Drafter

Smart drawing templates for the parts you draw again and again. Set a Blueprint up once and get the finished sheet back on one click, from inside SolidWorks or Siemens NX.

Standardized ASME Y14.5-2018 drawings for every part on the assembly, generated in minutes inside SolidWorks and Siemens NX. Built for aerospace teams whose builds wait on released drawings.

Model-based definition from Drafter: datums, tolerances and notes attached to the features they control, from the same read of the geometry that produces the drawing.

The right notes on every drawing: your standard note block, plus the notes a part earns from its material, its finish and its features, placed as soon as the drawing exists.

Angularity in GD&T is a symbol that defines the orientation of one feature relative to another at a specified angle within a 3D tolerance zone.Surface control shown to left. Angularity can also apply to a FOS where the derived median plane or line is controlled.

Parallelism in GD&T ensures that a referenced feature maintains a parallel orientation to a specified datum surface or line within a 3D tolerance zone.
