Consistent outputs and safe inputs.
Neutral Exports
STEP, IGES, Parasolid, SAT, STL and 3MF with the right units and versions.
Flat Patterns & DXF
Sheet metal flat patterns exported as clean DXF files for cutting machines.
Drawings
PDF and DWG drawing sets with standard names, layers and stamps.
BIM Exchange
IFC, NWC and DWG exports from Revit and Civil 3D using project settings.
Protected Sharing
Simplified models that hide internal detail before sending to customers.
Controlled Imports
Incoming files checked, renamed, cleaned and stored in the right place.
Exchange stack
Autodesk translators and APIs.
Typical projects
- DXF flat patterns sent to the laser folder on release
- STEP package for a supplier with a PDF drawing set
- Simplified Inventor models for customer approval
- IFC export with the client's property mapping
- Incoming STEP files checked and imported to Vault
- Cloud conversion of customer files in a web portal

Data exchange questions
Which formats do you support?
STEP, IGES, Parasolid, SAT, JT, STL, 3MF, DXF, DWG, PDF, IFC, NWC and native formats supported by Autodesk translators.
Can exports happen automatically on release?
Yes. With Vault, the Job Processor exports files when they change lifecycle state.
Can you protect our design details?
Yes. We can simplify models, remove internal parts and strip properties before sharing.
Do you convert between other CAD systems?
Yes, through neutral formats and translators, with checks on the results.
Can conversions run in the cloud?
Yes, using Autodesk Platform Services for web-based or high-volume workflows.
