CAD Drawing Engine

Database Integration

The firewall between a CAD file and your space database

What is database integration in CAFM?

Database integration is where drawing geometry becomes space data. The engine generates high-resolution web tiles, sanity-checks drawing scale, colour codes what changed, flags unidentified spaces, blocks duplicate room IDs, provisions records for split rooms, and publishes committed plans downstream automatically.

8 tools in this set

High-Res Visual Tile Generator

Direct-to-platform CAD upload that generates high-resolution tiles for the web interface.

Level 1 Linking & Floors Scale Audit

Measure gross area via the Floors template and run a scale sanity check.

Colour-Coded Audit States

Legend colour coding: grey for a perfect match, purple for recalculated spaces.

Unidentified Space Flag

Flag closed polylines on the space layer with no room text identifier.

Upload Firewall: Duplicate Key Error

Block uploads when multiple polylines share the same room Text ID.

Room Split Record Provisioning

Detect split polylines with new text IDs and automatically provision new database records.

Micro-Audit Zoom & Navigation

Single click highlights the database row; double click zooms the camera to the space.

Downstream CAFM Sync & Automation

Committed links instantly publish updated plans for occupant requests and automated PDF printing.

Most CAFM data quality problems are import problems. Validating at the upload boundary is the cheapest place to catch them.
A unit error, a millimetre drawing read as feet, can distort an entire portfolio's area reporting in one upload.
Duplicate room IDs are primary key collisions. Blocking them at upload prevents silent data loss downstream.
