At DuckWorks, we pride ourselves on designing solutions that meet the real needs of millwork professionals.
Innovation often stems from necessity. The DuckWorks Microvellum CAD Template is no exception, born out of the need to streamline processes and enhance drafting workflows.
The Need for a Better Template
Many clients either lacked templates or had ones riddled with inefficiencies that increased workloads and slowed down projects. For example, a title block without attributes requires updates on every individual sheet—a time-consuming process. In contrast, our template uses block attributes to automate changes across the entire project, saving hours of work and reducing errors.
A well-structured template with dynamic blocks, annotative elements, and a robust title block isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. It allows drafters to focus on creating millwork elements rather than worrying about layers, dimensions, or text consistency, leading to better results and faster project completion.
Meeting Industry Standards
Jacob Edmond, our CEO, envisioned a template that would go beyond conventional drafting practices. He recognized the importance of including features like cover series pages with essential project details—hardware, materials, and equipment—all tailored to industry requirements.
The Development Journey
The project was led by Yeny, an Autodesk Certified Instructor with over a decade of experience. Building on a foundation established in AutoCAD by DuckWorks colleagues (like Enrique, our Training Coordinator), Yeny integrated advanced features, refined designs based on Jacob’s insights, and ensured seamless compatibility with both AutoCAD and Microvellum. Weekly reviews ensured the final product met exacting standards.
Integrating with Microvellum
One of the standout features of this template is its ability to link attributes directly with Microvellum. By connecting project and room properties, users can make updates effortlessly, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
Testing and Iteration
The template underwent rigorous testing by both Microvellum engineers and AutoCAD users, incorporating feedback to fine-tune its functionality. After five revisions and comprehensive testing, the DuckWorks Microvellum CAD Template stands as a tool ready to transform how millwork professionals approach drafting.
A Call for Feedback
While the template has already streamlined workflows internally, we’re eager to hear from our clients. Your feedback will help us refine this tool even further, ensuring it continues to exceed expectations.
