AutoCAD and Civil 3D automation for infrastructure

AutoCAD and Civil 3D still produce most infrastructure deliverables. JidokaBIM automates them with the AutoCAD .NET and Civil 3D APIs: custom commands, batch drawing production, alignment and corridor tools, earthworks quantities and data extraction into databases, plus IFC 4.3 exports for bridges, roads and rail.

Typical projects

Where it saves the most hours

Batch drawing production

Plot sets, title blocks, layer standards and sheet indexes produced in batch for the whole project.

Corridors and alignments

Tools that build, check and report alignments, profiles and corridors following your design rules.

Quantities to SQL

Extract earthworks and material quantities into SQL or Excel for estimating and progress tracking.

FAQ

AutoCAD and Civil 3D automation: common questions

Do you still develop for plain AutoCAD?

Yes: .NET plug-ins, and LISP or COM when an existing workflow depends on them.

Can Civil 3D models be delivered as IFC 4.3?

Yes. IFC 4.3 covers alignments, roads, rail and bridges, and custom tools can enrich and validate the export before delivery.

Can you migrate our old LISP routines?

Yes. Legacy LISP or VBA tools can be rewritten in .NET, keeping the same commands so users do not have to relearn them.
