Never add outer dimensions ever again

Drew automates outer dimensions for parts, assemblies, weldment bodies and flat patterns.
Add outer dimensions and weldment dimensions automatically - Drew feature highlight

See how it works

Every drawing needs outer dimensions and we got tired of adding them manually. So we automated them with Drew. 

Now, when you start a new drawing, Drew finds two or three relevant views and adds all three outer dimensions.

A sheet metal body also gets a thickness dimension. Straight weldment bodies get rotated first so they lay flat and then we add profile dimensions.

Which dimensions can Drew add for me?

When you start a new part drawing or add body sheets, Drew can add:

  • Outer dimensions 
  • Profile dimensions for a weldment body
  • Bounding box dimensions for a flat pattern
  • A thickness dimension for a sheet metal part

After that, you can add these dimensions with a single click:

  • Three outer dimensions to three views. We'll find the views.
  • Two dimensions to one selected view

One of our users called our +1 and -1 buttons "addictive" and we understand why

A sheet for each unique body

With a single click, you add a sheet with views and dimensions for each body.

When you create body sheets, Drew finds all unique bodies from the cut list. Each body gets a sheet and we attempt to add dimensions like the contour size and length for weldment bodies. Sheet metal bodies also get a thickness dimension.

We store your export settings so you never forget to add the revision again

Exporting a drawing usually takes at least five clicks, with Drew it takes one. You can use variables like custom properties and add the date to the folder or filename. This makes exporting faster and more consistent.
