One of AutoCAD's most powerful features is the ability to customize its environment using a wide range of programming tools.  These tools include Visual Lisp (AutoLISP), Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), and Visual Basic (VB).  What I have found to be true over the past several years is that a company who realizes the benefits of customizing AutoCAD can experience tremendous cost savings.  This provides a competitive edge that is so critical in today’s economy.

I began customizing AutoCAD in 1988 with menus and simple AutoLISP routines to automate insertion of standard blocks.  My programming abilities expanded as I developed a parametric system to handle multiple CAD standards.  This system was able to keep custom commands the same from project to project, and the various CAD standards were fed into them.  The CAD user only had to learn one set of commands, and the programs managed the CAD standards in the background.  I have worked in the automotive conveyor industry for over 17 years.  During this time, I have created thousands of engineering drawings, managed projects, provided CAD training, and more.  I have a very good understanding for what a CAD user needs to do his or her job better and faster than the average user.

JCK Custom CAD Services can help transform your "out-of-the-box" AutoCAD into a powerful, efficient, and flexible application.  I can develop programs to handle repetitive and demanding tasks which will improve drawing accuracy and eliminate drafting errors.  I can automate your drawing setup, plotting, bill of material, batch processes, insertion of standard blocks, and more.  Your CAD users can have their favorite and most frequently used commands at their fingertips by adding tool palettes, custom menus and toolbars.  Even the smallest custom program can have a time-saving impact.
