About DatumParser

DatumParser started with a familiar frustration: I needed a table from Excel inside an AutoCAD drawing, and none of the built-in ways to do it actually worked the way I wanted.

I didn't know AutoCAD's native table tools well enough to rely on them. Building the table by hand was slow and error-prone. Paste Special got something onto the sheet, but the result was locked — basically an image, with no way to fix a typo or adjust a column without redoing the whole thing. That frustration turned into a tool I built for myself, and it turned out to be useful enough that it made sense to put it in front of other people dealing with the same problem.

DatumParser is meant to grow beyond this one tool. Excel-to-AutoCAD conversion is the first module — more tools for AutoCAD workflows are planned on the same platform.

Your files, handled carefully

Your file is processed entirely in memory and never saved to a database. Once your download is ready, there's nothing left — no copy of your file, no record of what's in it. We only keep basic usage numbers (file size, timestamp, whether the conversion succeeded) to keep the tool running smoothly, never the contents of your file.

This matters to us as much as it does to you — we work with sensitive project and client data too, and built this the way we'd want a tool handling our own files to work.
