Never forget a body in a weldment drawing
Create a sheet with views, outer dimensions, a balloon and blocks for each body in one click
See how it works
Creating one view for a single body takes seven clicks. Adding a balloon takes five. Adding a dimension takes at least three.
We got tired of making drawing sheets for weldments, so we automated this task with Drew. Now it only takes one click to be 90% done.
Drew extracts all unique bodies from the cut list, creates a sheet for each one and adds the views, dimensions and annotations you want.
A blessing for multibody drawings
Our blueprints contain 20+ of your preferences for body sheets:
- The preferred sheet format
- The sheet name
- Whether to add a 3D view
- Which 2D views to add
- Whether to rotate the main view so straight weldments lay flat
- Outer dimension settings
- Whether to add a scaled flat pattern view for sheet metal parts
- Need a balloon? With or without the quantity?
- Whether to adds blocks and/or notes to each sheet
Clean up the results
Drew does the boring work so you only have to add a few detailsWhen Drew has started all body sheets, you can make quick changes like adding a view, adding important dimensions, or adding a cross-section. After each change, we shift all views to make everything fit again.
Saving only takes a single click because Drew saves the drawing next to the part or assembly and with the same name. Exporting only takes one click because we know where and how to save the exports.
