Automatic Documentation is a new stand-alone software tool that is compatible with AutoCAD and can be integrated with any CAD Design Software Design Suite.

Software Feature: Automatic Documentation Setup

AUTOMATIC DOCUMENTATION:  GONE IN 60 SECONDS!!

CAD Design Software’s new Automatic Documentation tool makes a difficult task easy and lightning quick!  It automatically makes an entire documentation package with multiple sheets, each containing one or more Viewports, with titles, details and notes.  All data is automatically inserted using your customized and easily loaded configuration files.

Once your standard configuration files are stored, a new design can be documented in a matter of minutes. Every time the model is changed, the Viewports in all the Layout tabs are simultaneously updated.

Key Features Include:

  1. Fully automatic generation of Fabrication and Assembly documentation in one to two minutes
  2. Automatically configures from Gerber, GDS and LX batch files
  3. Makes any number of Sheets with any number of Viewports
  4. Inserts multiple notes and details in any sheet at any location
  5. Preview feature allows quick view before making the Sheets/Viewports
  6. Works with AutoCAD dimensions and other features
  7. Once documentation is done it automatically updates when the Model is changed
  8. Stores and reads back files for fully automatic configurations
  9. Runs in AutoCAD Layout tabs (Paperspace), the standard place for PCB documentation
  10. Custom features unique to your company for custom automation can be added
  11. Output to any AutoCAD output format, print .PDF (with PDF writer), view and share DWF files with free AutoDesk Design Review software

 


  • Master, Sheet and Viewport configuration files are stored in a hierarchy. The Master configuration lists each Sheet configuration used and each Sheet configuration lists all the Viewport configurations used on that sheet. All configurations are also stored locally in the drawing for easy access and portability.
