AutoCAD add-in for Dusty Robotics workflows, built by BIM One.
Adds a BIM One ribbon tab in AutoCAD with four tools purpose-built for preparing and validating DWG files before sending them to a Dusty FieldPrinter.
Map existing DWG layers to Dusty Robotics DR- naming conventions, assign linestyles, and manage intent (printable / reference / obstacle). Save and reload presets across projects.
Scans model space for collinear, overlapping line segments. Overlapping lines can corrupt Dusty linestyle rendering on site. Reports every pair, shows the overlap length and location, and can auto-fix fully-contained duplicates.
Place DUSTY_CP marker blocks interactively with name and description attributes, then export them as a Dusty-standard CSV file (Point Name, X, Y, Z, Description).
Quick on/off toggle panel for all layers in the current drawing, useful for isolating what gets printed.
