Desktop Application Modernization
Consolidate and modernize desktop interfaces so your team ships faster with less maintenance overhead.
CAD Guardian LLC · Service categories
The offer is intentionally narrow: work that needs clear seams, bounded execution, and enough engineering judgment to keep modernization from turning into disruption.
TL;DR
CAD Guardian service pages help engineering and IT buyers choose the right entry point for Autodesk Vault, Inventor automation, AutoCAD plugin work, or .NET desktop modernization.
Positioning cues
Founder-led boutique. Architecture plus execution.
Enterprise-safe modernization partner for CAD-hosted and workflow-heavy systems.
Remote-first by default, with disciplined scoping and change control.
Boutique today, scalable later.
Service overview
Four service lines, intentionally narrow. Work that needs clear seams, bounded execution, and engineering judgment to keep modernization from creating disruption.

shared ui boundaries
Consolidate and modernize desktop interfaces so your team ships faster with less maintenance overhead.
autodesk recovery
Stabilize Inventor, Vault, AutoCAD, and adjacent workflow systems when uptime, reliability, or version drift starts costing your team money.
dotnet renewal
Modernize legacy desktop applications without forcing a reckless rewrite that interrupts the people who already depend on them.
workflow integration
Connect your CAD, ERP, PLM, Vault, SQL, and reporting systems so data flows reliably and costly workflow errors disappear.
Specialized service pages
Each service page below covers scope, fit, deliverables, and a service-specific FAQ. Use these for internal forwarding, RFP scoping, or to confirm fit before a discovery call.
Autodesk Vault Consulting
Vault and ADMS consulting for enterprise engineering teams: governance recovery, lifecycle and category controls, SQL integration, and stabilization through controlled upgrades. Founder-led, US-based, remote-first.
See service page →Autodesk Inventor Automation
Autodesk Inventor consulting for engineering and manufacturing teams: iLogic rules, Inventor .NET API plugins, configurators, and CAD-to-data pipelines. Built for upgrade resilience and operational throughput.
See service page →AutoCAD Plugin Development
AutoCAD .NET API plugin development with host-abstraction architecture, delivered in bounded scopes (60-hour engagements typical). Built so a single codebase targets multiple CAD hosts.
See service page →Desktop Application Modernization
.NET desktop modernization for production engineering software: .NET Framework 4.8 → .NET 8 migration, WinForms / WPF restructuring, shared UI boundary extraction. Production-safe sequencing, no rip-and-replace.
See service page →Autodesk Construction Cloud Integration
Autodesk Construction Cloud consulting: ACC API integration, BIM 360 migration, RFI/submittal/issue data pipelines, and field-to-office system connectivity. Founder-led, remote-first.
See service page →CAD Workflow Automation
CAD workflow automation for engineering teams: structured intake parsing, automated drawing delivery pipelines, and request-to-output automation. Replace manual handoffs with governed, repeatable workflows.
See service page →.NET Enterprise Automation
.NET enterprise automation: C# backend services, SQL workflow automation, and enterprise integration for engineering and manufacturing organizations. Production-safe delivery, bounded scope.
See service page →Strong fit
Legacy desktop systems that must keep shipping while they are modernized.
CAD-hosted tooling where host-specific behavior and shared behavior need a durable seam.
Workflow-heavy environments where data quality, governance, and uptime materially affect delivery.
Buyers who want a founder-led specialist instead of a handoff chain.
Not the target
Commodity staff augmentation with no architectural leverage.
Pure brand-new greenfield web marketing builds.
Public case-study disclosure that crosses confidentiality lines.
