Drawing List Manager

Jan Grenov

This app enables Autodesk® AutoCAD® to communicate with a central database for title block data. The admin module allows exporting and updating Excel drawings, enhancing collaboration and efficiency.

Free

  • Create and maintain project drawing data in a project database.
  • Update title block data from the database to the title block or from the title block to the database.
  • Export to and maintain drawing data in Excel

The general idea of this app is to supply a tool for easily creating and distributing all Autodesk® AutoCAD® drawing data (such as drawing number, name, description, etc.) in a project centrally and to relevant AutoCAD drawings whenever a user adds a new title block instance containing a drawing number defined by the administrator.

As work progresses, all drawing data is collected and synchronized with the Drawing List Manager database.

All data may be exported to Excel.

Then use the administrator module to create and save project information and drawing data in a central project file.

When a DLM (Drawing List Manager) project has been created, configured, and saved in the top folder of the drawings folder tree, this app will look for title block attribute values in each AutoCAD document. Whenever a specified drawing number attribute tag is found, attribute values in the title block will be synchronized with data in the DLM project file.

The synchronization may run from the database to the drawing or from the drawing to the database, as configured.

The synchronization may be set to run automatically or manually.
