Automated AutoCad Application

Customer: Mass Electric

Customer Size: 500+ employees
Location: Dallas, TX
Industry: Industrial Construction


Customer Profile:


MEC is a provider of complex and large scale electrical systems construction, including OCS (Overhead Catinary Systems).


Software and Services:


  •    C#
  •    AutoCAD Extension




The Challenge


Our first hurdle was jumping in and learning the concepts, terminology, and processes of OCS construction.


Next we had to understand and quantify the rules that the human AutoCAD processes were built around.


Finally we had to determine if we could automate these processes.


The Solution


After documenting the process to be automated, we needed to organize and clean the dynamic blocks used.


A "Proof of Concept" project has been scoped out and is currently underway, the deliverable of this project is an AutoCAD Extension built in .NET.


The Benefits


To be determined!
