SFQcad

Keep the craft. Lose the repetition.

A practical toolkit for the drawing tasks CAD teams repeat every day—built to feel focused, predictable and close to the workflow you already know.

01Focused CAD toolkit

Annotation, blocks, layouts, drafting and cleanup.

02AutoCAD 2024

Current confirmed host.

03Workflow-first

Ribbon tools and direct commands stay close to daily CAD work.

Illustrated SFQcad workflow preview.

What it helps with

The high-frequency work between start and issue.

SFQcad groups related tools by the job at hand, so drafters can spend less time searching for routines and more time finishing drawings.

01Annotate

Keep drawing data connected

Create area fields, labels and leaders with less manual retyping and fewer disconnected values.

02Blocks

Handle blocks with confidence

Count, rename, copy, export and clean block content through focused tools built around real drafting tasks.

03Layouts

Tame repetitive sheet work

Sort tabs, copy work across layouts and apply page setup changes without stepping through every sheet.

04Clean up

Finish with a cleaner file

Bring common audit, purge, layer, hatch and dimension cleanup actions into one consistent workflow.

05Draft

Move faster through daily edits

Use practical helpers for line lengths, styles, dimensions, linetype text and other high-frequency work.

06Batch

Reduce file-by-file repetition

Apply selected operations across drawings when a task should not require opening every file by hand.

Current LSP toolkit

Designed to stay understandable

A toolkit, not a black box.

Commands ask for clear inputs, show their choices at the command line and keep changes inside the drawing workflow. You remain in control of the result.

  1. 01Choose a task

    Use the SFQ ribbon or type the command directly.

  2. 02Confirm the scope

    Select the drawing objects, layouts or files involved.

  3. 03Review the result

    Continue working in CAD with the output visible and editable.
