The Challenge
Anthony Harris needed an efficient way to generate custom parts lists under multiple views on technical drawings. Doing this manually was time-consuming and prone to error, especially across a large portfolio of client work.
What we delivered
Modern CAD customised an extension to the Design Gear API Tool Template, creating a plug-in that generates parts lists automatically for selected views while preserving formatting and positions. This significantly cut down manual work and ensured all-important accuracy.
Highlights
• Automatic single-line parts list generation.
• Parts lists tracks with view positioning on the original sheet.
• Minimal setup using existing infrastructure.
• Huge time savings across every single project.
The tailored solution transformed a repetitive manual task into a fast, one-click only workflow. By automating parts list generation, the process became not only faster but also far more accurate, freeing up time for higher-value engineering tasks and improving overall project efficiency for clients.
“It works perfectly and saves me hours. Exactly what I needed, done fast and right.” – Anthony Harris
