What Guerilla Forge does for engineering teams

We don’t sell boxed software. We sit inside your reality, study how your team actually works, and then build simple, user-friendly tools that remove the drag from your process.

Core Service

Custom CAD & Workflow Automation

We’ve solved complex workflow issues with a specialty in AutoLISP, Python, and UI automation that removes clicks, dialogs, and manual edits from your day.

  • Command-based tools inside AutoCAD
  • Dialog automation (factory objects, properties, etc.)
  • One-click routines for repetitive edits

Consulting

Engineering Workflow Assessment

A structured review of how your team handles layouts, BOMs, and documentation – and where automation can make the biggest difference.

  • Identify high-friction steps
  • Map current vs ideal workflows
  • Deliver concrete automation opportunities
  • Optional review of reality-capture workflows, including LiDAR, point clouds, and data management.

Deliverables

Tool Design & Implementation

From concept to a working command/button on your ribbon or toolbar – including documentation and clear instruction so your team actually uses it.

  • Custom EXEs and helper apps
  • Deployment folder structures
  • Training & simple user guides
Targeted tools Low-friction rollout
Featured

AutoBOM Translation & Excel Integration

We build BOM helpers that take raw AutoCAD queries and turn them into clean, standardized BOMs – mapped to your part numbers and Excel templates.

  • Translates queries into your internal part numbers
  • Optimizes necessary part numbers and materials into full size lengths to order
  • Pastes directly into your existing Excel BOM sheets

Flagship Suite

Systems Layout Accelerator (GF-SLA)

A complete AutoLISP and tooling suite that makes Systems Layout faster, more consistent, and easier to staff – so senior engineers can focus on design instead of repetitive setup and cleanup.

  • Standardized, company-specific layer nomenclature and controls.
  • One-command sheet setup for kit sheets, install sheets, and model views.
  • Dimension helpers and automated dimensioning systems, plus QA checks (dimscale, ordinates, rotated dims, etc.).
  • Automated callout extraction directly from drawings.
  • GF-SLA can be tuned to your standards so new team members can produce high-quality outputs quickly.
Process

How an engagement with Guerilla Forge works

No over-the-top sales pitch. Just a simple, transparent path from annoying and repetitive tasks to working automation.

1

Free workflow audit

We start with a short conversation and review of a real drawing, process, BOM, or workflow. The goal is to understand the repetitive pieces that slow your team down.

2

Proposal & fixed quote

Based on your priorities, we outline proposed tools, expected time savings, and a fixed-cost project scope with clear deliverables.

3

Build & iterate

We develop your automation, test it, and refine until it fits naturally into your existing workflow.

4

Delivery & support

You get the tool, light documentation, and optional follow-up support as your team starts using it day-to-day.

Sample Case

Internal blowback automation for control cabinets

An example of how a small, targeted tool can quietly replace hours of tedious clicking.

The problem

A systems layout team needed to adjust blowback color values for dozens of factory control cabinets across multiple drawings. The only way to do it was:

  • Individually select each cabinet one-by-one
  • Right-click → modify factory object
  • Change a 0/1 value by hand
  • Repeat, over and over

Result: time-consuming, boring work with a high chance of missed devices or inconsistent values.

The Guerilla Forge solution

We built a single AutoCAD command that:

  • Finds all relevant cabinets on specific layers
  • Automatically opens their modify dialogs, one by one
  • Hands control to a companion EXE that sets the correct blowback value
  • Returns “Done.” when every object is processed

Impact: drastic reduction in manual effort, fewer missed cabinets, and a repeatable workflow that can be run any time the design changes.

Start with a free workflow audit

If your team spends hours every week doing the same steps in AutoCAD or Excel, there’s probably a better way. Tell us what’s slowing you down, and we’ll tell you what’s realistically automatable.

What to expect

You won’t get a sales script. You’ll get a short, technical conversation about what you do today, what you want to do faster, and whether automation can bridge that gap.

If it’s a fit, we’ll follow up with:

  • A short written summary of automation opportunities
  • Rough savings estimates (time, error reduction)
  • A clear next step only if it makes sense
