Roll X Manufacturing – Design Automation

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.

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.

• 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
