Hardware Schedule → AutoCAD Workbook

Upload a submittal PDF. You get back the template-shaped Excel file, ready to bring into AutoCAD.

  1. On a large submittal, fill in Only these pages with the schedule page numbers. Most pages of one are purchase orders, estimates and cut sheets, and reading them costs money for nothing.
  2. Pick the submittal or RFI PDF, then press Start. Choosing a file does nothing on its own — you can change the settings or swap the file first, and the button tells you what it is about to read.
  3. Wait for the bar to finish — roughly ten seconds per page. Leave this tab open.
  4. The .xlsx lands in your Downloads folder automatically.
  5. Open the “Review” tab first. Anything the tool had to guess, or could not find, is listed there. Fix those before using the workbook.
Step 1 — settings
Leave blank to read the whole document. On a big submittal most pages are purchase orders and cut sheets — naming just the schedule pages is faster and much cheaper. Page numbers in the workbook still refer to the original document.
Check the schedule before changing this. If a set covers 20 openings and lists 40 continuous hinges, that is a total — pick the second option and each sheet gets 2. If it lists 2, it is already per opening; leave the first. Guessing wrong is wrong by however many openings share the set.
Step 2 — the PDF
