AutoCAD Automation
Drives AutoCAD's API to automate drafting, layers and design validation.
The problem and our solution
01The problem
Drafting teams were spending hours on repetitive CAD work — setting up layers, applying standards, and manually checking drawings for errors that a rule could catch.
02What we did
We wrote Python automation that drives AutoCAD through its API: it sets up drawings to standard, manages layers and validates designs against rules before they reach review.
Scope
What we designed & built.
-
01
Drafting automation
Scripts that produce repetitive drawing elements consistently, every time.
-
02
Layer management
Automatic layer setup and cleanup to the team's CAD standard.
-
03
Design validation
Rule-based checks that flag problems before a human reviewer sees the drawing.
The outcome
What the client has now.
- Less time spent on repetitive drafting work.
- Drawings that follow the CAD standard by default.
- Errors caught by rules before review.
