Architecture proof
Architectural Manufacturing Software + CAD Automation Experience
CAD automation plus the manufacturing system around it.
Thomas’s software background includes internal .NET/VB tooling for architectural manufacturing workflows: Autodesk Inventor API automation, CAD configurators, parameter and iProperty updates, Pack-and-Go, automated drawings, PDF shop packs, DXF exports, BOM extraction/classification, Excel quote/BOM workflows, label and barcode generation, RFQ/job-folder tooling, engineering queue/status surfaces, lifecycle modules, and deployment packaging. That experience helps him design engineering software that respects both the CAD model and the business process around it.
CAD Guardian helps manufacturers modernize the space between CAD models, product configuration, quote/RFQ data, BOMs, drawing packages, PDFs, DXFs, labels/barcodes, project folders, lifecycle status, desktop deployment, and production handoff. Thomas’s prior architectural manufacturing software work gives him practical context for building automation that serves engineering, estimating, operations, production, IT, and deployment together.

- Manufacturing outputs: recursive sheet-metal flat-pattern DXF export, drawing/PDF generation, shop-pack and submittal workflows
- Excel automation: COM workbooks, ListObject tables, table expansion, page breaks, print areas, barcode/image placement, missing-data flags, multi-workbook merge, and quote/BOM handoff
- Desktop operations: feature toggles/config loading, version display, update/release workflow concepts, user reporting, and internal deployment packaging
Problems automated
- Replaced manual model parameter edits with guided configurator-driven updates
- Replaced repeated drawing, PDF, DXF, and BOM handoff steps with one workflow surface
