Excel / PDF / Image to CAD-ready Data
Turn packing lists, cargo tables,and screenshots intoCAD drafting data
Ex2cad extracts tables from Excel, PDF, JPG, PNG, and clipboard screenshots, identifies package numbers, quantities, weights, dimensions, and CBM, then generates structured data for CAD drafting preparation.

drafting-ready output
Designed for drafting preparation
Reduce repetitive cleanup between packing lists and CAD drafting
When customers only provide PDFs, scans, or screenshots, drafting teams often have to rebuild tables, split dimensions, and verify weights and volumes by hand. Ex2cad brings that preparation into one reviewable workflow so data is complete and consistent before it enters CAD.
Core features
A complete path from recognition and mapping to review
OCR table recognition
Recognize table structure and cell content from screenshots, scanned tables, and PDF documents, even when the original Excel file is unavailable.
Smart field mapping
Identify package numbers, descriptions, quantities, net weight, gross weight, L/W/H, and CBM, with manual adjustment for customer-specific column names.
LxWxH dimension splitting
Automatically split length, width, and height when they are written in one cell, reducing copy-paste work and formula cleanup.
CAD-ready output
Generate drafting preparation data from package dimensions and cargo information, reducing risks from manual entry, repeated layout work, and missing fields.
Data review and editing
Review recognized rows, edit tables, delete rows or columns, and undo mistaken deletions before conversion so the output data stays trustworthy.
Workflow
Five steps from source files to CAD data
Choose a source
Import Excel, PDF, JPG, or PNG files, or paste a clipboard screenshot directly.
Extract tables
Parse native tables automatically, or use OCR to recognize images and scanned documents.
Map fields
Confirm column relationships for package numbers, descriptions, quantities, weights, dimensions, and CBM.
Review and correct
Edit recognition results, remove invalid rows or columns, and undo accidental operations.
Generate output
Export structured data for CAD drafting preparation.

Output content adapts to the drawing area
Ex2cad adjusts generated text sizes based on the available drawing area, reducing overflow in long narrow blocks or small package blocks. Dimensions, IDs, and descriptions stay easier to read and more stable before CAD drafting.
- Centralized management for dimensions, package IDs, and descriptions
- Weights, volumes, and CBM can be reviewed before conversion
- Text fitting reduces CAD annotation rework
Use cases
Built for frequent packing and drafting preparation work
Packing list to CAD data
Organize IDs, quantities, dimensions, weights, and volumes from customer-supplied packing lists.
PDF table extraction
Convert non-editable PDF tables back into data that can be mapped and reviewed.
Screenshot and scan processing
Paste screenshots or import images directly, reducing temporary saves, format conversion, and manual table rebuilding.
Packing layout drafting prep
Standardize dimension fields before CAD drafting and reduce errors caused by mixed L/W/H notation.
