Written dimensions and measurements
Each value and how many times it appears.
Drawing analysis
AI analysis of CAD drawings, images and documents
ADRI reads DXF, DWG and PDF drawings and gives you their dimensions, layers, sections and references without opening AutoCAD. It also describes images and videos. It is for technical studios, engineering firms and companies that receive many drawings.
CAD drawings
Upload a DXF, DWG or PDF drawing and ask what you need
ADRI reads the drawing and returns its data without you opening AutoCAD: dimensions, layers, texts, sections and references for beams and columns. It is a feature of the ADRI chat. There is no separate module to activate.
| Format | How it is handled |
|---|---|
| DXF | Direct reading, from any version of AutoCAD. |
| DWG | It is converted to DXF when uploaded and the original is kept. In very recent DWGs some entity may be lost: if the counts do not match, ask for the original DXF. |
| Drawing PDF (vector) | It reads the text in the drawing: dimensions, labels and tables. |
| Scanned PDF | ADRI warns you that it is an image. If you ask it to, it reads it with OCR, with less accuracy. |
You attach the file in the chat and ask in plain language. For example: “How many dimensions and sections does this drawing have?”, “List the VC.T beams and how many there are of each type” or “What layers does it have and how many elements are in each one?”. For a specific piece of data, ask specifically: it is faster and more accurate than asking for everything.
What you get
Drawing data and a viewer to view it
Sections and references
Sections such as 30x30 or 25x35 and references such as VC.T-1.1 or P21, with their counts.
Layers
The drawing layers and how many elements each has.
Measurements by layer
Lengths and areas in m², with totals, when the drawing is native CAD at real scale.
CAD viewer in the chat
Each DXF or DWG has an “Open in CAD viewer” button, with a layer panel where you tick and untick layers, fit to screen and download.
Drawing and new DXF
ADRI can also generate an image of the drawing and create or edit a downloadable DXF.

Limits
What is reliable and what is not, clearly stated
Reliable: dimensions and counts
The written dimension values are the ones entered by the technician. Element, reference and section counts as well.
With caution: distances
Measuring on the drawing is only reliable if the drawing is native CAD at real scale. Many DWGs are an imported PDF: in that case ADRI warns you and does not measure the geometry.
It does not produce the estimate
ADRI does not do the cutting list or the automatic estimate. It extracts and presents the data. The final calculation of quantities is up to you.
To measure properly, use the original DWG created by the architect or engineer, not a PDF or a DWG exported from a PDF. A long PDF is not read in full: by default ADRI reads the first 50 pages and warns you about what is left out.
Images and video
Analysis of images and video that arrive via connectors
Another module, Vision Analysis, describes photos and videos that arrive on their own to a folder, an SFTP or another connector, and leaves a report for each file. It is useful for reviewing a lot of material without looking at everything one by one.
You connect the source
A user with connector permission creates one with destination 'Vision Analysis'. It accepts images (jpg, png, webp, gif) and videos (mp4, mov, mkv, webm).
ADRI analyses each file
It generates a title, a summary, the scene description, detected objects and, for video, key events. If it fails, it retries several times before marking it as failed.
You review
In the panel you filter by type, status or 'needs attention', open the detail, flag it and mark the analysis as reviewed. It records who reviewed it.
The analysis prompt can be edited and restored from Settings. By default it describes only what is observable: it does not identify people by face or infer biometric, emotional or health data.
Scope
What it doesn't do
It is not video surveillance
There are no live cameras or continuous detection. It analyses files that come to it.
It does not recognise faces
There is no facial recognition or face clocking in this module.
For a one-off analysis
If you just want ADRI to look at a photo or a document now, upload it to the chat and ask. And if your documents are the source of answers, use the knowledge base.
Access is by permissions and by client: by default super-admin, admin and manager can view and manage, and office can only view. Before using it, your team accepts a legal operator notice. More about how everything is protected in security and compliance.
Price
From €275/month, AI included
You pay per seat: a seat is an AI task running in parallel, not a person, so there is no limit on users. The server where your data lives is chosen separately, from €100/month. Prices exclude VAT.
Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask us
What drawing formats can ADRI read?
DXF, DWG and PDF. DWG is converted to DXF when uploaded and the original is kept. A scanned PDF is read as an image, with less accuracy.
Do I need AutoCAD to use it?
No. You upload the drawing to ADRI's chat and ask. You can also view it in a CAD viewer in the browser, with a layers panel.
Does ADRI measure distances and make the project budget?
Distances only if the drawing is native CAD at real scale. It doesn't do the budget or the cutting list: it gives you the data and you decide the final quantities.
How many pages does it read from a long PDF?
By default the first 50, and it generates an image of the first 5. It warns you about what's left out.
Is Vision Analysis a camera system?
No. It analyses images and videos that arrive via connectors. There are no live cameras or facial recognition.
Who can view image analyses?
It depends on permissions and the client. By default, super-admin, admin and manager can view and manage, and office can only view. The administrator changes this in Roles.
