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.
When you start a new part drawing or add body sheets, Drew can add:
After that, you can add these dimensions with a single click:
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.
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.
