Automate Thousands of CAD Drawings. Save Hours of Repetitive Work.

CAD Automation Pro is an independent CAD automation platform designed to streamline repetitive tasks, generate automation scripts, and simplify large-scale drawing workflows. Organize and prepare your scripts and projects independently, then use a compatible AutoCAD installation to generate, run and process your drawings.

CaPro Engine supports 573 commands. Tested ~11 drawings/sec under selected batch conditions; results vary.

In our test, 70,731 drawings were processed in 1 hour 42 minutes (about 11.5 per second) using a drawing cleanup script that runs 53 commands on every drawing, over 3.7 million commands in total, on a 32-thread workstation with AutoCAD 2027. Speed varies with hardware, drawings and script.

Software modules

One CAD automation platform. Two engines.

Module 01

Batch Drawing Engine

Process an entire CAD drawing set in a single run. Replace title blocks, update layers, colors, linetypes and fonts, and rename and renumber files across every sheet. With AutoCAD Electrical, also handle wire numbering, component tagging and BOM updates.

  • CaPro Engine supports 573 commands
  • Scales from a single drawing to large projects
  • Runs up to 8 CaPro Engine sessions per PC in parallel (4 for AutoCAD Electrical runs) and distributes drawings across them to shorten large batches.
  • Organize, browse and edit your scripts and projects without AutoCAD; generating and running scripts requires your own licensed AutoCAD 2018 or later for Windows (not included)
  • With AutoCAD Electrical, also: schematics, single-line, 3-line, loop and panel layouts
AutoCAD Electrical extra

PLC Rack Designer

An added extra designed for AutoCAD Electrical projects: select the modules for a 17-slot PLC rack and press Run. In under 30 seconds, up to 20 drawings are created from scratch; it generates the rack layout and drawing automatically, ready to connect to the rest of your AutoCAD Electrical project.

  • Configure a 17-slot rack by picking modules
  • Import Allen-Bradley 1756 PLC module lists from Excel (.xlsx), CSV or TXT files.
  • Designed for AutoCAD Electrical projects
  • 20 drawings generated in under 30 seconds
  • Drops straight into your CAD project

The engine

How it works

  1. Prepare your projectOrganize scripts and projects, edit scripts, and copy projects without AutoCAD installed or running.
  2. CaPro EngineThe CaPro Engine processes drawings in the background, so you can keep working. No screen redraws, no window rendering.
  3. Batch command executionEvery drawing gets its automated commands in one coordinated pass: title blocks, layers, text and standards, plus wire numbers and tags with AutoCAD Electrical. Execution runs in a compatible CAD execution environment: your own licensed AutoCAD 2018 or later for Windows (not included).
  4. PLC generation (AutoCAD Electrical extra)Pick rack modules, press Run, and I/O sheets, field wiring and interface diagrams are generated with AutoCAD Electrical.
  5. Project-ready outputStandard formats, correct layers and proper annotation, dropped into your existing project for review.
