Add-on · document and drawing tooling

Ask your drawings questions

Point it at a drawing or a PDF and ask. It won't replace your eye on a drawing, but it'll pull the detail you'd otherwise hunt for, and it catches the cross-document misses that eat hours.

The everyday ones

paste this to your assistant

Open the latest mechanical drawing for level 3 in Dropbox. What's the duct
size in the corridor ceiling? And pull the door schedule out of that PDF
into a table I can paste into a mail.

The questions you currently wait on someone else to answer, or squint at a PDF for. It reads the file and hands you the number or the table.

The one that earns its keep

paste this to your assistant

Read this drawing set as a SET, not one sheet at a time. What's missing,
what contradicts, what deviates from the spec section in Dropbox? Quote the
drawing number on every point.

Made-up shape of what comes back: "Sheet E-204 shows the riser on gridline 5; the layout on E-201 puts it on gridline 6. The spec calls for a 2-hour rated enclosure, neither drawing notes a rating. Three sockets on the small-power layout have no circuit reference." The stuff that's invisible reading one sheet at a time, surfaced before it bites on site.

What it is, and isn't

It reads, you decide. It flags and extracts. The engineering call stays yours.
Extraction, not a rewrite. Splitting a consultant report by trade, pulling a schedule, listing clashes: you get the real content, not a summary that's lost the detail.
An add-on. It needs the document tooling switched on, Part 6 of the pack. Worth it the first time a drawing question would've cost you half a day.
