Smarter Workflows with Apryse Server: Introducing CAD Title Block Extraction

The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry relies on title blocks in technical drawing for critical project information. However, manually extracting data from these title blocks to include in management systems and project workflows, has been a tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming task.

Apryse Server’s new CAD Title Block Extraction is designed to eliminate that bottleneck by automatically identifying and extracting the title block data directly from technical drawings.

To reduce software expenses, project teams often share technical drawings as PDFs instead of using CAD tools. While cost-effective, this approach removes the machine-readable structure of title block data, requiring manual extraction and entry into document management systems and workflows. This creates several operational challenges:

Building on its Key-Value Extraction feature, Apryse Server’s CAD Title Block Extraction feature leverages a custom trained AI model to automatically identify and extract data from the title block. The model is specifically trained on a diverse dataset of technical drawings, allowing it to handle the variations in title block layouts found across the industry.

Once detected, the title block data is output in structured JSON format. Development teams can seamlessly integrate this metadata into digital workflows. This allows for fast, accurate search, retrieval, and management of large volumes of technical drawings—without the need for manual data entry.

By automating the identification and extraction of title block data, CAD Title Block Extraction enables teams to unlock new levels of efficiency, scalability, and intelligence in their workflows. Teams can:

This powerful new capability is part of Apryse’s Smart Data Extraction suite and is built on our proven Key-Value Extraction API now enhanced with technical drawing data in the AI model. Customers can start using CAD Title Block Extraction today by simply updating their Apryse SDK and Smart Data Extraction (SDE) module—no additional setup required.

In an industry where precision, speed, and collaboration are critical, manual title block data extraction has long been a hidden bottleneck for AEC teams. Apryse Server’s CAD Title Block Extraction removes that friction by transforming static PDFs into structured, searchable data—unlocking smarter workflows and scalable automation.

By eliminating manual effort, reducing human error, and enabling seamless integration with existing systems, this feature empowers teams to build tools that are not only more efficient, but also more intelligent and future ready. Whether you are managing thousands of drawings or building enterprise-grade solutions, automated title block extraction is a game-changer for modern AEC workflows.
