Software engineering for CAD-intensive work

Service

AutoCAD plugin development

AutoCAD plugin development to build C# and .NET extensions around the actual engineering process.

Problem

When a process relies on manual steps and tacit knowledge, it becomes hard to repeat and audit. The objective is to build C# and .NET extensions around the actual engineering process.

Automation approach

We map inputs, rules, exceptions and acceptance criteria before choosing AutoLISP, C#/.NET or a combination.

Applicable workflows

  • Custom commands and palettes
  • Project-rule validation
  • Data and system integration

Process

  1. 01Diagnose the workflow and exceptions
  2. 02Build a verifiable prototype with non-confidential data
  3. 03Validate, document and deliver in a controlled way

Deliverables

  • Versioned implementation and usage documentation
  • Validation criteria and error handling
  • Deployment guidance for the agreed environment

Technologies

  • AutoCAD .NET API
  • C#
  • .NET

Limitations

AutoCAD plugin development requires a confirmed AutoCAD version, samples and rules. Compatibility and deployment are scoped; universal coverage is not promised.
