We eliminate
repetitive tasks
so your engineers can actually engineer.

Custom CAD & Workflow Automation

Custom automation tools built with AutoLISP, Python, and companion applications designed to reduce repetitive work inside AutoCAD and engineering workflows.

• Command-based tools inside AutoCAD
• Dialog automation (factory objects, properties, etc.)
• One-click routines for repetitive edits

Engineering Workflow Assessment

A focused review of repetitive engineering tasks, drafting processes, BOM workflows, and documentation systems to identify realistic automation opportunities.

• Identify high-friction steps
• Map current vs ideal workflows
• Deliver concrete automation opportunities
• Optional review of reality-capture workflows, including LiDAR, point clouds, and data management.

Tool Design & Implementation

From concept to a working command/button on your ribbon or toolbar including documentation and clear instruction so your team actually uses it.

• Custom EXEs and helper apps
• Deployment folder structures
• Training & simple user guides

AutoBOM Translation & Excel Integration

We build BOM helpers that take raw AutoCAD queries and turn them into clean, standardized BOMs mapped to your part numbers and Excel templates.

• Translates queries into your internal part numbers
• Optimizes necessary part numbers and materials into full size lengths to order
• Pastes directly into your existing Excel BOM sheets

Systems Layout Accelerator (GF-SLA)

A complete AutoLISP and tooling suite that makes Systems Layout faster, more consistent, and easier to staff so senior engineers can focus on design instead of repetitive setup and cleanup.

• Standardized, company-specific layer nomenclature and controls.
• One-command sheet setup for kit sheets, install sheets, and model views.
• Dimension helpers and automated dimensioning systems, plus QA checks (dimscale, ordinates, rotated dims, etc.).
• Automated callout extraction directly from drawings.
• GF-SLA can be tuned to your standards so new team members can produce high-quality outputs quickly.

The problem

A systems layout team needed to adjust blowback color values for dozens of factory control cabinets across multiple drawings. The only way to do it was:

• Individually select each cabinet one-by-one
• Right-click → modify factory object
• Change a 0/1 value by hand
• Repeat, over and over

Result: time-consuming, boring work with a high chance of missed devices or inconsistent values.

The Guerilla Forge solution

We built a single AutoCAD command that:

• Finds all relevant cabinets on specific layers
• Automatically opens their modify dialogs, one by one
• Hands control to a companion EXE that sets the correct blowback value
• Returns “Done.” when every object is processed

Impact: drastic reduction in manual effort, fewer missed cabinets, and a repeatable workflow that can be run any time the design changes.

The problem

A project manager needed a lightweight way to improve visibility into incoming engineering datasets. Office staff often did not realize when new work had been uploaded by field teams, leading to delays and manual checking throughout the day.

Result: Time was wasted monitoring shared folders, and newly uploaded work could sit unnoticed before being processed.

The Guerilla Forge solution

Rather than introducing a custom application, Guerilla Forge recommended a native PowerShell-based approach that fit within the organization's existing IT environment.

• Automatically scans designated engineering folders
• Detects newly received datasets
• Updates a shared Excel tracker automatically
• Requires no additional software deployment

Impact: Improved visibility into incoming engineering work, reduced manual folder checking, and leveraged existing Windows tools for a lightweight, deployment-friendly solution.
