AutoCAD Drawing Analysis & Coordination
Extract AutoCAD design intent and coordinate technical reviews
What You Can Do
You upload AutoCAD drawings and Claude extracts the design intent, spatial relationships, and technical details to generate coordinated documentation for multi-disciplinary teams. Claude analyzes drawing geometry, layers, and annotations to produce clash detection summaries, coordination matrices, and standardized technical specs that align architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines.
Features
identifying spatial constraints, clearances, and coordination zones
documenting which systems interact, potential conflicts, and discipline responsibilities
identifying spatial conflicts between structural, MEP, and architectural elements with severity levels and recommended resolutions
equipment schedules, material specs, and installation notes extracted from drawing data
categorizing drawing elements by discipline, system type, and priority for cross-checking
prioritizing clashes, action items, and required stakeholder input based on drawing analysis
tracking how design changes in one discipline affect others
verifying completeness, accuracy, and compliance with coordination standards before stakeholder review
Example Output
Clash Detection Report
| Clash ID | Location | Description | Severity | Disciplines | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CLH-001 | 3rd Floor, East Wing | HVAC duct conflicts with beam soffit (2" clearance) | High | MEP + Structural | Reroute duct 18" south or lower beam |
| CLH-002 | Mechanical Room | Plumbing stub conflicts with electrical panel | Medium | Plumbing + Electrical | Relocate panel 3 ft east |
Coordination Matrix
| System | Architectural | Structural | MEP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HVAC Distribution | Ceiling integration required | Beam routing conflicts | Primary owner | Coordinate soffit heights |
| Electrical Panels | Wall recess provided | Verify load ratings | Adjacent to HVAC | Review thermal separation |
Equipment Schedule (Extracted)
