Simple FM Tools & Simple FM Tools PRO is an AutoCAD plug-in for AutoCAD users working with floor plan drawings. The toolset palette also includes functionality to aid in the process of preparing AutoCAD drawings for a Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) software application.
Available in the Standard 3 palette toolset, or the PRO toolset, which includes the standard 3 palettes (outlined below), and the additional 4th fmDATA palette (outlined below).
