CADXChange

CADXChange Toolkit

Change a whole set of drawings as easily as one.

Edit title blocks and notes in Excel, replace blocks, bring layers and page setups to your standard, and see exactly what changed between two revisions. Seven tools in one window, built for folders of drawings. Preview first, back up automatically, check afterwards.

Windows 10 and 11 · 30-day full trial · DwgSearch and the DWG viewer always free

The same safe routine in every tool

  • Preview before anything is written

    Every change is listed first, old value next to new, with the rows that cannot be written marked and explained.

  • Backed up automatically

    Each drawing is copied before it is touched. Roll back one drawing, the whole run, or an earlier run.

  • Checked after writing

    Every saved drawing is read back and compared with what was intended. A mismatch is reported, not hidden.

Seven tools, one job each

Pick the one that matches the job. They share the same window, the same files and the same routine.

Excel and drawings

BlockSync

Edit title blocks and attributes in Excel.

Export the block attributes of a whole folder to one workbook, change them where you can filter, fill down and paste, and write them back to every drawing. Revision, date, client, address: one edit instead of a hundred.

  • Filter and fill down in Excel, not in AutoCAD
  • Changes are listed per drawing before writing
  • Works on the attributes of any block, not only title blocks

TextSync

Fix notes and text across the set.

Export all text of a folder to Excel, find and replace in bulk, check spelling, and write it back. A changed cable type or a reworded note, corrected on every sheet in one pass.

  • Find and replace across every drawing
  • Only the text you changed is touched
  • Spell check before you write

Standardize

LayerSync

Make every drawing follow your standard.

Merge and rename layers to your layer standard, set colors and linetypes, bring dimension styles and page setups into line, fix external reference paths and clean out what is unused. Type the mapping once, apply it to the whole set.

  • Merge WALL, wall and Walls-New into A-WALL in every drawing
  • Set plot device, paper size, style table and scale for many layouts at once
  • Edit in the grid or in Excel

Compare

BlockCompare

See exactly what changed in blocks.

Compare two revisions of a folder of drawings and get a list of every changed block and attribute: REV A to B, a new date, a different drawn-by. Sheets that did not change in this respect are shown as unchanged.

  • Pairs the two revisions for you and shows the pairing
  • Old and new values side by side
  • Export the list to Excel

TextCompare

See exactly what changed in notes and text.

The same comparison for text: which notes were reworded, added or removed between two issues of a set, with the old and new wording.

  • Reworded, added and removed notes per drawing
  • Jump to the change in the viewer
  • Export the list to Excel

Find

DwgSearch

Free

Search a whole folder of drawings. Free.

Find text, block attributes, block names, tables, leaders and dimensions across a whole folder of drawings, jump straight to the match, and export the hits to Excel. Always free, trial or not.

  • Searches text, attributes, blocks and dimensions
  • Opens the match in the viewer
  • Results export to Excel

A DWG viewer comes with it, free

Open any drawing, or two revisions side by side, from the match or the report that found it. It stays free after the trial.

Questions

Do I need AutoCAD running?
No. The tools work on the DWG files themselves, so you can run them on a folder while AutoCAD is closed. Close drawings that are open in AutoCAD before writing to them, because an open file can be locked.
Can it break my drawings?
Every change is previewed first, every drawing is backed up before it is written, and each saved drawing is read back and compared with what was intended. If something does not match, it is reported, and Rollback restores the original.
How many drawings can I work on at once?
Whole folders. Add files or a folder, and every tool works through them in one run.
What stays free after the trial?
DwgSearch and the DWG viewer, and everything that only reads: scanning, previewing, comparing. Writing to drawings and exporting need a licence.
Which languages does it speak?
English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
