Integrations

Does Spectr integrate with AutoCAD?

Yes. Spectr imports from AutoCAD so the BOM and barcode-ready product records come from the issued drawing — instead of a second takeoff in Excel. Detailing stays in AutoCAD. Spectr runs the job after design exists.

See this on your jobs CAD to BOM

Key facts

Spectr’s public design page names AutoCAD as a source for auto-generated BOMs.
The mark on the drawing should be the mark on the label.
Spectr does not replace AutoCAD or your detailers.
Revisions should update the same product record, not a parallel workbook.

How shops handle this

Issue the drawing the shop will build
Not a working file someone still has open.
Generate Spectr products from AutoCAD
Skip the blank spreadsheet.
Check the nest and the cutlist
Then label.
Keep AutoCAD as the detailing tool
The ERP owns status after issue.

Common questions

We also draft in Rhino.

Pick the file of record for the issued set. Do not import two conflicting mark schemes.

Can we type the BOM instead?

You can. You will reintroduce the error CAD import is meant to remove.
