Hurricane for AutoCAD

Hurricane for AutoCAD, developed by 74mph Solutions, is a highly specialized batch scripting and automation tool that significantly enhances productivity for CAD professionals and CAD managers working with large numbers of DWG files. Rather than functioning as a plugin within AutoCAD itself, Hurricane operates as a standalone script generator, allowing users to create, queue, and run command sequences across multiple drawings in one streamlined session. This makes it an invaluable solution for repetitive tasks such as purging drawings, binding Xrefs, batch plotting, updating title blocks, running attribute edits, applying layer or text changes, and executing search-and-replace operations. One of its most powerful features is the “Command Capture” function, which records actions performed in AutoCAD and converts them into reusable script code, greatly simplifying script creation for users unfamiliar with scripting syntax. Hurricane also includes built-in wizards for common operations, such as purging, logging text, or updating attributes, and allows the user to drag and drop folders or files directly into the queue for fast batch preparation.
