Blueprints Autosetup is an add-on for Blender aimed at the setup stage of vehicle modelling. It imports all the different blueprint views and positions them correctly, so you begin modelling without approximation, scale issues or misalignment in your reference images.
The add-on has been published for almost six years and supports a wide range of Blender releases, from 2.8 through 4.2. It is distributed under the GPL license and ships with documentation. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
On Superhive, Blueprints Autosetup holds a rating of 4 from two ratings and has recorded 200+ sales. It is a small, focused tool for anyone who works from reference blueprints and wants those views placed and scaled before modelling begins, rather than adjusting them by hand each time.

Blueprints Autosetup is completely free to download and use.

The add-on also ships with documentation to help you get started.
Blueprints Autosetup imports all the different blueprint views and positions them correctly before you begin modelling, which is aimed at removing approximation, scale issues and misalignment. Rather than placing, scaling and adjusting blueprints manually at the start of each vehicle project, the add-on sets those views up for you. A demo video is available on the developer's page if you want to see how the setup process is presented before adding it to your workflow.
