Find answers to common questions about DraftAid. Learn about supported parts, CAD integration, AI learning, and everything you need to know about automating your 2D fabrication drawings with DraftAid.
Understand what DraftAid does and how it fits into your workflow.
DraftAid is an AI-powered tool that automates 2D fabrication drawings from 3D models, saving time and reducing manual errors.
DraftAid achieves up to 80 - 90% accuracy after training on your company’s drawing data.
DraftAid’s AI learns your company’s drawing standards and generates 80–90% complete drawings inside your CAD system.
DraftAid generates most drawings in 20–30 seconds; complex parts may take up to 1 minute.
See which parts and drawing types DraftAid supports today—and what’s on the roadmap.
Aluminum extrusions, rectangular machined parts, beams, sheet metal, turned and milled parts.
Fully detailed mechanical part drawings, simplified key-feature drawings, flat patterns with bend notes.
Not yet. GD&T is planned for a future release.
Complex CNC parts, injection-molded parts, curved or organic parts, complex machined components.
Assembly drawings, weldments, layout drawings, jigs & fixtures, multi-sheet complex drawings are planned for 2026
Not yet, but multi-sheet support is planned.
Learn how DraftAid adapts to your company’s unique drawing standards.
The AI trains on your existing 3D models and drawings, adapting to your company’s templates and standards.
DraftAid generates drawings that match the uploaded template which defines layout, sheet size, annotation style, notes placement, and other drawing standards.
Yes, additional information can be added to drawings, such as notes in the title block or as general notes on the drawing.
No, DraftAid does not automatically add tolerances to drawings. Engineers must add tolerances manually after the drawing is generated. The system can potentially pull tolerances from the 3D model if they are pre-defined.
Understand how DraftAid fits with your CAD workflow and which file types it supports.
DraftAid directly integrates with SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor through an in-app plugin.
Input: STEP files and 3D models.
Output: DWG, DXF, IDW, PDF.
CATIA, Siemens NX, AutoCAD, Creo, Fusion 360
Yes — it supports PLM integration via API.
Understand how DraftAid pricing works and what options are available.
Pricing depends on your volume of drawings and level of customization. Contact our team for a tailored quote.
No — DraftAid is not offered on a pay-per-drawing basis. Due to the level of engineering customization and AI training required, we provide annual licenses aligned with your drawing volume and workflow needs.
No — DraftAid is offered as an annual license based on your expected drawing volume and AI customization needs.
DraftAid is optimized for companies generating at least 200+ drawings per month. We are not currently designed for one-off or very low-volume drafting needs.
No — DraftAid does not charge per user. Your team can have as many users as needed under your license. You can install DraftAid across your engineering team without per-seat restrictions.
To determine the right pricing, book a call with our team. We’ll assess your drawing process, part types, workflow bottlenecks, and CAD tools to tailor a license that fits your needs.
