Plug-in for AutoCAD: Enhancing Efficiency in Layout Solutions
A major retail chain approached us to develop a tool to optimise the process of verifying store layouts for compliance with strict counter space regulations. Without automated solutions, designers spent hours manually counting equipment blocks and transferring data to Excel for further analysis. This process not only slowed down workflows but also increased the risk of errors.
VirTex Approach to the Task
Our team proposed an effective solution—a AutoCAD plug-in that fully automates the layout verification process. This tool reads data from drawings, processes information on equipment blocks, and instantly generates a summary table, allowing designers to compare planned and actual data for each equipment type. All of this happens within minutes, enabling quicker assessments of layout compliance and more accurate decision-making.
With our plug-in, designers can eliminate repetitive tasks and focus on crucial aspects of their work. Instead of multiple manual operations, the process is reduced to just a few clicks, significantly accelerating analysis and eliminating the risk of errors.
Plug-in Advantages
Automated Data Collection: The plug-in automatically gathers all necessary data from drawings and presents it in a clear, user-friendly format. What once took hours now takes minutes, saving time and resources.
Adaptability to Changing Conditions: Whether it’s new regulations or changes in equipment configuration, the plug-in easily adapts. Designers no longer need to spend time on complex adjustments—everything updates in just a few steps.
Built-in Layout Comparison: The ability to evaluate multiple layout options simultaneously helps in making optimal decisions that best meet client requirements.
Seamless Modifications: Any changes in drawings or requirements can be easily incorporated during the workflow, giving the client full control over the project and eliminating costly revisions.
The client received a tool that not only sped up the design process but also enhanced its quality. Layout verification is now fast and error-free. Designers can trust the accuracy of their calculations, making the entire process transparent and efficient.
