Tables to CSV
The AutoCAD add-on that turns tables — digital or scanned — into structured, editable data in seconds.
A Smarter Way to Extract Tabular Data
Tables to CSV is a powerful AutoCAD plugin designed for professionals who regularly work with tabular data embedded in drawings. Originally built to extract coordinate tables and structured text directly from native AutoCAD entities, the tool has now evolved.
The original core function — extracting data from digital AutoCAD tables — remains completely free to use. It continues to provide a fast and reliable way to convert structured drawing data into CSV format.
Now, with the addition of AI-powered scanning, Tables to CSV goes even further — allowing you to extract data from analogue sources such as scanned PDFs, pasted images, or photos of paper drawings. If you can see it in AutoCAD, Tables to CSV can help you digitise it.
Why It Exists
In the real world, not every drawing is neat, digital, and editable. Many project teams still receive old plans, scanned documents, or image-based tables that can't be copied or parsed. Re-entering that data manually is slow, error-prone, and frustrating.
Tables to CSV eliminates this bottleneck. Whether your data is digital or analogue, clean or messy, structured or scanned — it gives you a fast, accurate way to extract and re-use it.
What It Can Handle
- Native AutoCAD Tables (Free): Extract data from digital tables or structured text within your drawing.
- Scanned PDFs (AI Upgrade): Convert non-editable scans into usable CSV data using intelligent recognition.
- Pasted or Embedded Images (AI Upgrade): Identify and extract table content from image-based sources inside the DWG file.
- Photos of Paper Drawings (AI Upgrade): Even hand-held camera shots of paper-based tables can be analysed.
Who It's For
Tables to CSV is used by:
- 📐 Surveyors working with coordinate tables on site plans
- 🏗️ Engineers digitising legacy documentation
- 🧱 Construction teams needing fast access to field data
- 📊 Analysts importing data into spreadsheets or systems
Cost-Effective and Practical
The AI-powered scanner is a paid feature, designed to offer exceptional value for the time it saves. It's priced to be as affordable as possible — especially considering the effort and complexity it replaces.
You can try the AI scanner with 10 free scans, then continue by redeeming a code or purchasing credits when you need more.
Fast, Accurate, and Built for the Real World
With a streamlined interface and intelligent processing, Tables to CSV delivers what professionals need: speed, simplicity, and accuracy. It fits naturally into your workflow and works right inside AutoCAD — no switching tools, no copying and pasting, and no manual retyping.
