Batch process AutoCAD Electrical projects - by .WDP

AutoCAD Electrical organizes your schematics into a project (.WDP) file. When it is time to plot the whole project, update every title block, or push a standards change across all the drawings, doing it sheet by sheet is painful. Hurricane reads the project file directly and queues every drawing in it - so you can batch the entire project in one run.

What you can do with an ACADE project in Hurricane:

  • Queue every drawing from the .WDP in one click - no hunting through folders.
  • Batch plot the whole project to a printer or PDF.
  • Update title-block attributes across all sheets at once.
  • Run any script or LISP across the entire project set.
  • Spot stragglers - queue the DWGs in the folder that are not in the project, so nothing slips through.

Why this matters for electrical drafters

A control-panel or machine project can run to dozens or hundreds of schematic sheets. Reissuing the set, applying a revised title block, or plotting to PDF for a submittal is exactly the kind of repetitive, all-or-nothing job that eats an afternoon. Hurricane turns it into a queued batch you can even schedule overnight with Night Run.

Works with your existing AutoCAD Electrical setup

Hurricane runs alongside AutoCAD Electrical without changing your settings - it simply automates the repetitive work across the project. It also works with full AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, BricsCAD, IntelliCAD and DraftSight, so mixed-platform teams are covered.
