In this third part of the series of posts on extracting objects from a CAD document, I’ll discuss how you might develop this CAD extraction tool further and the problems you might be able to solve.
In this second part of the series of posts on extracting objects from a CAD document, I’ll go through the process of using the ezdxf package to implement the extraction strategy discussed in part one.
This is the first part of a series of posts describing my experience of extracting objects from a CAD document.
Motivation Recently at work a project came up that involved the optimisation of building occupancy during the refit of a 16 floor central London office block.
Jupyter notebooks are great for experimentation, reporting and sharing. In a project there are often times when you need to transition from this activity to production ready code. The easiest first step is to convert your notebook to a script.
Earlier in the year I wrote about using systemd in the context of setting up a service for temperature logging and visualisation on a Raspberry Pi. Whilst the project has been stable for a long time, I’m now releasing it publically.

The wild swings in temperature have provided ample motivation to build a temperature probe and live dashboard to track patterns, open windows in good time or cope with the lead time that my pitiful electric heater requires.
