CAD automations

We automate the tasks your team repeats every day.

We write custom scripts for your technical software. A task that takes hours today takes seconds, and the result is the same every time.

AutoLISP · example

What we automate

  • AutoCAD
  • QGIS
  • Global Mapper
  • Other programs

Review your automation potential with us.

  1. You write to us

    Choose “CAD automations” in the form and describe your CAD workflow.

  2. We sit down with you, free of charge

    We review your workflow and see what can be automated, how many hours your team spends on it and how many go into fixing errors.

  3. We run the numbers

    We show you what the task and its corrections cost you in a year, against $279 once.

  4. If it saves you money, we go ahead

    We write the script and deliver it within a few days.
