WBS

Work Breakdown Structure

Organize activities by Phase, Sub-Phase, and Work Package. Color-coded bands group related work visually on the Gantt chart.

RES

Resource Block Placement

CPMCAD automatically positions resource block symbols alongside each Gantt bar based on your Excel assignments. Every team member can instantly see the tasks they own — making project meetings more focused and conversations about responsibilities and expectations more productive.

STAFF

Multi-Project Staffing Analysis

Aggregate planned hours across multiple projects and forecast weekly utilization per person. Color-coded output shows who is overloaded, on-target, or underutilized — with per-project breakdowns drawn to CAD and exported to Excel.

CAD

Native AutoCAD Output

Everything draws as native AutoCAD entities — lines, text, hatches. Edit, plot, xref, or include in construction document sets.

Workflow

Why scheduling belongs in CAD.

Engineers and Designers already work in AutoCAD. CPMCAD eliminates the disconnect between your schedule and your drawings. CAD is familiar for most designers as is Excel / Google Sheets. Minimize the software learning curve...

01

Build your schedule in Excel (xlsx format)

Define activities, durations, predecessors, and resources in a familiar spreadsheet format.

02

Import and calculate CPM

CPMCAD reads your Excel file, runs the forward/backward pass, and identifies the critical path.

03

Draw to AutoCAD

One click generates a complete Gantt chart, network diagram, or earned value analysis — drawn at print scale in model space.

04

Plot and coordinate

Use your standard page setups and sheet sets to plot. The schedule is native CAD — it works with your existing workflow.

05

Walk into meetings with clarity

Place resource block symbols directly alongside each Gantt bar so every team member can immediately identify what they're responsible for. One drawing drives clear discussions about workloads, expectations, and accountability.
