Our client is a UK-based architectural design firm known for handling large-scale and complex design projects. Their team uses AutoCAD extensively to create and manage technical drawings. Keeping DWG files clean, consistent, and standardized is essential for project efficiency, smooth collaboration, and maintaining high-quality results.

Our client approached us with a recurring problem: AutoCAD drawings across their projects were inconsistent and took too much time to clean up. Objects were often placed on the wrong layers, colors didn’t follow company standards, and unnecessary entities cluttered the workspace. These issues caused delays and slowed down project teams.

To solve this, we developed a custom AutoCAD plugin to automate the drawing cleanup process. The tool helped organize layers, standardize colors, and process multiple files at once, cutting down on repetitive work and streamlining the entire CAD workflow.

1. Disorganized Drawing Files
AutoCAD files were cluttered with misplaced objects, unused layers, and non-standard elements, making them hard to manage.
2. Inconsistent Color Standards
Many objects didn’t follow the correct layer-based colors, leading to visual errors and inaccurate outputs.
3. Time-Consuming Manual Cleanup
Cleaning each file by hand took hours, slowing down the team and increasing project costs.
4. No Support for Batch File Processing
There was no way to clean up multiple DWG files at once, making large-scale file management inefficient.

1. Automated Drawing Cleanup
We developed a custom tool that automatically cleaned up drawings by organizing layers, removing unnecessary items, and applying consistent standards to every file.
2. Color Standardization
The tool made sure all drawing elements used the correct colors, improving visual accuracy and print quality.
3. Batch File Processing
It could clean multiple DWG files at once, saving hours of manual work and boosting overall productivity.
4. Easy AutoCAD Integration
The solution was built to work smoothly with the client’s existing AutoCAD workflow, with no need for major changes or extra training.

1. 80% Reduction in Manual Cleanup Time
Teams no longer spend hours fixing layers, colors, or messy drawings, saving valuable time.
2. Consistent Drawing Standards
All files now follow the same structure and standards, making teamwork easier and reducing mistakes.
3. Batch File Cleanup
Many DWG files can be cleaned and organized at once, increasing speed and efficiency.
4. Better Project Efficiency
Improved file quality and faster workflows help keep projects on schedule and within budget.
