Equipment Service Clearance Manager

Equipment Service Clearance Manager

Keep equipment service-space reviews organized and easy to document. This AutoLISP + DCL tool helps architects, designers, engineers, and drafters define equipment footprints, record clearance requirements, and identify potential obstructions.

Features include:

• Enter equipment dimensions and separate front, rear, left, and right clearances.
• Orient service zones using a picked equipment center and front direction.
• Record equipment tags, descriptions, manufacturer references, and project notes.
• Screen selected obstacle bounding boxes for potential conflicts.
• Exclude one linked equipment outline from its own obstruction check.
• Add, edit, relocate, and delete equipment records.
• Zoom to results and place color-coded zone overlays and review tags.
• Save records inside the DWG and export CSV reports.

Your download includes: LISP program, DCL dialog file, demo DXF drawing, installation instructions, and verification examples.

Command: ESCM

Requirements: Full Windows AutoCAD with Visual LISP, ActiveX, and DCL. Live version compatibility testing is pending.

Please note: Dimensions and clearance criteria are user-entered. Plan bounding-box screening can produce false positives and does not verify vertical clearance, equipment removal paths, panel movement, manufacturer requirements, or code compliance. Placed overlays are snapshots and require replacement after record changes.
