Screenshot for Inventor
This plugin can be used with Inventor to simplify the process of capturing images of parts of documents, or the entire document or application windows. It optionally allows you to remap the background to white and the foreground to black, and convert the entire image to grayscale, as well as sending the capture image directly to a printer.

Layer Reporter for AutoCAD
This plugin can be used to generate a report of the layers used within an AutoCAD drawing. The report formatting can be customized to the needs of the user and these settings will be applied when the tool is used on other drawings, reducing the effort required to generate other such reports.

Offset in XREF
This plugin can be used with AutoCAD to enable the OFFSET command to work with externally referenced drawings. The plugin has been tested with AutoCAD 2007 onwards. The plugin enables the standard OFFSET to work with externally referenced content instead of responding with the "Cannot offset that object." message.
