What problem does it solve?

Reduces the repetitive, error-prone manual steps of placing, updating, and tracking specification badges in AutoCAD millwork drawings by automating badge creation, detection, attribute synchronization, and legend generation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Smart Badge Taxonomy: Shapes and category codes (FINISH, FIXTURE, EQUIPMENT, BUYOUT, PROVENANCE) map to standardized badge codes like PL1, SS1, APPL1.
• Job-based Palettes & Excel Sync: Load job-specific badge palettes from a library or Excel and store full spec attributes on each badge for accurate legends.
• Viewport Detection & Legend Generation: Detect badges inside plot viewports, deduplicate by code, look up specs, and generate sorted legends before plotting.
• API Integration & Block Attribute Management: Sync badge data with Cambium API, update BADGE_CODE and detailed attributes, and validate provenance and availability flags.
• Commands & Workflow: Use BADGEPALETTE, REFRESHBADGES, DETECTBADGES, and CREATELEGEND to orchestrate the end-to-end workflow.
• Use Case: For a millwork job, load the job palette, place badges with leaders, run detection to compile a legend, and sync all badge attributes to the job database for procurement and fabrication.

Quick Start

Open the Luxify Toolbar and run REFRESHBADGES for the job to sync badge data and update all badge attributes in the current drawing.
