WorkBuddy garbles blueprint parameters. Has anyone else encountered this?

I came across a comparison of AI CAD tools for 2026; mechanical engineering is already using AI for simulation and generation. Watching these from a construction site feels pretty distant. But then I thought—I see CAD drawings every day. If WorkBuddy can handle spreadsheets and documents, could it also help with material lists and rebar schedules in those drawings?

I've run into this issue too—AI often mistakes side annotations on blueprints for actual parameters. You need to clean up the blueprint first before feeding it in, otherwise it can't tell what's main content vs. noise.
