Draftaid

DraftAid is AI software that automates the production of 2D fabrication drawings from 3D CAD models. Instead of an engineer laying out views, dimensions and annotations by hand, DraftAid generates the drawing sheets automatically, applying the company's own templates and standards, and can run in batches to produce hundreds of drawings in the background. It is built for engineering teams, fabrication shops and manufacturers, with stated use in automotive assemblies, precision machined and sheet metal parts, pipes and extrusions, and structural work. DraftAid applies existing title blocks and templates, follows each organization's drawing settings for arrowheads, annotation styles, callouts and dimension formatting, and supports custom dimensioning strategies such as chain dimensions, ordinate dimensions and hole tables. It automates layout, scaling and break lines for readable sheets. Output goes to native formats including IDW, PDF, DWG and DXF. The tool integrates with major CAD packages, and the site names SolidWorks and Inventor. Pricing is not published. The site has no pricing page and directs buyers to schedule a demo, so costs are quote based. The founding team built the product after years of producing manufacturing drawings manually, and the vendor states that the tool reduces drafting time by up to 90 percent; that figure is the vendor's own claim.
