Comprehensive Toolset

Query elements, manage levels, draw geometry, model 3D solids, annotate, and check standards

Query & Inspect Free

Scan elements with level and type filters, read properties, ranges and tags, count what sits on a level, and check file and model info.

Level Standards & DGNLIB Pro

Create, rename and control levels, sync them from your DGNLIB standards libraries, and report levels, text and symbology that do not comply.

sync_levels_from_dgnlib check_level_standards check_text_standards generate_standards_report
References Pro

Attach DGN and DWG references, detach and reload them, toggle their display, and set nesting depth and level overrides.

Views, Camera & Fence Pro

Drive display flags, render mode and the camera, and define a fence to scope an operation to one part of the model.

set_camera set_render_mode define_fence set_view_display_flags
Files, Print & Housekeeping Pro

Create, open and save design files, convert a whole folder of them to DWG in one pass, print to PDF at a chosen paper size, then compress and purge.
