Infrastructure CAD platform

Automate DGN standards, references, packages, and parity work in MicroStation.

CAD Guardian supports MicroStation and DGN workflows across seed files, levels, cells, references, metadata, exports, packages, standards, and controlled parity with existing CAD tooling.

Drawing context: DGN, seed files, levels, cells, references, models, and sheets
Workflows: Standards, exports, package creation, validation, and migration parity
starting point: One DGN package, reference path, standards check, or export class
Validation: Representative DGNs, expected standards, outputs, and exception cases

Implementation diagramEngineering systems integration map

The integration boundary follows the engineering decision and its owners across systems, records, and documents.

Platform fit

Best when DGN behavior and infrastructure standards can be inspected explicitly.

MicroStation work is strongest when seed, level, cell, reference, model, sheet, export, and package expectations are captured before automation or cross-platform parity expands.

Repeated DGN editing, standards, metadata, reference, export, or package work
AutoCAD-to-MicroStation or legacy-tool parity requirements
Infrastructure CAD standards that depend on hidden operator knowledge
Scripts, VBA, macros, or utilities that need a supportable implementation path

Capabilities

Automate DGN workflows around standards and reviewable output.

MicroStation .NET and supported automation-surface development
Level, cell, reference, model, sheet, property, and standards operations
Batch processing, exports, packages, validation, and exception reporting
Cross-platform behavior mapping and controlled parity implementation
Operator interfaces, diagnostics, deployment, rollback, and handoff

Integration

DGN workflows can connect to engineering records and delivery systems.

Document management, project records, asset data, reporting, and workflow systems
APIs, SQL, files, spreadsheets, controlled imports, and exports
PDF, DWG, DXF, data extract, transmittal, and package handoff
Validation logs, exception queues, status reporting, and support workflows

Modernization

Modernize around behavior parity and DGN operating context.

01 — Inventory commands, standards, workspaces, files, references, and outputs.
02 — Define accepted DGN examples and explicit parity requirements.
03 — Separate domain rules, platform operations, UI, integration, and logging.
04 — Validate target-version behavior, exceptions, and package output.
05 — Release with deployment, rollback, support, and known-gap documentation.

Relevant implementation

Evidence should make parity, standards, and package rules inspectable.

Public evidence can demonstrate architecture and generalized DGN workflow patterns. Client workspaces, standards, drawings, and production results remain inside the agreed private environment.

Runnable demonstrationManufacturing

Evaluate engineering automation with runnable proof before private implementation begins.

The kits make job contracts, fixtures, checks, reports, and runtime limitations directly inspectable.

Turn quoting into a governed path from RFQ intake to engineering handoff.

The problem was not simply replacing Excel. The useful rules and operator knowledge had to survive while request quality, configuration state, documents, status, and responsibility became easier to inspect.

Drive the quote, CAD model, BOM, and drawing package from one door-frame decision.

Door-frame decisions were repeated across quote inputs, CAD parameters, material logic, and drawing output, increasing re-entry and mismatch risk.

Delivery considerations

MicroStation editions, workspaces, schemas, and custom content affect behavior.

Production proof requires the target MicroStation release, workspace, standards, schemas, custom content, references, dependencies, and representative DGN packages. Cross-platform parity is an explicit mapping exercise, not a direct command translation.

Object and API behavior can vary across MicroStation generations and vertical applications
Seed files, worksets, configuration, fonts, schemas, and reference paths affect output
Automated standards checks do not replace accountable engineering review

Next step

Bring the MicroStation workflow that needs to move faster and release reliably.

Name the current workflow, accepted output, platform version, dependencies, known failure cases, and the first decision the engagement should resolve.
