DrawingOps automates the boring, error-prone, deadline-eating parts of CAD title-block management. Bulk update, drawing register, change tracking, standards enforcement, and incoming-drawings intake — five tools, one app.
If you run an engineering office, you know the drill. The drawings change. The revision date gets stamped wrong on three sheets. The architect sends a new floor plan but no one updates the master register. The structural sub-consultant ships drawings with their own title block instead of yours. Tomorrow there's an audit, and someone has to compile a register of every drawing currently in the project — by hand.
Each individual task is small. Five minutes here, ten minutes there. But across a project, across a year, across a team of five engineers, it adds up to hundreds of hours. Hours that nobody bills for, nobody enjoys, and nobody catches when something slips through.
DrawingOps replaces that. Five focused modules, one keyboard shortcut, no more spreadsheet gymnastics.
Each module solves one specific problem. They share the same project settings, the same attribute mappings, and the same audit-grade output formats.
Bulk-update title block attributes from an Excel spreadsheet. Map your columns once, write to 200 drawings in seconds. Dry-run mode confirms what will change before anything is touched.
Walk a folder, extract every title-block field from every drawing, generate a complete drawing register. Outputs Excel + CSV + audit-quality PDF in one click.
Compare two snapshots of the project (Rev. A vs Rev. B). Get a structured diff with severity classification (TRIVIAL / MINOR / MAJOR / CRITICAL) and an auto-populated revision history table.
Define your firm's title-block standard once. Lint every drawing against it — required blocks, allowed values, regex patterns, consistency rules. Outputs an ISO 9001-grade compliance certificate.
Manage drawings arriving from sub-consultants. Define sources, scan an inbox, get color-coded triage (NEW / REVISED / COLLISION / STANDARDS-FAIL). Auto-move on accept with collision check. Persistent custody log.
Five modules, one window, one keyboard shortcut. Shared presets and standards across modules. Works with .dxf out of the box; .dwg with ODA File Converter or AutoCAD installed.
The thing nobody else does well: a tamper-evident chain-of-custody log for every drawing in the project.
When ISO 9001 auditors ask "what version of the architect's plans was used when the structural calcs were done in March?", most offices answer by digging through email archives. DrawingOps answers in three seconds.
Every drawing that arrives gets logged. Timestamp, source, SHA-256 hash, who accepted it, what its title block said. Every revision, every rejection, every replacement — written to an append-only ledger that lives inside your project folder. Export to PDF for the audit binder, or filter by date range for a weekly status meeting.
You're the person who keeps the drawing register in shape. DrawingOps is the tool you've been faking with macros and Excel formulas — but actually built for the job.
5–50 person firms shipping civil, structural, MEP, or architectural projects. Where the document controller role is shared among the team because nobody can justify a full-time hire.
You don't want to use it daily — but you want the audit-grade reports it produces, and you want your team to stop burning hours on title-block fixes the night before delivery.
