Engineering production drafting, done by conversation.
DESIC is an AI assistant that lives inside Civil 3D and builds your production plan sets.
The drafting work of days, done in an afternoon, to your firm's own standards.
DESIC. What is it?
DESIC adds a chat window to Civil 3D — a dockable palette, like Sheet Set Manager. Type what you need in plain English: "set up the 60% plan set sheets for this project," "add profiles to the roadway sheets," “create detailed grading plans with matchlines”, “update the view for all sheets”, "renumber everything after C-105."
DESIC does the CAD work — creating drawings and sheets, placing title blocks, framing viewports, running plan-and-profile sheets along alignments, setting up detailed matchline sheets, attaching references, numbering, and registering everything in Sheet Set Manager.
When a task needs a human's judgment — like exactly where to frame a view — DESIC hands you the crosshair, then keeps going. Learn More
Built by a practicing civil engineer, for the drafting grind every practicing civil engineer knows.
The idea that makes it work
Most tools ask you to configure them. DESIC asks you to show it your standards. Click your title block, your north arrow, your scale bar once — DESIC measures and remembers everything: sheet sizes, plottable areas, plot setups, project fields read straight off your own attributes. Nothing firm-specific is hardcoded. Every sheet DESIC produces looks like your firm made it, because your blocks and templates are the configuration.
Feature Highlights
Full plan-set creation — Generate multi-drawing batches from your firm’s seed template with consistent title blocks, viewports, north arrows, and scale bars that auto-label correctly on every sheet.
Plan-and-profile runs — Produce complete sheet sets along road alignments with automatic profile matching and matchlines, all created in a single pass.
Built-in safety — Automatic project snapshots before major operations, an operation trace log, and robust crash recovery that resumes exactly where you left off.
Sheet Set Manager, handled — Seamless registration, sorted numbering, and renumbering that rewrites "SEE SHEET" references plus field refresh so everything plots correctly the first time.
